For people with too many open loops
Contour turns your projects, tasks and notes into one living map. Today's work stays sharp. Everything else waits quietly, exactly where you left it.
Free while in early access · then $9.99/month · cancel anytime
Every list shows every item at the same volume, so a someday-idea shouts as loudly as today's deadline. Archiving shuts it up — and loses the thread. Contour adds the state in between: resting. Still on the map, still connected, just quiet until you want it back.
Three focal planes, like a camera. Sharp is for now. A step back is for soon. Behind glass is for someday — present, connected, silent. Drag a card between the planes and watch what your map would feel like.

Your projects already know which client they belong to — that's a relation, sitting in your database. Most tools render it as a chip that teleports you somewhere else. Contour draws it as a thread you follow with your eyes. And the relation is only one view of the model: the same work is a table, a map, columns you drag by status, or the schema underneath. One model, four ways to see it:
Four facts, four chips. Every relation is a door — and every door takes you away from what you were doing.
The founder's own map — client work, product bets, loose ends — seen from all the way up. From this height you don't read tasks. You read the shape: where work clusters, what connects, what went quiet.
Past the last cluster, Contour resolves your whole life into areas — work, health, relationships — each scored by the realms inside it. One glance answers the question no task list can: where is my attention actually going?

No account, no cloud, no feed — Contour opens on your Mac and the map is yours. Free while it's in early access, and honest about what it costs after.
Everything is in it — every view, every update, the day it ships. And your map is a file on your disk, not a row in someone's database: it stays yours whether you're paying or not. Stop the subscription and your work is still sitting there, still readable, still yours.
Early access is free while it earns the price. Nothing to enter now, nothing to cancel.
