Open IdeaDock and start writing. No account, no email, not even an anonymous one — your first list is already waiting. Keep it that way, or sign in when you want your lists on every device and shared with the people you plan with. CAPTURE IT BEFORE YOU FORGET IT Type it, or hold the mic and say it. A thought you have on the stairs is in the right list before you reach the top. A LIST FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE Groceries, work, the weekend, the thing you keep meaning to fix. Every list gets its own icon, so you find it without reading. SHARE ONE LIST, NOT ALL OF THEM Invite someone to a single list by email. They add, tick off and edit, and you both see it happen. Everything else stays yours. No more planning in a chat thread. IT TIDIES ITSELF Priorities, pinning, filters and sorting. Deleted tasks sit in the trash for 30 days before they go for good, so nothing vanishes by accident. BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE Your notes are encrypted before they are stored, with a separate key for every list. Without an account, nothing leaves your device at all. Free. No ads. No account required.
