brain·hower is a calm space to empty your head, then drag each task into an Eisenhower matrix — urgent vs. important. Free, no account, and everything stays in your browser. Clear your head in about two minutes.
How does it actually decide what counts as urgent vs important when you first dump everything in your head, or is it totally manual once you drop the tasks in?
@ayselcgzn Totally manual right now , you decide by dragging, and that's on purpose: the 10 seconds of asking "is this urgent? is it important?" is where the clarity actually comes from. That said, an AI that reads your dump and suggests a quadrant is the #1 thing I'm building for the Pro version. Great question 🙏
How does it actually handle tasks that don't fit neatly into one quadrant, like something that's both urgent and not important but emotionally weighing on me?
@seda17029 Love this one. You place it yourself , and honestly the "emotionally heavy but not important" tasks are the most useful to drop in, usually into Let go or Schedule. Naming it as not urgent is often what quiets the loop in your head. The matrix isn't about a perfect fit; it's about forcing one decision so the task stops circling. Notes/tags for that nuance are on my list.
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.
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?
