Your day is a
text file. Drawer
just slides it in.

Today's tasks slide out at the edge of your screen, read straight from a plain markdown file. Check one off, the file updates. No account. No database. Yours.

The whole idea

One file. In and out of view.

Keep your day in one markdown file. Drawer reads today's tasks and writes your checkmarks back. That is the whole loop.

Write

Type it anywhere

Checkboxes under a dated heading. In Obsidian, an editor, or iCloud.

Summon

Hit the hotkey

The panel slides from the top-left edge. Today, carried over, and tomorrow, sorted.

Focus

Run the timer

Start a session on any task. Pomodoro cycles and a stopwatch that logs real hours.

Sync

Check it off

Tap the circle. The checkbox writes straight back to your file.

What's inside

Everything optional. Strip it to Minimal, or turn it all on.

Global hotkey

Show and hide from anywhere. No window switching.

Space

Focus timer & Pomodoro

Pause, resume, chime at the end. Or run full Pomodoro cycles.

Stopwatch

Log real hours on a task, with an end-of-day summary.

Idea board

Jot a thought, swipe to a board. It lives in the same file.

Notes & teleprompter

A pad with a teleprompter that floats over other apps.

Live file sync

Edit in Obsidian, an editor, or iCloud. The panel stays in step.

Focus sounds & check-off chimes

White, pink, brown, green, and ocean noise. Plus a chime when a task gets ticked. Respects Reduce Motion.

Swipe to act

Swipe a row to delete or flag it. Notes go as indented lines.

Eight worlds

Calm system glass, or an art-directed world.

Switch in Settings with ⌘,. From a glass plate to a bitmap game window.

Made for AI

Ask an AI. It reads your whole vault.

Your day is a plain markdown file, so an AI can write it. Point it at your Obsidian vault. It reads everything, your projects, notes, and meetings, then writes tomorrow's tasks into the file in the format Drawer expects. Open the panel and they are there.

Drop in the drawer-tasks skill and any AI nails the format. Then just say "plan my tomorrow."
your vault · assistant

Plan my tomorrow from my project notes. Three tasks, put a time estimate on each.

- [ ] Send the client the Q3 mockups (30m)

Drawer shows them the moment you open the panel.
The format

Just markdown checkboxes.

A dated ## heading starts a day. Tasks under it belong to that day. Add (15m) for a focus hint. Indent to write a note.

Simple enough to write by hand. Simple enough for an AI to write for you.
# today.md, write it anywhere
