Rationale
Lightpad's main feature is Timeflow – the spatial calendar view. It lays out time units (days, hours, weeks, months) in space, so you can perceive time as a plain old physical dimension. Which it arguably is. Same view works for different time units, contrary to other calendar apps. So, it's more consistent and easier for your mind to grasp. Read more below about personalised color-schemes, tags, notes and Google Calendar integration.
Our ambition is make Lightpad a framework for thought, giving you more tools to understand and plan your mental and social environment.

Energy and motivation
Unleash the true potential of your brain.
Lightpad helps you to focus, to envision the bigger picture.
From vision comes energy and motivation.
And that yields the fruit.
Dopamine looping. Social apps use notifications to trigger dopamine hits and tie you to their ad-selling platform. We, in turn, give that lever back to you. We develop the UX of Lightpad in such a way that dopamine hits help you to stay focused on your goal.
We aim for a symbiotic relationship – we help you achieve your goals and you just send us a few bucks from time to time.
Organised and ColorfulBecause it's for humans!
Lightpad uses tags to organize content. Each tag can have its own color scheme allowing you to create distinct environments for better mood and memory. See scholarly articles on cognitive anchoring.

Compared to popular writing tools, Lightpad's focus mode offers five flavors, three of which play with the background gradient.
