About Focal

Tired of scattered notes and lost tasks? Focal brings everything together in one place. Organize your ideas, projects, and to-dos in a simple outline format—like folders within folders—so you can always find what you need.

🌳 Outline Your Way: Nest notes inside notes, just like an outline. Break big projects into smaller pieces and keep related items together.

📝 Notes, Tasks, and Boards: Write notes, track tasks with due dates and priorities, or plan visually with kanban boards. Use what works for you.

🔍 Find Anything Fast: Search across all your notes and tasks instantly. Create smart lists that automatically gather items by tag, status, or date.

🏷️ Tag and Organize: Add color-coded tags to group related items across different projects. Filter by tag to see exactly what you need.

✏️ Write Your Way: Use simple text or rich formatting with headings, lists, and styling—whatever suits your style.

☁️ Sync Everywhere: Access your notes on all your devices. Everything stays backed up and in sync automatically.

🤝 Share and Collaborate: Invite others to view or edit specific notes or entire sections. Control who can read, edit, or manage each part.

Focal adapts to how you think—whether you're planning a project, studying for exams, or just keeping life organized. No complicated setup, no rigid structure. Just your ideas, organized your way.
