tink helps you shape your thoughts, asks the right questions, pulls you back the moment you drift.
i'm thinking about an agent that digests papers into what changed.
18:24tinknowyour head holds three to five things. past that, focus goes — and whatever you're holding is something you're not thinking with.
“none of these are hard. all of them at once is.”
not a place to file things. someone working alongside you.
tinkthe hardest part is the first sentence. so i don't ask for one.
say it however it comes out. i'll shape it into a thread while you talk.
talk at it however it comes out. tink pulls a titled thread, a first task and a next step out of the ramble.
tinkevery idea gets its own room.
you switch between them. the thread stays exactly where you left it.
one for the rewrite, one for the side project, one for the thing you haven't named yet. open one and it's the only thing in the room.
tinki won't tell you what to build.
i'll ask the one thing you were circling, and write down whatever you answer.
tink asks, you answer, and the next step is rewritten to match — a plan you made, not one you were handed.
tinksometimes a list is wrong and a map is right.
same thinking, three ways to look at it.
the same thread as a trail, a mind map or an open canvas. pick whichever one you can think in today.
tinkevery note and every to-do, from every thread, on one wall.
so "what am i actually holding" has an answer you can look at.
searchable, and grouped so a thread's notes and to-dos stay together instead of scattering by date.
tinkwhen the timer goes, i ask about the thing you said you'd do next.
and when you come back — an hour, three days — you get the thread back before you get a blank page.
the friend who looks over and says: still on that thing? it notices when you've drifted, before the afternoon's gone.
04:12the small things you only notice missing.
feeling nerdy? here's why any of it works →you talk, tink tracks. you drift, tink nudges. you come back, tink knows exactly where you left off.
i built tink for myself.
my thoughts are the distraction final boss. every ten minutes i find something more interesting than the thing i'm already on. i chase the new ones and end up getting nothing done.
the best work i ever did was with a friend from uni. he'd talk, i'd talk, we'd throw ideas at each other until one held. and when i wandered off into a new one, he'd hear it out and then say: cool. but where we at with that thing.
that's the whole trick. someone who jumps on ideas with you and still checks in on the things you were supposed to do.
that's tink.
free while it's in early preview, and a small group on purpose. leave your email and we'll tell you when there's room.
