Basis

Basis is a personal productivity tool that holds your tasks, notes, and reference material in one calm workspace. No more switching between a task app and a note app. One system for everything you want to do, remember, and save. WHY BASIS Your brain doesn't split "reply to Mike" from "the article I want to save" from "the recipe to try later." Different apps do, and every context switch is a tax on focus. Basis holds active tasks, captured notes, and your reference library in one place. Everything's cleanly organized, but nothing's walled off just because it happens to be a task versus a note. FEATURES - Tasks and notes in a unified interface - Reference library for articles, PDFs, photos, meeting notes - Notebooks to organize what you save, or leave things loose - Natural language capture: type "buy milk tomorrow p1 @errands" and Basis prioritizes, schedules, and tags it - Focus section to curate what you're working on today - Rich text editor with tables, lists, and inline images - Full keyboard support for power users DESIGNED FOR CALM Most productivity apps get louder over time. More badges. More features begging for attention. Basis takes the other path. Every design choice is against the noise, so your work stands out, not the app. WHO IT'S FOR For anyone who keeps their tasks in one app and their notes in another. Basis brings both together in one calm workspace.
