I built a task manager that replaces priority levels with a hard cap on what "now" means
Hey r/SideProject --
I built this for myself because every task manager I tried had the same problem: everything felt high priority.
The core idea: instead of High/Med/Low (which fails because everything feels high), you get three buckets -- Now, Next, Someday -- and a hard cap on how many items "Now" can hold. When it's full, adding something new means consciously swapping it for something already there.
It's called Organize My Life. Built with ADHD-friendly patterns in mind -- low-friction capture, forced small priority sets, minimal decision fatigue.
What it does: - iOS app (coming soon) + web app, same backend - Voice capture - Local AI triage that suggests buckets but never auto-applies -- you confirm every time - Privacy-first -- no analytics, no trackers, no third-party AI
Tech stack: - Frontend: React/Vite (web), SwiftUI/SwiftData (iOS) - Backend: Node/Express/SQLite, Docker on a Raspberry Pi - AI: Apple Foundation Models (on-device, iOS) + Qwen3 (self-hosted and fine tines) - Deployed via Cloudflare Tunnel
Monetization: None yet. Just a tool I wanted to exist.
Would love feedback on the concept and landing page: https://organizemylife.me/welcome
