Nothing Left
A minimalistic, privacy-first task manager. No accounts, no clutter, no servers. Just write, strike, and be done.
The Idea
Most task managers are built to keep you inside them — notifications, syncing, accounts, dashboards, streaks. They turn the act of getting things done into a product you consume.
Nothing Left is the opposite. It exists to get out of your way.
The premise is simple: you have things to do. You write them down. You do them. You strike them off. That’s it. No account required. No data leaves your device. When you’re done, there’s nothing left.
What It Does
- Write — a clean, distraction-free input. No formatting, no labels, no categories unless you want them.
- Strike — cross off what’s done. The visual satisfaction of the strikethrough is the only feedback loop you need.
- Local-only — everything lives on your device. No servers, no sync, no account. Your tasks are yours.
- Privacy-first — zero data sent anywhere. What you’re working on is none of our business.
The Build
The constraint was the product. Every feature request I received during development was a question: does this make it simpler, or does it make it bigger?
Most feature requests made it bigger. They were declined.
The hardest part wasn’t building it — it was resisting the urge to add. Simplicity isn’t a default state. It’s a discipline.
Why It Exists
There’s a category of person who has tried every productivity app and found themselves spending more time managing their task system than doing the tasks. This is for them.
There’s also a category of person who distrusts cloud software with their private thoughts and plans. This is for them too.
Turns out those two categories overlap almost completely.
