Principles

  1. 001

    Local-first, always

    Your tasks live on your device as plain text. Open them in any editor. Back them up however you want. iCloud sync is available but never required.

  2. 002

    Keyboard-driven workflow

    Every action maps to a shortcut. Create, reorganize, search, and complete tasks without reaching for a mouse. The command palette puts everything three keystrokes away.

  3. 003

    No artificial urgency

    No red badges. No guilt nudges. No AI reordering your list. You set the priority, you decide the order, you mark it done. The app works for you, not the other way around.

  4. 004

    Open format, no lock-in

    Tasks are stored in a human-readable plain text format. You can parse them, script them, grep them. If Rivet disappears tomorrow, your data is still right there in your Documents folder.
