Space Command

Your projects already live in plain text. Space Command reads your notes, plans, and TODO lists, then shows you the one thing to do next.

A Mac sidebar and menu bar glance over the folders you already keep: code repos, notes, and blogs. There's no new app to move into and no database to feed. Your files stay yours, and they stay the source of truth.

Connect your projects Point it at ~/projects and your notes. It finds repos, vaults, and Hugo sites, and suggests the rest. A tag in a daily note links to the repo with the same name, so an idea captured anywhere lands with its project. #space-command → warped-space-command
See plans and TODOs together PLAN.md phases, TODO.md, BUGS.md, and tagged lines from your notes, gathered per project with visible progress. Check things off from the sidebar. The change is written to the file, carefully, and can be undone. Phase 1 · Scaffold3 / 7
Focus Mark one thing #focus and it leads every view. Priorities sort the rest, snooze hides what can wait, and project health quietly flags the README you forgot to update. Scaffold the Xcode project

And keep the blog moving Drafts and recent posts for every Hugo site, new posts from your archetypes, and Publish without opening a terminal.

Smart, but never presumptuous. It notices and suggests, and nothing is written, linked, or promoted without your say.

UX sketch

First pass, pulled from the reference images. Warm charcoal palette with a derived light mode, native SF type (no serif), and a single dockable panel that mixes the Obsidian layout with the card-and-focus feel of the "closer overall" reference.
