PR Life brings text and voice capture, tasks, projects, and calendar context into one private app. Today is the starting point; the other views hold the detail.
PERSONAL PRODUCT · SOFTWARE
PR Life
A personal operating system for capturing thoughts, organising work, and seeing the day in context.
ROLE
I designed and built my private personal operating system.
01 / THE PERSONAL SYSTEM
Capture, work, and the day around it.
02 / GETTING IT DOWN
A thought can stay a note or become a task.
Text and voice captures are saved as entries. When an entry reads like a task, Life attempts to create one without making the capture depend on that step succeeding. I can also add tasks directly.
03 / TWO KINDS OF CONTEXT
Projects hold the work. Studio holds the references.
Projects organise tasks, sub-projects, milestones, and pages. Studio is a separate visual space for images, links, moodboards, and design notes that can feed a project later.
04 / THE DAILY VIEW
The same day, with a different emphasis on each screen.
On desktop, capture sits beside tasks, the schedule, captured entries, and a morning brief when one is available. On a phone, Today prioritises capture, tasks, and the schedule.
05 / LOOKING BACK
The system also makes room to review.
Life includes morning briefs, end-of-day reports, and weekly reports. Reports sit alongside the task and calendar views; they do not replace the underlying work.
06 / BEYOND THE SCREEN
A task can become something I can hold.
The thermal printer is a physical extension of Life. It takes a selected task out of the app and onto a small paper ticket.
07 / WHERE IT IS NOW
One system, with room for different kinds of work.
PR Life is a private tool I designed and built for myself. Capture, planning, and review stay together; extensions such as the printer give a task another form.
