I run a few small businesses on my own, mostly from random apartments in whatever timezone I'm in that month, and I kept bouncing between focus apps that wanted more from me than I wanted from them. Streaks to keep alive. A score to chase. A notes section that slowly turned into its own filing project. At some point I was spending more energy managing the tool than doing the actual work. So I built the thing I actually wanted. One window: a timer, a task list, and a single markdown notes doc. That's it. Nothing tracking me. It's a local Tauri app, so it's small and fast. The hard part was saying no. Every time I used it I'd think of something to add: tags, folders, a second notes tab, a little productivity graph. I cut almost all of it. If the app ever starts nagging you or trying to gamify your day, I've gotten it wrong. Enjoy!
