A quieter workspace

Everything you need. Nothing in the way.

Next keeps the work ahead tactile and legible. Your tasks live in files you control, your schedule stays visible, and every AI proposal waits for approval.

To-do

See every project clearly.

Organize work by project, capture tasks quickly, and keep due dates close without turning your workspace into a dashboard.

  • Project grouping and accent colors
  • Quick capture and inline task editing
  • Plain Markdown files you can open anywhere

  • Local task reminders

Momentum

Notice the day taking shape.

Use a simple readout of task velocity, focus time, and today's plan to understand your momentum without surveillance or noisy charts.

  • On-device progress metrics
  • Today's schedule at a glance
  • No developer-operated analytics

AI planning

Start with a thought. Review the plan.

Ask Next to plan a week or break down a project. You review every task and schedule proposal before anything is written to your workspace.

Designed around your data, not a platform.

Next uses the folder you choose as its source of truth. It does not require an account, run ads, or use developer-operated analytics. Cloud AI is optional and only runs when you explicitly select a provider.
