kempt for side projects
Ideas at 11 pm. Progress at 7 am.
Work, side project, and home each get an area. Today lines them up each morning. Plain Markdown on your disk, free, no account.
Free forever. No account needed. Your files stay on your disk.
Today every area, one list
Each row is its own .md file. Check one here and status: done is written into that file, so Board, Calendar, and Timeline show it too.

Day job by day. Ship by night.
Follow one builder's Tuesday, scene by scene. The screens are the app itself, on demo data.

Capture without losing your lunch break
Type 'friday ship launch notes p1' between bites. Ten seconds later it is its own Markdown file, dated and prioritized, and lunch goes on.

Tuesday
Client day. The Hana Studio invoice is set for the 25th: they pay net-30, so that is the day it goes out.
Still need a booth time for the School festival, and the side-project launch page is close.
Last night's braindump is already real tasks, each its own file in Today. This note just keeps the context.
11:30 pm
Check it once, it counts everywhere
Tick a task done in any view and Today, Calendar, Board, Timeline, and Project Map update from the same file. The last build task goes down the same way. Lights out.

To do Aug 3
Three lives, set up in ten minutes.
Areas are the lives you run: work, side project, home. Inside the side project, deliverables are projects. New idea, new project. Not a fourth area.
- Quarterly report project
- Website migration project
- meetings/q3-review.md note
- Ship v1 this quarter goal
- Beta launch project
- Landing page project
- Onboarding flow project
- ideas.md note
- Summer trip project
- plumber-quotes.md note
Three areas keep three lives from colliding. Filter any view by project: just the launch.
Your first days
- Make Day job, Side project, and Home, then empty every open loop into them as dated one-liners like 'friday deploy the landing page p1'.
- Start every morning in Today, where all three lives already line up.
- End every night in the daily note, and date the ideas worth keeping before lights out.
AI, on your terms
Turn on the AI and last night's mess becomes this morning's plan.
The embedded Claude Code runs on your Claude login, with no markup from Kempt. Ask it to turn last night's note into dated tasks. Its memory lives in your vault, editable, deletable. Turn it off and everything above still works.

Honest fit
- Phone-first work. Native mobile is landing now: tasks, calendar, and notes on the move. Building
- Handing jobs to your desktop AI from the bus. Dispatch is next: your desktop AI, driven from your phone. Planned
- Comments, roles, shared boards. Kempt is deliberately single-player. A team tool serves better.
Fair questions
I already have an Obsidian vault. Do I have to leave it?
No. Kempt is vault-compatible, so open the same folder in both apps. Obsidian keeps its editor and plugins, and Kempt adds the planning layer. Your files never get locked in.
What happens when I am away from my desk?
The vault is about to come with you. Native iOS and Android apps are landing now: tasks, calendar, and notes on the move. Dispatch follows, sending work to your desktop AI from your phone.
Do I need an AI subscription to use Kempt?
No. Everything works with AI off. If you turn it on, it runs on your own Claude login and Kempt never charges for AI. A Codex provider is in beta.
What does it cost?
The local app is free forever, no account. Sync (beta) is the paid part: end-to-end encrypted, from $5 a month with 1 GB and three months of cloud version history. Local version history stays free.
The midnight ideas were never the problem. Losing them by morning was.
Download Kempt for Windows or macOS: open beta, signed builds, free, no account. Your side project gets its mornings back.
