Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built brain·hower because whenever I had too much going on, I'd freeze up , so I'd open Google Docs and brain-dump everything. The problem: a flat list doesn't tell you what actually matters.
So I made the thing I wanted: you dump every task on the left (like a doc, one line each), then drag each one into an Eisenhower matrix on the right. Suddenly "everything is urgent" becomes a plan.
A few decisions I care about:
No account, no server. Your board is saved in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Free. The whole app, no paywall.
It feels good. Real drag-and-drop, and a little confetti when you finish a task.
It's a young project and I'd genuinely love feedback, what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually use it. Thanks for taking a look 🙏

Does this actually store anything in localStorage or browser cache so my matrix is still there if I refresh, or do I lose it the moment I close the tab?

@nihat2sng Yep , everything saves to your browser's localStorage, so it's there after a refresh and after you close the tab. It stays until you clear your browser data. Nothing's uploaded (that's the whole privacy promise), so there's an Export button to back it up or move it to another device. Cloud sync is coming with Pro.

Love how lightweight this is, two minutes is the right promise. One thing that would help me actually finish tasks instead of just sorting them: a way to schedule a single dragged-in task directly to my calendar from the matrix, so the urgent/important quadrant doesn't just become a pretty to-do graveyard by Friday.

@erdem522541 "Pretty to-do graveyard by Friday" 😂 that's exactly the failure mode I want to kill. Add-to-calendar straight from a task is high on my list , and I'll do it backend-free so your own calendar reminds you even when brain·hower is closed. Full reminders/push will come with Pro. Really sharp framing, thank you.

Does the matrix arrangement get saved automatically as you move things around, or do you have to click something to commit each change?

@emirhan255440 Auto-saves instantly , the moment you drop a task it's written to your browser, no save button anywhere. Refresh whenever, it's all still there.

how does it actually decide what counts as urgent vs important when sorting, since that part always trips me up with other tools?

Love that it just opens and works, no sign-up friction. The drag-to-quadrant feels oddly satisfying and actually helped me drop the vague anxiety into something concrete in under two minutes.

@lhancltm This genuinely made my day 🙏 "Dropping vague anxiety into something concrete" is the exact feeling I was chasing when I built it. Thanks for trying it , anything that felt missing or clunky while you used it?

The no-account, browser-only approach is such a respectful choice for something this quick and personal. Really like how the matrix layout puts the visual sorting at the center instead of hiding it behind menus.

@tugayalbar Thank you , this is exactly the thinking behind it 🙏 Something you reach for in a moment of overwhelm shouldn't ask you to sign up first, and the sorting is the product, so I didn't want it buried under menus. Really glad that landed. Anything you'd want front-and-center that isn't yet?
