The app should act like an extension of your mind, not another thing to manage.
Quick capture with minimal friction. No decision overload. Start messy, refine as you gain clarity.
Tasks are RAM—execution of what you know. Notes are ROM—discovery and capture.
Be a good manager, and an even better employee.
The goal is 37% exploration, 63% execution. Optimal stopping, applied.
Keep what's recent, relevant, and repeated close at hand.
Your past effort should be accessible. The interface surfaces what matters now and fades the rest.
Be opinionated but not rigid. Don't create a system so inflexible it breaks when life changes.
And when you outgrow Owldo, make it easy to leave. Export everything, no lock-in.
