Three tabs, one app
Everything you need, nothing extra
Switch between Tasks, Focus, and Memo from the bottom nav — same forest-glass
shell,
different rhythms for planning, doing, and capturing.
Tab 1
Tasks
Today holds up to five active tasks with a visible cap meter.
Everything
else waits in Backlog until you pull it forward.
Kanban workflow board (To Do, In Progress, Done) with drag-and-drop; List, Compact &
Matrix
Categories & subtasks; priority orbs in List, Compact & Matrix
Backlog warms to yellow-green when you browse it
Tab 2
Focus
Pick what matters today, run a focus session, or switch to Pomodoro
when
you need timed sprints.
Daily Focus queue + session panel
Pomodoro with work / break phases
Begin Tasks when your queue is ready
Tab 3
Memo
Quick capture on the same frosted-glass surface as Tasks and Focus —
memo cards in a responsive grid, with a green accent stripe. Thoughts that are not quite
tasks.
Glass memo cards with spring hover lift
Inset composer — Enter to save, Shift+Enter for a new line
Click to remove with a soft sink animation

Tasks, Focus & Memo — same calm shell
The three tabs you just read about — swipe or use the arrows to browse real app
views on desktop.
Designed to feel, not just function
Dark forest-green glass over slow-drifting blobs. Cards lift on hover with spring easing;
checkboxes and trays use a soft neumorphic raised/inset language — tactile without
skeuomorphic
chrome.
All three tabs share that same shell — Tasks, Focus, and Memo use matching glass cards and
neumorphic inset fields. Focus stays minimal: queue, timer, one clear next action.

Backlog
Sketch onboarding flow
Built into the app
Small rules, big clarity
Grove nudges you toward a sustainable daily load — then adds the small touches
the onboarding tour skips: subtasks, your own labels, filters, and one-click moves.
Today cap
Five active slots max. The dot meter shows how full today is — amber
when you hit the limit so backlog stays honest.
Four layouts
List for flow, Kanban as a workflow board (To Do, In Progress, Done)
with drag-and-drop between columns, Compact for density, Matrix for
Eisenhower sorting — same tasks, different lens.
Focus modes
Daily Focus lines up today’s queue and session flow. Pomodoro adds
timed
work and break cycles when you need structure.
Memo grid
Glass memo cards for quick thoughts that are not quite tasks — type in
the composer, browse the grid, and click to clear without opening a second app.
Priority orbs
Tap the glowing dot for high, medium, or low. Color carries urgency
without turning every row into a form.
Completion motion
Strike-through, slide-away task dismiss, memo sink — finishes feel
like
release, with reduced-motion respect when you need it.
Subtasks
Expand any task into a checklist — add steps inline, tick them off one
by one, and keep the parent task honest without spawning five separate rows.
Your matrix labels
In Matrix layout, tap Edit quadrants to rename each title and subtitle
—
Do / Schedule / Delegate / Eliminate become whatever language you actually use. Drag tasks
between quadrants when priorities shift.
Custom categories
Create your own category labels with color dots, filter Today and
Backlog
by tag, and pick a default category from the chip when you add a task — Manage lives in the
sidebar.
Filters & quick moves
Slice Today by Active, Done, or All; filter by priority from the
sidebar.
Select a task to move it between Today and Backlog or remove it — no buried menus.
"Five tasks today beats fifty on a list you'll never touch. Clarity is the feature."
