📓 I've kept a small paper notebook for over a year now — one page a day, nothing fancy. Somewhere in there it started borrowing from books I kept coming back to: Getting Things Done's habit of capturing everything, Tiny Habits' obsession with the smallest possible step, The 5 Second Rule's push past hesitation, bullet journaling's quick shorthand for marking what moved and what didn't. No app I tried ever matched how that notebook actually felt to use, so I built one.
🐸 Tao Toad opens the day with a line worth sitting with instead of a backlog, keeps the Notebook to today only (nothing overdue, nothing carried in shame — just a small mark showing what traveled with you), and gives everything else a Desk to wait on. Soft Paper colors, serif type, hand-drawn line icons. Built solo, brand to interaction details.

Merging GTD and Tiny Habits into a serene, distraction free space is such a thoughtful approach. Replacing a looming task mountain with a meaningful prompt and a dedicated "Desk" gives task management the calm energy it actually needs!

Thanks. This approach has really helped me take the stress out of day to day tasks and it allows me to get them out of my head and stored somewhere.
