We’ve got the only calendar template — weekly. And, we’d say it’s the best format to organize your life and work. Tweek is a a lightweight planner to maintain your focus and boost productivity week over week.
Such a simple and powerful MVP, I am a paper planner as well, looking forward to trying this as an alternative. Few questions, once you integrate the google calendar, are the tasks assigned time slots? And are you supporting multiple calendars?
@zorlusena thank you. There are no time slots at Tweek, this is one of thing that differ us from others. Right now we support only one calendar import, multiple support is currently in development.
A great, simple app. I have had an on and off relationship with this app - tried it and then dumped it and then back to it. Will stick with it for now.
I've challenged myself to do a write up of at least a single product a day on Product Hunt for the month of September! I did a quick write up of going through Tweek.
Tweek is a lightweight weekly planner application built with simplicity in mind. Tweek seems to embrace simplicity and really bring you back to a time of pen, paper, and a weekly calendar. Built by @kplaude.
I’ve used my fair share of to-do apps. Things, Asana, Todoist, Notion, you name
it, I’ve tried it. I always come back to the most simplistic version of these for my personal to-do’s. Anything too feature dense, and I get lost in the application instead of trying to get things done.
It really feels like Tweek has taken this to the next level. You have a weekly
view where you can add tasks. You can then drag and drop to reorder and move
them to different days or throw them into your Someday list. That’s pretty much it.
This isn’t a bad thing by any means; it really gives you space to simply do the
task instead of getting wrapped up in the process.

@swissmiss Hi Tina,
I know your product and tried to settle it in my workflow a long time ago, but returned back to plain paper. I think we have major differences in product philosophy — our main inspiration was classic paper planner. And we tried to reproduce this in our design, adding the print option so people can use it online and offline. You can check Moleskine and other planners, they all seem to be cognate.
@alexg473 yep, that's right. We really wanted to make it look minimal and not disturbing from your productive workflow. And if you want. you can print it and use for offline use :) Cmd + P or Ctrl+P
Nice stuff, Karl - I see in the screenshots it looks as though you have a native app (or app wrapper) in the works? Is there a way to download that yet – or just a sneak peek?
@mattcoleman I'm afraid not. This is a demo video of a few screens linked to each other to check how it works before it goes to our dev team. After that created Tweekp with minor UI changes from initial designs so we decide to use this GIF in our promo materials.
Not bad, very much like Teux Duex which I liked but haven't used due to crazy price structure and how out of date it is (doesn't work on iPad etc)
However, two things stop me from being able to use this.
1) Why are Saturday and Sunday so small, those are the two days I have the most stuff to manage, weekdays I am at my day job which is managed elsewhere, so the weekend is where I want to put more stuff on. Would like the option to have this as a full day.
2) Would want the option to have additional lists underneath and not just one 'someday' so I can have a list for each project or such. Else i only have scheduled tasks and one catch all. Will keep an eye on this project though, seems the first promising app in some time that might get me away from Trello, which I am not fully happy with.
@smarky you could use my convention, where I place the name of a project first on a task followed by the todo, like 'project x | draft report' or 'jones research | schedule follow up'. Or it could be a tag, which I bet they will be implementing at some point'.
@karlplaude1 love the simplicity of it... Be strong and avoid adding too many features... But it would be great to have tags at least, don't you think 😁
@nkko tags?! oh no 😱... joking here :) we really want to keep it simple and minimal and at this time not planning to add tags or custom task statuses. P.S. we will listen to our users and try to provide the best experience of using Tweek.🦸♂️
@nkko@karlplaude1 I also thought about tags of some sort, but I really love the keep-it-simple approach and the design really got it (so I don't know if there is a true need of tags). Looks loosely based on Ivy Lee's method? IMHO the big challenge will be how to add features without messing up the core of the product. I wonder if there will be any kind of collaboration or at least visibility options that work for teams?
@juan_carlos_jaramillo Agree. @karlplaude1 You don't even need to translate all. Config and help could remain in english, but let translate days, and the very words of the frontpage. That way, in a team, someone plays all, but their teams mates only focus in the to-do features. Another feature... some trigger when task is marked as done something that could be used by Zapier or others or something as simpler sending an email to certain inbox when task is done.
Looks interesting. I was able to sign in with Google, though I couldn't type my email address (on mobile, Android 10 - I'd type one letter and the keyboard would go away, and when I tapped on the field again the one letter would disappear).
The feature list claims recurring tasks (which you say here is a) in the future and b) premium). It also claims mobile access but it's not in the Play Store (two Tweeks but neither are to-do lists).
I think I would like this a lot, but it's not ready yet.
@jjmcgaffey just checked. Seems that everything is working fine on most devices. Maybe there is a conflict with autofocus and we will disable it to be sure that was a problem. Please check in 5 min.
It's not a secret, we're just launched and don't want to create a never-ending development process without hearing our real users' needs. This is not our first product, and we aimed to launch and gain feedback from real users. Maybe recurrent tasks are not quite a thing they want... 🤔 We will try to create a close dialog with our users and provide the features they want.
@prakis thanks, we are true fans of the "try without signup" model and convinced that it is the most suitable for the potential user. It's quite tricky for SEO, but user happiness pays off. The first project we made by this model was Octopus.do
I'm glad to see your project works the same, if you don't mind I suggest you make a more tactile interface and think of adding an alert then user leaves without saving.
Maybe we should create some kind a directory of websites 'try before sign up' model? :)
@karlplaude1 regarding your suggestion: I am not clear what you mean by tactile interface. I will think about showing a save dialog when they are leaving. Thank you.
@frenchcooc thank you! I paper-like notebooks for years, and last month I switched myself completely to tweek and feel very comfortable :) We are still working on some features and the mobile version should have an external app. That is in our roadmap 🛣
