SpacebarX
A fast, private outliner designed keyboard-first and local-first, for turning ideas into plans and managing tasks.
About SpacebarX
SpacebarX is a fast, private outliner built for workflows that start from an idea. Capture an idea, turn it into a plan, and keep every task next to the context that explains it. Your workspace lives on your device, works offline, and syncs through your own Google Drive or Dropbox account; your data never passes through SpacebarX's servers. Core operations are keyboard-first with remappable shortcuts, and it stays responsive even with large outlines.
