Features

Everything at a glance,
every time you open a tab

Projects overview

Cards with status badges (Active / Paused / Done), open TODO count, and last-modified time. Filter by status with one click.

Open TODOs

All unchecked - [ ] items across your projects, grouped by project. Check them off inline or jump straight to the file.

Journal heatmap

GitHub-style activity grid of the last 52 weeks. Know at a glance how consistent your journaling has been.

Stats bar

Active projects, open TODOs, journal entries this week, and your current streak — always visible at the top.

Mini graph

Force-directed graph of links between your project files. Drag, zoom, pan, and double-click to reset.

Backlinks panel

The 7 most linked files in your projects folder — instantly see which notes are your most referenced hubs.

Quick actions

Configurable one-click buttons to create new files from templates. Label, template path, and filename prefix are all customizable.

Fully configurable

Choose which sections are visible, configure folder paths, and toggle whether the cockpit opens on every new tab.
