The weight of your life load is so much more than a to-do list. Every unfinished task, pending conversation, and lingering worry lives rent-free in your mind — creating pressure that scrambles your focus and stresses your recall. Talioop gives you a place to see and manage all of it within a single view. See what's really on your plate. Talioop renders every open loop as an arc on a single radial sunburst — your whole mental load on one screen. Bigger arcs are bigger areas of life; stacked arcs categorize where thoughts reside. Pinch to zoom, drag to rotate, double-tap to recenter. The longer something has been open, the more it stands out. Capture in seconds — type or talk. Tap the bar at the bottom of the plate and write a sentence ("Reply to Sarah," "Book flights," "Worried about taxes"). Or hold the mic and dictate — Talioop transcribes your voice with Whisper and turns it into a loop. Cmd+K focuses capture from anywhere. Voice commands that manage, not just capture. Say "close book flights," "mark Mom waiting on me," "add Reply to Sarah under Work" — Talioop parses the intent with Claude and runs the action across your existing loops. Compound commands work in one breath. "Undo" reverses the last move. AI sorts itself. Every new loop is auto-typed (task, worry, idea, habit, person, event, organization, tool, or one of your own custom types) and auto-parented under the most relevant existing area of your life. A 2-word label is generated for the arc so the chart stays readable as it grows. Loops can wait on each other. Mark something "waiting on Bob" with a free-text note and stop re-checking it every day. Closing a parent cascades closure down its whole subtree. Stale loops surface themselves. Anything you haven't touched in two weeks rises to a stale-loop nudge so nothing rots silently in the back of your mind. Closure that feels like closure. Tasks burst into confetti when you check them off. Events tear off the calendar like a page being ripped away. Closing matters — research shows open loops consume working memory even when you're not thinking about them. A list when you want one. Switch to the list view for a vertical checklist of every open loop, filtered by type, with per-type counts at the top. One-click checkbox closes the loop. Real-time across every device. Sign in with Apple, the web app, or any other device — edits appear everywhere within a second. Talioop isn't another to-do app. It's a cognitive offloading tool built for people who think deeply, don't want to over commit and want to finally be organized with clear direction. --- EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://app.talioop.com/privacy

Kobako — Japanese for “small box” — is a quick place to put an idea down before it slips away. Kapi, a capybara, lives there and looks after whatever you leave. CATCH IT IN A SECOND • Tap the bulb and type or dictate — the idea is saved before the thought is gone • Capture straight from a Home Screen widget or a Control Center button • Kapi notices a new idea and cheers you on EVERYTHING IN ONE FEED • New ideas land in Inbox and lie as cards right on the app’s Home • A row of folders sits above the feed: tap one to see only its ideas • Sort by newest, oldest, priority or due date • An idea that grows gets a fresh page laid over it — up to five, with the earlier thinking still readable underneath • Search finds any idea or folder in a few letters CLOSE IT, KEEP IT Tick a card when an idea is done, and it flies into Closed. Nothing disappears: finished ideas rest there, and any of them can be reopened. A QUIET FRIEND Kapi putters about his window library and naps while you are away; a tap wakes him. Once a day, around eight in the evening, he knocks to ask how the day went — and skips it if the app was already opened that evening. AT HOME ON EVERY SCREEN • iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo — two panes side by side on iPad in landscape and on the open Duo • Dark theme throughout; Reduce Motion honoured everywhere Kapi moves • 10 languages YOURS ALONE No account and no sign-in. Your ideas stay on your device. Questions or a hello: hello@kobako.app Terms of Use: https://kobako.app/terms
