Hi everyone,

A huge welcome to the official Korq Community! We're incredibly excited to have you here as we embark on this journey together.

Korq Planner was born from a simple, yet powerful idea: achieving more with less. In a world often filled with digital clutter and overwhelming complexity, we wanted to create a task and goal management tool that champions focus, clarity, and effectiveness. Our inspiration comes partly from the Japanese kanji 効 (kō), representing efficiency and benefit – values we strive to embed directly into the app's design and functionality.

Our Core Philosophy:

We believe that true productivity isn't about juggling endless features or spending hours customizing an app. It's about:

  1. Intentional Prioritization: Easily distinguishing between what's urgent and what's important (like our Eisenhower Matrix approach) so you can allocate your energy wisely.
  2. Minimalist Design: Reducing cognitive load with a clean, intuitive interface that gets out of your way and lets you concentrate on your tasks.
  3. Reliability & Trust: Ensuring your plans are supported by dependable features like our enhanced reminder system and a commitment to local-first, secure data storage. Your privacy is paramount.
  4. Sustainable Achievement: Helping you not only manage daily tasks but also connect them to your larger goals, fostering a sense of progress and purpose.

What Makes Korq Different?

We're intentionally building Korq to be different from many other tools. We prioritize:

  • Execution over endless tweaking: We want you doing things, not just managing them.
  • Simplicity over feature bloat: Every feature must earn its place and contribute to core effectiveness.
  • Privacy by design: Your data belongs to you, stored securely on your device by default.

Building Together - Join the Beta!

This community is your space. We see it as essential to Korq's development. Korq is currently in active development and closed beta testing. We're working hard on refining the core features and ensuring a stable, effective experience.

We want to hear about your experiences, your challenges, your successes, and your ideas, especially from our beta testers!

  • How is Korq helping you focus?
  • What features would genuinely enhance your workflow?
  • How can we make Korq even more effective for you?

Your feedback, discussions, and insights will be invaluable as we continue to refine Korq, implement new ideas (like the recent improvements to reminders, themes, task sharing, and import capabilities), and strive to make a positive impact on how people manage their time and achieve their goals.

Want to join the beta? Anyone interested can join this group and start testing here.

Thank you for joining us. We're thrilled to have you as part of the Korq community and look forward to building something truly effective, together!

Best,

The Korq Team
