Frictionless

What did you make?

I made TidyUp, a simple productivity tool for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. It helps users clear their head, choose one small task, and start a short focus timer without needing an account.

What was challenging?

The hardest part was making productivity feel less stressful. I wanted TidyUp to guide users without overwhelming them with another complicated task system.

What are you proud of?

I’m proud that TidyUp is actually usable. Users can capture tasks, choose one next action, run a timer, save distractions for later, and track their progress. I’m also proud of the friendly, playful design and the idea that
starting counts as progress

How can people test it?

Choose a mood, start a reset, add a few loose ends, select one task, and run the 5-minute timer. You can also test the history keyboard shortcuts, local storage, and curated video library.

TidyUp works locally and does not require an account.
