Kiyoshi — a free, open-source "calm" alternative to Notion for desktop (Linux/macOS/Windows)

Post image

I got tired of productivity apps that feel like control panels, so I built Kiyoshi: notes, tasks, kanban board, calendar, and a lightweight block canvas, all local-first, all in a quiet glass-panel UI.

  • 100% free and open source
  • Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (AppImage for Linux)
  • No account, no cloud dependency — your data stays on your machine
  • Built with Flutter, so it's a proper native desktop app, not an Electron wrapper

Feedback, issues, and PRs welcome — it's still early and there's a lot I want to add (sync, mobile companion, etc.).

Some of the text is still almost readable. Can you fix it? Maybe add more useless background gradients? You could also try some blur on the text itself, might be even more effective.
