About Kagelin
Kagelin is a local-first, privacy-focused personal workspace designed for deep work. It unifies Tasks, Focus Sessions, Habit Tracking, and Calendar into a single, distraction-free environment built on the principle:
"Work quietly. Own everything."
Unlike conventional productivity suites that demand your email upfront, lock data behind proprietary clouds, and rely on artificial gamification traps, Kagelin gives you immediate utility with zero friction, full offline capability, and complete sovereignty over your data.
Key Highlights
- Instant & Zero-Friction Guest Mode
- No Account Required: Open the app and start working immediately. Full task, habit, timer, and calendar functionality runs locally on your device in Guest Mode.
- Offline-First PWA: Installable on Desktop, Android, and iOS. Works seamlessly with or without an active internet connection via service worker caching.
- Power-User Workflow & Keyboard Efficiency
- Command Palette (`Cmd/Ctrl + K`): Instant fuzzy search and navigation across tasks, habits, and calendar events.
- Vim-Inspired Keybindings: Navigate and manipulate tasks seamlessly with keyboard shortcuts (`gg`/`G` for top/bottom, `yy` to yank, `p` to paste, `u` to undo).
- Flexible Task Management: Switch between Kanban Board and List views with split-pane master-detail views, multi-level projects, group/filter by priority or due dates, markdown task notes, and both strict and flexible recurring tasks.
- Thoughtful Focus & Consistency (No Gimmicks)
- Connected Focus Timer: Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Pomodoro engine with cross-device timer handoff—pause a session on your laptop and it reflects instantly on your phone with server-anchored precision.
- Frequency-Aware Habit Tracking: Replaces punitive streak-loss mechanics with realistic habit modeling. Supports non-daily routines (e.g., 3×/week) without penalizing off-days, paired with weighted consistency scores (Score/Strength) that decay gracefully rather than resetting on a single missed day.
- Rich Activity Heatmaps: Visualize daily focus minutes and habit completions over time.
- Direct Import: Native import support for *Loop Habit Tracker (uhabits)* `.db` files and more such imports planned.
- Integrated Multi-View Calendar
- Flexible Views: Month, desktop 4-day, mobile week view, and rolling 3-day view.
- Direct Calendar Sync: On-demand sync with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook(WIP) using direct client-side OAuth API calls.
- Universal Portability: Standard RFC 5545 `.ics` import and export.
- Genuine Data Ownership & Privacy
- Self-Hosted WebDAV Backups: Back up your entire dataset directly to your own private server (Nextcloud, Synology, etc.) at any tier with zero middleman.
- Encrypted Backups & Full Portability: Export your entire database as an encrypted ZIP file or wipe your data with one click.
- Privacy by Default: Telemetry is strictly opt-in, off by default and is only for milestones. Zero tracking of personal information, task titles, or notes.
- Free & Open Source: Licensed under AGPL-3.0.
