Before vs after

Most productivity tools assume “plan first, then do.” But that's not how action-oriented people work.

Before Znift

  • •End of day: “What did I even do today?”
  • •Standup: Scramble to remember what you did vs. what slipped
  • •Forms, dropdowns, date pickers just to log one task
  • •“When did I do that?” No way to search your history

The journey to Znift

How we built the tool we always wanted.

1

We tried the "do-everything" apps

Powerful, sure. But bloated. We needed a simple task logger, not a database-wiki-docs-project-management Swiss army knife. Setup took hours. Daily logging felt like overhead.

2

We tried the built-in tools

Too basic. No global shortcuts. No quick capture. Open the app, navigate, click, type, save. Every. Single. Time. Our flow was constantly interrupted.

3

We tried plain text notes

Flexible, but no structure. Tasks got lost in walls of text. No way to see streaks, track patterns, or export standups. Just chaos we created ourselves.

4

So we built Znift

Alt+L from anywhere. Log in 2 seconds. Track streaks. Export standups. Sync to calendar. Built for people who do first and plan later.
