Things I built
and left on

Every one of these started as something I needed for my own week and then turned out to be worth leaving up. They're free, they run in your browser, and none of them ask for an email before they'll work. Sign in only if you want your work to follow you between devices.

01

Time management matrix

Sort your week into four quadrants and see what actually deserves today.

The Eisenhower matrix, as a board you can drag things around on. Dump everything in, split it by urgent versus important, and the day gets a lot clearer — especially the pile you've been avoiding.

  • Four quadrants
  • Drag to re-sort
  • Progress as you tick off

02

Study timer

A Pomodoro clock, ten task slots, and a screen that stays on while you work.

Built for a desk you're actually sitting at. Big countdown, ten slots for the day, and finished sessions counted against whichever task you pointed the timer at.

  • Ten task slots
  • Keeps the screen awake

The deal

Free, and no email wall

None of these ask you to sign up before they do the thing. They save to your browser the moment you touch them, so you can bookmark a page and it'll be waiting exactly as you left it.

If you'd rather your work followed you around, sign in with Google and it saves to your account instead — start on the laptop, finish on your phone. One account covers every tool here, including whatever I add next.

More are coming. I build them when I get annoyed enough at doing something by hand, which happens at a fairly reliable rate — the blog usually gets the story of why.
