Tangentflow: Calm Todo Board

Upbrew

About this app

Most todo apps act like disappointed managers. Red badges. Overdue screams. Streaks that break.

TangentFlow is the other kind. It's a calm little board for everything your brain throws at you, built on one rule: nothing here will ever make you feel bad.

CATCH IT BEFORE IT DRIFTS
One bar, always ready. Type the thought, hit enter, done. Add #tags and priority with ! or !! right in the sentence, or don't. A home-screen widget and share-sheet capture mean a thought is never more than one tap from safe.

THREE COLUMNS, ZERO CEREMONY
Backlog, Doing, Done. Swipe a card to move it. High-priority thoughts float gently to the top. That's the whole system: no projects-inside-projects, no setup weekend.

NO GUILT. EVER.
Nothing turns red. There are no streaks, no badges, no "you've missed 12 days." A due date, if you even want one, just says "was due 5 Jul" and keeps waiting. Missed things sit quietly until you're ready. This isn't a missing feature: it's the whole point.

YOURS. ONLY YOURS.
Everything lives on your phone. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking — we couldn't read your thoughts if we wanted to. Optional Face ID lock. Optional daily backups to a folder you control. Export everything as plain JSON, anytime.

QUIET EXTRAS, ALL OPTIONAL
• Multiple boards for separate corners of life
• A gentle insights page, quiet wins, not scoreboards
• Photo attachments (off by default)
• Soft animated card backgrounds, if you like a little color
• Light, dark, and system themes
• iPad layout with all three columns side by side

No ads. No subscription. No account.

Made for minds that move faster than todo lists.
