Neyro is a calm, intelligent productivity app designed to act as your second brain, organizing tasks, projects, and information so nothing slips through the cracks. It uses the PARA method by Tiago Forte to automatically sort what matters now versus later, reducing mental overload. Instead of pushing you to do more, Neyro helps you think clearly, focus deeply, and move forward with confidence.

This project uses AI

So basically after working a really really long time on this project everything started kind of falling apart, so I simplified a lot of stuff and then kind of restarted the project.
Now it’s a lot cleaner and I can probably publish to the app store soon.
This devlog is a while after I did a ton of work. (like half of it was for nothing)

My goal for this app is to organize your life, and make everything easier in life. I originally made this so that I could be more productive, and kind of visualize everything on a screen. I came up with this idea while talking to my friend about our ideas, and he mentions the book: Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte. We then talked about the PARA method, which stands for projects, areas, resources, and archives.
He tried to do this manually, which is what everyone currently does.
I thought, “That’s a lot of friction, what if I could automate most of this work in an app?”
That’s how we came up with this idea.

So far, I have all the core features implemented, and am experimenting with the app flow. This is probably going to take a while, as the perfect user experience is very difficult.

đź›  MVP Completion!

đź“‹ Objective
The goal for this MVP was to build a functional environment where information doesn’t just go to die. We aimed to create a seamless transition where any captured thought (CODE) has a pre-defined home (PARA), eliminating the “where do I put this?” anxiety that kills productivity.

🏗 Progress & Implementation
I’ve successfully stood up the core pillars of the Neyro ecosystem. The Capture module is now live, featuring a “Quick Entry” widget that dumps all raw data into a temporary Inbox, decoupled from the main PARA hierarchy. This ensures that the flow of ideas isn’t interrupted by administrative filing.

The PARA backbone is fully partitioned. We’ve implemented a relational linking system where Projects are automatically tied to their parent Areas. For the Distill phase, we integrated a Markdown-based editor that supports nested folding, allowing users to collapse raw notes and leave only the “distilled” headers visible. Finally, the Express layer was realized through a “Workspace” view—a clean, distraction-free interface that pulls in all notes from a specific Project folder, serving as a launchpad for final output.

🚀 Next Steps
With the MVP stable, the next iteration will focus on “Smart Suggestions.” We want the system to look at a Captured note and use entity recognition to suggest which Area it belongs to. We are also looking into “Project Archival Automations” to prompt users to move folders once a project deadline has passed.
