Daily deep work planner based on Cal Newport's timeboxing method. Drag and drop scheduler, to-do lists, accountability tracker, Notion-style notes, and Google calendar syncing - all in one place.
👋 Hey hunters I'm Rohan, the maker behind timebox.so! Here's a little bit about why I made it!
🧐 Problem
I've been timeboxing for the past three years, ever since I read "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. Since then I've filled up over 7 notebooks with hand-drawn daily plans exactly as Cal describes in his book. But... I had no easy way to move to-do's to the next day, save to-do's for later, sync my schedule with my Google calendar, or keep track of how consistent I was... it was a mess!
🛠️ Solution
So what did I want? I wanted Cal's timeboxing method online. That's it. And that is exactly what timebox.so is!
😊 Me
I'm a SWE working from 9-5 on AI products for enterprise and 5-9 on indie projects! I spent about 2 months making this in my nights and weekends so feel free to let loose with constructive feedback, feature requests, bug reports, or anything else!
🌟 My Goal
I really hope this site helps you become more productive and worry less :)
Time management is a big challenge these days, your tool looks helpful in time management.
Timeboxing has always been a struggle for me because of the manual work involved. Does timebox.so offer any reminders or notifications to keep me on track?
This sounds super interesting, Rohan! I totally get the struggle of managing to-do's and schedules effectively when trying to implement a method like Cal Newport's timeboxing. I'm curious, have you thought about adding any features for team collaboration? It would be great if this could not only help individuals but also support remote work setups where accountability and shared schedules are vital. Additionally, what's your approach to ensuring that the user experience (UX) is as smooth as possible, especially considering the complexity of integrating multiple systems like Google Calendar? Looking forward to seeing how timebox.so evolves!
This product sounds perfect! Looking forward to trying it out soon! Congratulations on the launch!
Hey @mahendrakerr , I love the idea. Anything related to helping with stress management is always a huge plus. One piece of advice, I'd leave your video on the main page of PH to show the actual product. Always nicer for viewers to get a quick idea of what it's about.
Nonetheless, congrats on the launch!
Wow, this looks perfect, does it also sync with Samsung Calendar?

This is a really interesting approach, Rohan! I'm curious about how the accountability tracker works. Is it integrated with the tasks, or is it a separate feature? Also, any suggestions on best practices for using the Google calendar sync effectively?
Looks interesting, Rohan! How do you plan to ensure the accountability tracking feature stands out from other productivity tools? Would love to know more!
Timebox.so looks like a solid solution for anyone striving to enhance their productivity! I love how it incorporates Cal Newport's timeboxing method, turning those handwritten plans into a streamlined digital format. The drag-and-drop scheduler makes planning less of a chore, and the to-do lists mean you won’t miss a beat with your daily tasks.
The accountability tracker sounds particularly useful to keep you on target with your goals. Plus, syncing with Google Calendar is a major win for anyone who juggles multiple schedules. The Notion-style notes feature is an awesome touch that can help keep everything organized in one place.
It’s great to hear that you’ve been hands-on with this, Rohan! Given how personal productivity varies from person to person, it might be interesting to see future features like customizable templates or integration with task management tools like Trello or Asana. Thanks for sharing your project; it feels like a handy companion for anyone looking to maximize their hours and reduce that stress!
Thanks, Rohan! It's encouraging to see tools like TimeBox. So it is an exact description of Cal Newport's time-boxing method. Time management is the most difficult work for anyone, and in this day and age, everyone requires a shortcut, such as time box, to boost productivity.
