I just launched my first solo project: Productivie, a productivity app where you can drag & drop different tools (like Pomodoro timers, to-do lists, focus widgets, and more) to build your own personal workflow.
Most productivity apps felt too rigid for me — so I built something flexible, minimal, and visual. It’s still in early stages, but I’d love feedback from you all! 🙌
Love the drag & drop approach! The rigidity of most productivity apps is such a real problem - everyone's brain works differently, so why should we all use the same layout. Such an interesting take on productivity.
The visual customization idea is smart too. I'm curious - what made you realize that flexibility was the missing piece? Was it your own frustration with existing tools, or did you notice this pattern with others?
Really interested to see how people end up organizing their dashboards. I bet you'll discover some workflow patterns you never expected. On a platform like this, would love to have a feature like "discover" where people can share their layouts and folks can like or use their layouts - could create some really interesting community workflows!
Congrats on shipping! Always exciting to get that first solo project out there. 🎉
This is so cool! The "rigid vs. flexible" problem is something I've felt with almost every productivity app I've tried. The drag-and-drop dashboard approach is a brilliant solution.
I'm curious, do you have plans to allow users to save different workflow "templates"? I could see myself having a "Deep Work" layout and a separate "Daily Planning" layout.
Awesome work on this, congrats on the launch!
Thank you so much — your feedback truly motivated me, and I’ve taken notes! I’ll definitely be adding this feature in the future.
Being able to save and switch between custom workflow templates like “Deep Work” and “Daily Planning” is exactly the kind of flexibility I want Productivie to offer. My goal is to let users build a space that adapts to them, not the other way around.
I’m currently working on core improvements and stability, but template support is definitely on the roadmap now.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts — it helps a lot!
If you have any other ideas or even pain points you’ve experienced with other tools, I’d love to hear them!
