🎲 decide for me
sound familiar?
"I have a dozen things I care about β€” and on the days I could do any of them, I freeze and do none."
Skein isn't another to-do list that guilt-trips you. It holds all your interests in one gentle place, learns what you've been feeding and neglecting, and removes the hardest part β€” choosing β€” so you can just begin.
How it works
four steps, about a minute.
1
Brain-dump
Type a sentence β€” "learn Japanese, get fit, ship my game." Skein splits it into nodes.
2
It groups itself
Related interests cluster into colored themes automatically β€” or drag your own groups.
3
Decide for me
Overwhelmed? Skein weighs energy, priority & neglect and picks one tiny next step.
4
Focus & log
Start a focus session, then it logs itself β€” building streaks and your progress.
Everything in one calm place
See how it all connects
Colored, self-organizing groups and hand-drawn links reveal where two interests feed each other β€” no more mental tabs.

The "just tell me" button
A weighted shuffle or three quick filters (time Β· energy Β· mood) lands you on one thing β€” with a tiny next step and a why-now.

15 min Β· low energy
Watch progress build
Each interest gets a goal, streaks, weekly hours and a momentum trend β€” so neglect is visible and wins feel real.
Then actually do it
"Start this" opens a focus timer sized to your energy. Finish, and the session logs itself and bumps your streak.

Questions
Isn't this just another to-do app?
No. Skein isn't about clearing tasks β€” it's about holding your many interests without guilt and helping you choose one when you're stuck. No overdue-red, no backlog.
How does "decide for me" actually choose?
It weighs how much energy each interest takes, the priority you set, and how long you've neglected it β€” then surfaces one, with a tiny next step. Not feeling it? "Not today" re-rolls.
Is my data private?
Your canvas lives in your browser. It's your quiet space β€” no feed, no sharing, nothing public.
Do I need to fill everything in?
Nope. Drop one thought or a whole tangle. Goals, streaks and next steps are optional β€” Skein can even suggest a step with AI when you're blank.
Quiet the noise. Weave your interests.
Your first map takes about a minute. No setup required.
