Kairos

Seize the moment. Get things done.

Kairos is for people whose time isn't fully their own (students, employees, or anyone juggling shifting commitments) who need to decide how they spend their time before it's decided for them.

Kairos is a time-centric productivity app that helps you turn intentions into action. Most tools let tasks float in a backlog. Kairos doesn't. It asks one thing of you: decide when and where the work happens. That constraint is the whole point. A task you've placed in your day is a commitment; a task you haven't is just a wish.

Your day is built from time blocks, and work lives as tasks inside them. A real, complete day is stored in markdown:

- 09:30 - 11:00 Deep Work [Kairos]
    - [ ] Rework the block parser
    - [ ] Fix timeline scroll perf
- 11:00 - 12:30 Study [D:School]
    - [ ] Review linear algebra for the midterm
- [x] 13:00 - 14:00 Swim [Fitness]

Your notes remain the source of truth, and they stay readable with or without Kairos.

The key philosophy:

• Time belongs to blocks; work belongs to tasks. A block owns a span of your day. Tasks inside it are what you're actually doing. This split is why Kairos can tell you where your hours went and what's left to do, without the two ever getting tangled.
• Association is optional context, not structure. A task can belong to a project or a domain, but it never has to. Projects group related work; domains map to the broader areas of your life. They're lenses for seeing your tasks, not folders you're forced to file into before you can act.
• Everything is derived. All pages and views are views computed from your daily notes. You plan in one place, and Kairos connects it all together.
