Organize Your Life.
Or At Least Pretend To.

Why Bother With Yet Another App?
Good question. Here's our attempt at justifying our existence.
Actually Fast
No loading spinners for two minutes. Tasks appear instantly because we did our jobs properly. Low bar, but here we are.
Your Data is Yours
Export anytime. No hostage situations. We're not trying to trap you; we're trying to earn your continued disappointment.
Built by Procrastinators
We understand your struggle because we are you. Every feature was added when we should've been doing something else.
Works Everywhere
Desktop, tablet, phone, that ancient laptop you refuse to replace. If it has a browser, it probably works.
Free Tier That's Actually Usable
Not a 7-day trial where you panic on day 6. The free version is genuinely functional. Capitalism-lite.
No Toxic Positivity
We won't tell you to "crush it" or be your "best self today." We'll just quietly sit here while you get stuff done. Maybe.
What You're Actually Getting
A surprisingly complete suite of features that you'll use for a week, forget about for three months, then rediscover with renewed enthusiasm. Repeat ad infinitum.
Task Manager That Actually Works
Add tasks, check them off, watch your completion rate fluctuate between "impressive" and "deeply concerning." Features include due dates (which you'll ignore), priority levels (all of them are high, obviously), and a satisfying checkbox animation that's frankly the main reason anyone uses this.
- Unlimited tasks (because your ambition has no bounds)
- Subtasks for when one task isn't enough procrastination
- Real-time stats to quantify your existential dread
Level 6
Daring Trailblazer
Next Level: 230 XP away from "Mildly Impressive"
Gamification (Because Adulting Needs XP)
Earn points for completing tasks, level up through increasingly absurd titles, and feel that dopamine hit every time you check something off. Is it manipulative? Yes. Does it work? Also yes. We're not proud, but we're effective.
- XP system that makes checking boxes feel heroic
- Level titles ranging from "Beginner" to "Productivity Demigod"
- Streak tracking for competitive procrastinators
Life Calendar (Existential Crisis Included)
Visualize your entire life as a grid of weeks. Watch the colored squares fill in as time marches inexorably forward. Add labels to mark significant moments, or just use it to contemplate the finite nature of existence. Either way, it's pretty.
- Your life in 4,680 tiny squares (assuming 90 years)
- Color-coded labels for life phases
- Notes per week for journaling (or crying)
Life Progress
Focus Timer
Pomodoro Timer (45 Minutes of Denial)
The classic technique of working in focused bursts, except you can customize the duration because who actually follows rules? Set your timer, pretend to focus, and feel vaguely accomplished when it rings. Break time is sacred and shall not be questioned.
- Customizable focus sessions (5-120 minutes)
- Audio notifications (optional screaming)
- Session history for guilt-tripping yourself later
How It Works
Three simple steps to achieving productivity enlightenment. Or at least feeling like you tried.
Create an Account
Sign up with your email. We promise not to spam you. Much. Your data is safe, probably, we haven't been hacked yet.
Dump Your Tasks
Brain dump everything you need to do. Set up your Life Calendar. Customize your Pomodoro settings. Procrastinate on the setup itself.
Pretend to Be Productive
Start checking things off. Watch your XP grow. Feel accomplished. Ignore the mounting backlog. This is fine. Everything is fine.
No credit card required. We're not that desperate. Yet.
What People Allegedly Say
Real quotes from real users. Probably. We didn't make these up. (Okay, the names might be slightly altered for privacy reasons and/or because we forgot them.)
"I've tried Todoist, Notion, Asana, and seventeen other apps. This one has a Life Calendar that stares at me accusingly. Somehow that works better than all the others. I've completed 47% more tasks out of sheer existential motivation."
Sarah K.
Recovering Perfectionist
"The gamification is legitimately addicting. I caught myself doing actual work just to see my XP bar go up. Is it healthy? Debatable. Am I getting more done? Unfortunately, yes. My boss is suspicious."
Marcus T.
Reluctant Adult
"Four stars because the Pomodoro timer ended my 45-minute focus session with a gentle chime instead of an air horn. Feature request: add an air horn option. Otherwise, solid app. My dissertation thanks you."

But Wait, There's Less!
Common questions from confused visitors:
"What's the catch?"
No catch. We're just not very good at capitalism.
"Will you add paid plans later?"
Maybe? But you'll be grandfathered in forever. Pin this page as evidence.
"Are you mining crypto on my computer?"
No, we can barely keep the server running. Your CPU is safe.
