Every list you keep.
One quiet window.

Pages for the parts of your life, categories you name yourself, tasks underneath.

The Lanes window: pages in the sidebar, categories and tasks on the page.
Three levels, and that is all

Most apps make you build a system before you are allowed to write anything down.

Lanes asks for a name. Make a page, name a couple of categories, start typing. There is no deeper nesting to discover later.

01
Pages

One for each part of your life, with an icon you pick.

02
Categories

Whatever the page needs. Rename, reorder, drag between them.

03
Tasks

A line of text. A note and a date if it helps, nothing if it doesn't.

Make a page. Name a category. Start typing.

First launch takes one extra step. Drag Lanes into Applications and open it. macOS will refuse — press Done, not Move to Trash. Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and press Open Anyway. Once, then never again.

This happens to every app not signed with a paid Apple certificate — it says nothing about what the app does. If you prefer the terminal, one line does the same: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Lanes.app
