THE MODEL

Two buckets. Two rhythms.

Most apps drown you in lists, labels, and projects. Pragmat keeps four ideas — and trusts you with the rest.

Today & Future

⌘T⌘2

Two buckets for everything open. What you're doing now, and what's waiting. Nothing in between to manage.

Burst

⌘B

A finite, focused project you actually complete. A launch, a trip, a fix. It ends — and that feels good.

Arc

⌘A

An ongoing area of life that never finishes — health, reading, work. You tend it; you don't close it.

Logbook & Bin

Done to-dos slide into the Logbook; trashed ones rest in the Bin. Your lists stay about what's next.

SHORTCUTS

Keyboard-first, mouse-optional.

Every core action has a key. Capture a thought, finish it, and move on without breaking flow.

WHY PRAGMAT

Small on purpose.

Pragmat does a few things and gets out of your way. That restraint is the feature.

Native & fast

A Tauri shell over a tiny Rust core. It opens instantly and stays out of the way — no Electron heft.

Local-first

Everything lives in a local SQLite file on your machine. No account, no cloud, no sync you didn't ask for.

Keyboard-first

Create, complete, and move between views without lifting your hands. The mouse is optional.

Dates that respect you

Schedule to-dos for a day, see them gather in Future, and set per-task deadlines when something truly has one.

Quietly designed

A translucent vibrancy sidebar, a sliding selection pill, staggered list animations. Calm, not flashy.

Open source

Free, auditable, and yours to build on. Read every line, file an issue, send a patch.

Bring some momentum to your desktop.
