Build your productivity space with custom blocks such as lists, calendars, boards, notes, and journals. Free, and dark mode included!



Please make it self-hostable. My organization doesn't allow putting work related things on cloud.


Anytype may be your friend. It is self-hostable, and can do much of (though not all of) what is seen here.


Man, this is something that I really wish was open source. I've been looking for something like this for a while, but having it on someone else's servers just isn't really something I can handle


Sorry to hear this concern! Forgot to add on the landing page, but everything in this app is actually encrypted using AES-256-CBC, so it should be very secure to track tasks on this.


This project started as a side project to create an app that blends the best features from Google Calendar, Notion, and Todoist together. The best thing is, such a passionate project has now turned into my primary task management app. I have spaces for my side projects, work, chores, and goals I want to achieve in the long run. I now track more than 400 tasks on Inko, which are organized into these four spaces. It really keeps me going and the sense of achievement is insane.

Would really love it if you could check out the app and give it a try!


Are you sure that you can use "Lego"? Isn't that word a trademark or something? "Building blocks" should suffice to convey the meaning without any legal problems.


I think if you were to comply with all the branding guidelines, you would need to say something along the lines of“Blocks are like LEGO™ bricks…”.

Since there’s little chance of the product getting confused with official LEGO products, you’re probably okay… though IANAL.


Eh, I clicked on it wondering what kind of physical lego-compatible bricks they were offering, so I'm not so sure.


Kind of off topic, but seeing “Join Discord” in the main nav for this product makes me sad.

Discord truly is the least efficient and enjoyable way to engage around new products, yet many founders are doing it because it’s what the other cool kids are doing.

Who has the time to troll through some random product’s Discord server? I’ll never understand this trend. Discord is awesome for voice chatting while gaming, but terrible for building communities around products.


What do you suggest as an alternative? Thinking about this same thing for a project.


Unable to join the waitlist. I am not able to proceed after selecting my google account.


That's weird, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Would you be willing to join the discord and I can further help you with it? Happy that you tried it out though hahaha


Looks like it has been resolved now. Was able to join the waitlist. Thanks for keeping an eye out!


Is it open source?


This is currently not open sourced, although I am looking into self hosting options


Self-hosting would definitely be very interesting.


What about data export? Is it easy to get out?
