ctrl
A local-first personal dashboard, backed by plain Markdown.
A dashboard for the things that would otherwise be scattered across four apps: a daily report feed, an open task list, a frictionless inbox, and freeform notes per topic.
Everything lives as plain Markdown files on disk. No database, no sync service, nothing that stops working if a company does. The files are readable and editable without ctrl running at all, which is the point.
A floating capture bar routes input by prefix — nothing goes to the inbox, a task prefix to the open list, a note prefix appends to notes — so capturing something never means deciding where it goes first.
