Projectholic — Project Planner, Gantt & Focus Timer The all-in-one project management app for creators, founders, and solo operators. Plan projects on a visual timeline, drag tasks across a Kanban board, run focus sessions, and see exactly where your week went — on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Stop juggling Notion, Things, and a stopwatch. Projectholic gives you one place to define a goal, break it into tasks, schedule it, and actually finish it. WHY CREATORS CHOOSE PROJECTHOLIC ◆ Kanban Board with Drag & Drop (NEW) A frictionless inbox → today → follow-up flow. Drop a half-baked idea into Inbox, drag it onto a time block, done. Built for the way solo operators actually think. ◆ Focus Timer & Time Visuals (NEW) Start a focus session on any task and watch the time bar fill in real time. See exactly where your day went — by project, by category, by hour. ◆ Stats Dashboard (NEW) A weekly debrief in one screen: planned vs. actual hours, focus time per project, completion rate, and where your effort leaks. ◆ Project Outcomes & Milestones (NEW) Define the outcome that matters before you start. Track milestones, see momentum at a glance, and end every project with a clear "did I ship it" answer. ◆ Gantt Chart for iPad & Mac Plan multi-week projects on a true visual timeline. Pinch to zoom, drag to resize phases, edit subtasks inline, and re-anchor your schedule the moment scope shifts. ◆ Smart Recurring & Multi-Day Tasks Skip weekends, repeat weekly, spill long tasks across days automatically. Designed for real working rhythms — not rigid calendar grids. ◆ Time = Budget Compare planned hours against time actually spent on every task and project.

No cloud dependency. No data lock-in. Buy once, own it forever. HOW IT WORKS Save content from any source: share a link, scan a QR code, import a PDF, or write your own notes in the built-in Markdown editor. Trelk's on-device AI reads, summarizes, and indexes everything locally. As your library grows, Trelk automatically discovers connections between ideas — surfacing relationships you'd never find on your own.

Trelk maps conceptual links between articles, papers, and notes — visually showing how topics relate across your entire library. Watch isolated readings transform into an interconnected web of understanding. OPEN-SOURCE AI, ON YOUR DEVICE Trelk ships with open-source models from Hugging Face that run entirely on your phone. No API keys, no subscriptions, no data leaving your device. Want more power? Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or download any GGUF model directly from Hugging Face. ASK YOUR LIBRARY Ask questions and get answers grounded in what you've actually read. Hybrid retrieval — full-text search combined with semantic understanding — finds the most relevant content across your entire library. Every answer includes source citations linking back to your original items. FLASH REVIEW & SPACED REPETITION Knowledge fades without review. Trelk generates flash review questions from your content and uses spaced repetition to help you retain what matters. Track your retention score, review streaks, and topic performance over time. DAILY PULSE Start each day with an AI-generated synthesis of your recent saves — key themes, emerging patterns, and suggested connections. Your Pulse dashboard shows reading activity, content trends, and progress at a glance. COMMUNITY COLLECTIONS Browse curated collections assembled by the Trelk community.
