Stop wasting your precious time, energy and attention. Discard distractions and overwhelm. Capture, retrieve, plan and execute with crystalline clarity and confidence.
20+ years seeking the best knowledge-management, mindmapping, task-management, personal tracking and operational tools for living a better life.
Over a decade of notes taken, day and night, as insights and ideas arrive.
Eleven years on the self-taught developer journey.
Countless learning projects along the way.
Here we are.
- Maximize efficiency; minimize barriers to effective action
- Attractive UI matters; make it a habitable home
- Leverage visual intelligence for intuitive action, context, and knowledge density
- Favor maximimum customizability and options for the user, but provide sensible defaults (will include a community marketplace for themes, widgets, processes etc)
- Unify the environment and eliminate knowledge silos and dead/lost artifacts
- Information is
- fragmented across multiple apps
- hidden and lost within files and folders
- difficult to retrieve due to missing context
- hard to track/store/log with context due to poor UI & lack of enabling features
- Priorities are
- difficult to track coherently amongst the multifarious information silos and lost notes
- forgotten
- wasting time and energy to continually recreate
- Actions are
- difficult to plan due to important context being missing
- out of order due to priorities being misplaced
- wasting time and energy to continually recreate
- Information & insights are lost due to
- lack of interconnections
- lack of visibility
- Time and energy are wasted due to all of the above
- Energy is limited
- Time is limited
- Attention is limited
- Memory is fallible
- Judgment is fallible and based on incomplete information and context
All of the above are subject to further degradation based on
- Illness & health limitations
- Fatigue
- Distraction - work and life environment
- Inherent personal characteristics - genetics, neurodivergence, trauma, injury, metabolism
The conception of Metabrain is rooted in my challenges like handling a vast number of projects, combating brain fog, the desire for efficient planning, and tackling the anxiety of undefined task durations.
This is not just an app; it's a solution emanating from my personal experiences and struggles. The vision of Metabrain is a direct reflection of my principles, needs, and desires for efficiency and comprehensive planning.
