The idea is to make all these tools feel like one fluid space instead of 5 separate tools. The hope is to replicate the feeling of a physical desk : where order and freedom coexist.
This 15-min video walks through the current alpha and the vision for the full product : https://youtu.be/AcWzuBBuiPM
I’d love your feedback — especially around the concept and UX. The alpha is online if you want to try it: https://gyst.fr
This is a solo project for now, inspired by the “second brain” / PKM movement and my own frustration with fragmented tools and outdated UX.

I built a prototype of something vaguely similar a few years ago that replicated a desk with papers stacked in piles. No searching, no sorting, no tagging--just typing on notes, dragging them into stacks, and a paintbrush to draw on the deck. This lets you leverage the brain's natural tendency to associate locations with ideas, like a memory palace. Want that recipe from a few weeks ago? You remember it was in a pile by a blue house you drew.
I see a similar philosophy here, expanded with more features and a larger scope. It's also great seeing a notes/organization system that isn't the same stupid three panels, tags on the left, etc.
Looking forward to trying it out when the site returns. Thanks for sharing!
