Current

Current is a simple desktop app designed to help you stay focused on the task at hand.

It combines:

• Work Log as a lightweight working memory
• Todo as a current intention and direction cue
• Pomodoro timer for rhythm support
• Keyboard-first workflow

Current is designed to reduce friction between thinking and doing.

Philosophy

Current is designed to help you:

• focus on the current task
• keep track of working context
• return to interrupted work
• maintain a working rhythm

Current focuses on the present, not optimization.

Main Features

• Work Log for context, notes, and progress
• Lightweight Todo for current intention
• Pomodoro timer
• Keyboard-first workflow
• Local data storage

Installation

Current is distributed for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

1. Open the latest release on GitHub.
2. Download the installer for your OS:
   • macOS Apple Silicon: the file ending in _aarch64.dmg
   • macOS Intel: the file ending in _x64.dmg
   • Windows: the .exe or .msi installer
   • Linux: the .deb package or .AppImage
3. Install or run Current:
   • macOS: open the downloaded DMG and move Current to your Applications folder.
   • Windows: run the downloaded installer.
   • Linux .deb: install it with your package manager.
   • Linux .AppImage: make it executable, then run it.
4. Start Current from your applications menu or launcher.

Current is not notarized with Apple Developer ID. If macOS says Current is damaged and can't be opened, run the following command after moving Current to Applications:

xattr -cr /Applications/Current.app

Then open Current again. This removes the quarantine attributes that macOS applies to downloaded apps.

Windows installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.

The app.tar.gz, .sig, and latest.json assets are used by the in-app updater and are not needed for manual installation.

What Current Is NOT

Current is not:

• a team collaboration tool
• a cloud-sync platform
• a project management system
• a knowledge management tool
• a detailed analytics dashboard
• a social productivity app

Current focuses on the present, not optimization.
