No account, on purpose
There’s no sign-up because there’s nothing to sign up for. Your tasks, piles, and menu live in this browser. Nobody can read them, including me.
The trade
Local storage means no sync between devices, and clearing your browser data clears your tools. Every tool has an export button for exactly this reason.
The one exception
Task Breaker sends the text of your task to an AI model to get steps back, and doesn’t keep it. Everything else runs entirely on your device.
Questions
Which one should I start with?
Whichever matches what’s happening right now. If you’re stuck on one specific thing, Task Breaker. If everything feels equally urgent, Three-Pile. If you’ve crashed, Crisis Protocol. If you’re about to lose an evening to your phone, Dopamine Menu.
Do they work on a phone?
Yes, all four. Add the site to your home screen and it opens like an app. Crisis Protocol keeps working with no signal once the page has loaded.
Is there a paid version?
No. There’s nothing to upgrade to and no feature held back. The book is the paid thing, and it’s optional.
Want the whole system, not just the tools?
The Starter Kit is free: Chapter 1, the Emergency Restart Protocol, the Three-Pile System, and the worksheets.
