mirv vs Corteks

mirv is a fast, local-first task & note app that keeps the best ideas from tools like TickTick — quick capture, lists, Kanban boards, multilevel subtasks, lightweight notes — and fixes the parts that get in your way. No clutter, no lock-in, no account you can't leave. YOU OWN YOUR DATA One database is the single source of truth, and a full JSON export/import is built in. Take everything with you whenever you want — there's no proprietary format and nothing held hostage. That's the whole point of "local-first." A REAL DASHBOARD, NOT A TO-DO PILE Open mirv and see your day at a glance: Today, Overdue, Next actions, Open and Completed counts, Work by list, Stuck projects, and a 14-day completion trend. It's the home screen a task app should have always had — shipped from day one, not bolted on later. FIRST-CLASS SUBTASKS Every task and subtask is the same kind of thing. A subtask can do everything a top-level task can — due dates, priorities, notes, its own subtasks — nest as deep as the work actually goes. Move a task and its whole subtree comes with it. FLEXIBLE KANBAN Boards are a view over your tasks, never a separate copy you have to maintain. Flip any list between List and Board with one tap. Group the board by status, by list, or by status with per-list swimlanes — same data, the angle you need right now. Drag cards to update status; nothing gets out of sync. NOTES THAT CONNECT Write rich Markdown notes and link tasks and notes together with [[wikilinks]]. Every note shows what links back to it, so your plans, docs and tasks form one connected workspace instead of scattered islands. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU REACH FOR • Lists and nested folders to organize projects • Due dates, priorities, "next action" flags and context tags • Fast full-text search across tasks and notes • Today / Overdue / Next / Waiting smart views • Light and dark themes, tuned for contrast and accessibility • Keyboard-friendly, screen-reader-friendly, respects reduced-motion • Works great on phone, tablet and desktop BUILT FOR FOCUS mirv is deliberately quiet. No streak-shaming, no upsell popups, no notifications you didn't ask for. Capture a thought in seconds, see exactly what needs doing, and get on with your day. AGENT-READY mirv exposes the same operations to AI assistants through a clean, scoped integration — so you can run a daily review, pull next actions, or summarize your dashboard from the tools you already use. Private by design. Portable by default. Fast because it has to be. Download mirv and make your task list yours again. ——— mirv Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.

Corteks is where you put a thought so you can stop holding it. Speak it, type it, or snap a photo. That is the whole job. Corteks reads what you captured, titles it, files it, and connects it to everything you have thought before. WHAT IT DOES WITH YOUR THINKING Reads every capture. A title, a one-line summary, what it is about, and the older thoughts it genuinely connects to. You never file anything yourself. Builds a graph, not a folder tree. Your thoughts cluster by what they are actually about, and you start seeing that you have been circling something for weeks. Writes your week, every Sunday. Not a step count. What you thought about, what changed, and what you keep returning to. Answers questions about your own mind. Chat is grounded in what you captured, so it points at your own words instead of inventing advice. Holds what you are working toward. Write down your objectives, focus three at a time, and Corteks reads those three closely. Three, because attention does not divide well. WHAT IT IS NOT No feed. No streaks. No badges. Nothing is public and nothing is shared, so there is nobody to perform for. It never tells you that you are behind. An objective that has gone quiet is reported as a fact, never as a failing. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE YOURS Everything is private to your account. It is used to build what the app shows you and nothing else: your graph, your readings, your weekly story, and the answers you get in chat. Export everything to your email whenever you like, in a readable file and as JSON. Delete your account and it all goes with it. CORTEKS PRO Start with a free trial. No card, and nothing is charged when you sign up. Pro covers capturing without limits, having every capture read and connected, your weekly reading, readings on your three focused objectives, and chat. After the trial, everything you already captured stays readable forever. Browsing, search, the graph, past readings and export never stop working. Corteks Pro is $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms: https://corteks.app/terms Privacy: https://corteks.app/privacy-policy
