Four snippet types

List, Note, Image, and Link. Lists get per-item status (unstarted, in-progress, complete, cancelled), notes render Markdown, images upload directly into a snippet, and links auto-fetch a preview of the web page they point to.

The feed

A responsive, multi-column layout. Don;t think of it like a grid - think of it as a stream of consciousness. Drag a snippet to reposition it, drag the bottom edge to resize it, pin it to the top, and collapse it down to just the parts you want to see — name, tags, or creation date.

Tags with color

Attach any number of hashtags to a snippet. Make the color your own. Filter your feed just to tagged items.

Chaining

Attach a snippet to another - the snippet and it falls in to place underneath the first. All the snippets collapse when the parent snippet collapses, and they all move together when the parent is repositioned.

Laundry piles

Create custom views on top of your snippets without removing anything from the main feed. Send a snippet to a pile, and it keeps its own independent collapse state, position, and sort order in that pile. A pile's master list rolls up every list item across every list snippet in it.

Search & filters

Full-text search across snippets, a date picker to jump to everything created on a given day, and a tag filter — all live in the header bar.

Light-up dates

Give a snippet a fixed date or a recurring weekly schedule. When it's due, it lights up in the feed so it actually catches your eye.

Laundry pile webhooks

Every laundry pile can expose a webhook URL. POST to it from anywhere — a script, another app, an automation — and a note snippet appears in that pile.

MCP server

Point an MCP-compatible client (like Claude) at your account and let it read, create, and organize snippets on your behalf: create snippets, tag them, sort them into laundry piles, and manage piles and tags directly.

PDF export

Export any laundry pile as a PDF — a portable, printable snapshot of everything in it.
