About

Phaseboard

Features
Read full description

For the moments when products, prototypes, side projects, and late-night ideas are all alive at once. Phaseboard is a quiet, beautiful place to keep them, with each one's current stage, progress, and the one thing to do next. Every project breaks down the same way. From outermost to innermost: project, stage, task, subtask. Statuses roll up automatically as you check things off, so the dashboard always shows which projects deserve your time today. Projects now support deadlines, with a countdown on Home and on the project page. The Calendar page lists every deadline and task due date by month. Three new free widgets show the calendar and upcoming deadlines on the Home Screen. Two styles are available: Quiet, with soft lines and plenty of room, and Classic, the original engineering-manual look. Switch between them any time from the side menu. Phaseboard is built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your projects sync privately through your own iCloud, with full offline support. Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen views, and a Mac menu bar tile keep what you're working on always in sight. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

About

Mhisper

Read full description

Mhisper is a quieter place to think. Your thoughts become bubbles — softly lit, gently drifting on a starfield — alive until you're ready for them. No streaks. No guilt. No inbox pretending to be a mind. Just a calm sky where what you're thinking becomes something you can see. CATCH IT • Type a thought, or speak it — on-device dictation turns your voice into a bubble before the idea fades • Every thought wears a colour. Choose yours, or pick Rainbow and let each new thought arrive in its own • Made for the shower sentence, the walk-home idea, the 2am worry that just needs somewhere to land BUILD IT • Step inside any thought — it opens into a full note built from blocks: clean Markdown or richly styled Fine Text • Add tasks with deadlines and gentle reminders, so remembering isn't your job anymore • Add tasks and check them out from in the note body itself. • Attach images and files where they belong • Connect your notes with one another using threads , and mention other notes in the note body to easily click to navigate between connected notes. SEE IT • Zones gather related thoughts into glowing regions of the sky • Threads draw quiet lines between ideas that belong together • Clusters fold a whole project into a single constellation — step in, step out • Search by word or colour when you need one thought fast SHARE IT • Presenter mode turns a note into a slow, beautiful reading — like you're speaking to the reader, one passage at a time • Share a note with a link, or open a Shared Space where a family, a book club, or a team keeps one sky together KEEP IT • Your notes are your intellectual property. Mhisper never reads, sells, or trains anything on them — they exist for you and no one else • Save your whole canvas as an encrypted memory file only you can open • Your sky follows you between iPhone and the web at mhisper.app For the racing mind that thinks in every direction. For writers watching scenes find their shape. For students turning reading into understanding. For families keeping memories where the grandkids can wander through them. Mhisper is free. Open it, Mhisper a thought, and watch it land.
