Patlat

Patlat is the little app you wished existed: write down what's on your mind, watch it drift across the screen as a bubble, and pop it the moment it's done. No folders. No priorities to assign. No projects to set up. Every task is just a bubble waiting to be popped — and popping one feels genuinely satisfying. HOW IT WORKS • Tap anywhere to drop a new bubble and write your task • Bubbles drift naturally around the screen — no rigid list to scroll through • Pop a bubble by tapping it, holding it, or using a Shop tool — however you like to work • Reminders show up right on their day in Calendar, with real device alerts HEADSPACES Keep separate canvases for work, life, and someday-maybe — so your brain dump for one doesn't clutter the other. MAKE IT YOURS The Shop lets you customize how popping feels and looks: • Pop tools that pop bubbles for you • Burst effects — from a classic pop to confetti • Bubble shapes and scene looks More styles land in future updates. REMINDERS THAT DON'T NAG Set a reminder once and it appears as its own calendar page on the day it matters — no separate to-do app, no duplicate entries.
