Organize Life Into Patterns
Kilim is a personal productivity system designed to turn loose commitments into clear patterns, guided focus sessions, and a living picture of where your time really goes.
The Kilim Philosophy
In a world of scattered lists and endless noise, Kilim helps you weave a deliberate flow. It moves beyond simple task management by connecting individual actions to recurring routines and larger life patterns.
Whether you're managing professional projects, personal growth, or daily household tasks, Kilim provides the structure to see the shape of your attention and ensure you're prioritizing the next right thing.
Main Features
Kilim is built on four core pillars that work together to create a cohesive productivity rhythm.
Patterns
Group related work into meaningful areas of life. Patterns allow you to see the "texture" of your week—whether you're spending your energy on Craft, Health, Work, or Reflection. Threads belong to patterns, giving every task a home and a context.
Routines
Weave recurring sets of tasks into your day. Routines handle the things that happen over and over, from your morning reset to weekly reviews. Kilim tracks your consistency with streaks and frequency targets, ensuring your habits remain strong.
Sessions
Commit to progress in bounded, intentional blocks of time. When you start a focus session, Kilim helps you stay on track, recording exactly how much time you've dedicated to a specific thread. It's focus without the friction of complex time tracking.
Kilim
See the living picture of your time. Instead of a dead spreadsheet, Kilim provides an animated canvas showing how your threads and patterns have evolved over time. Scrub through your history to understand your momentum and identify where your focus shifted.
Screens Guide
Each screen in Kilim is optimized for a specific part of your productivity workflow.
Next
Your primary navigation hub. Kilim analyzes your active routines and patterns to recommend the Next right thing to work on. It highlights your primary task and surfaces secondary options, keeping you focused on the current priority without losing sight of the horizon.
Threads
The home for all your tasks. Group threads by pattern to see your commitments clearly, or use manual reordering to plan your day. From here, you can quickly start sessions, snooze tasks for later, or capture new ideas as they come.
Thread Detail
Deep dive into a single task. Edit titles and notes, assign importance and priority, estimate how long the work will take, and schedule it for a specific time. View the full activity history of a thread to see every session and status change.
Routines & Routine Detail
Manage your recurring rhythms. Set active days (e.g., Weekdays only) and target frequencies. The detail view lets you manage exactly which threads are part of the routine and track your performance over time.
Patterns & Pattern Detail
Organize your work into high-level domains. Customize each pattern with unique colors and icons. See stats on how many threads are active or completed within each area of your life.
Kilim (Canvas & Eisenhower)
Two powerful ways to view your workload:
- Kilim Canvas: An interactive, animated map of your attention over time.
- Eisenhower Matrix: A 2x2 grid that organizes pending tasks by Importance and Urgency. Drag-and-drop threads to reprioritize them instantly.
AI Capabilities: Kilim Assist
Kilim integrates advanced AI to act as a partner in your productivity, not just a tool.
Proactive Suggestions
Kilim doesn't wait for you to ask. It scans your current threads and routines to offer smart suggestions:
- Split Thread: Identifies complex tasks and suggests breaking them down.
- Next Thread: Predicts the logical next step in a sequence.
- Extract Pattern: Notices related tasks and suggests creating a new Pattern to house them.
Progress Summaries
Receive weekly and daily reflective summaries. Kilim's AI synthesizes your activity—completed threads, focus time, and routine streaks—into an encouraging, specific report that helps you celebrate wins and identify areas for improvement.
Intelligent Memory
The "Ask Kilim" assistant remembers your long-term goals and constraints. If you tell Kilim you only work out on weekends, it will incorporate that knowledge into its future suggestions and plans.
Natural Language Planning
Use voice or text to talk through complex projects. Kilim can create threads, assign them to patterns, and build out routines directly from your conversation, acting as a collaborative architect for your day.
