Notes and tasks app

Discovery phase

A personal project I have been noodling for a while. It’s another passion project. I use the bullet journal system for work and digital options like OneNote and Notion just don’t work for me. I would actually love to see a simpler, stripped down version that focuses on quick set-up and rapid note-taking/entries - a core bullet journal tenet that is lost when using the big players.

Product vision:

To remove all barriers and allow anybody anywhere to be productive everyday.
