A softer place for unfinished work

Most people have had the experience of having a whole to do app, with labels and reminders and systems that work but eventually get too heavy until one day they’re forced to resort to a sticky note somewhere.

The app I kept thinking about was something that mirrored the natural flow of life. Forced you to wipe the slate clean each day and choose again: what actually matters for today.

Tiny Bites is an experiment with limits — you can’t change yesterday, and you can only plan a bit for tomorrow. Today is what matters.

Tiny Bites local Mac app showing one active task with a timer

There’s a web version you can access, but also a local Mac app I’ve been experimenting with myself. With the local app, I’m currently playing with features like only displaying the single next task, persistently at the top of your screen, as well as a timer.
