About Minnow: things & thoughts
Minnow: Catch the fish, forget the net. Inspired by Zhuangzi's wisdom, Minnow isn't just a minimalist todo and jot app – it's your partner for a lighter way of living. It helps you capture the essential "fish" (key tasks or insights) and gently forget the "net" (the tool itself). It’s not your typical reminder app, nor a note-hoarding vault. If you, like us: crave focus over constant pings, prefer capturing points & sparks to rigid plans, and have a mind buzzing with ideas needing a calm space... then you might just love Minnow. Four Spaces: • Now: Where today's focus resides; as is Now, flow within. • Morrow: Where future thoughts gather; no thought for the Morrow. • Gone: Where completed things rest; gone, gone, gone beyond. • Flow: Where insights and ideas land; meaning found, words fade. Effortless Experience: • Simple: Clean design, helping you focus. • Natural: Smooth gestures, delightful haptics & sound. • Widgets: Quick access to Now & Flow on the go. • No Nagging: No deadlines, no reminders. Your flow, your rules. Data & Privacy: • iCloud Sync: Safe, seamless sync across your devices. • Private: No sign-up needed. Your data is yours alone. • Export: Export your data as Markdown files anytime, keeping you in control.
