Negotium - Minimalist To Do App

A beautiful, minimal to-do list application featuring smooth animations, intelligent date management, and a modern design that helps you stay organized and productive.

💭 Why Negotium?

While powerful tools like Trello and Vikunja excel at managing complex projects and long-term planning, sometimes you just need a simple, focused space for your daily tasks. That's why I built Negotium, a straightforward to-do list for today and tomorrow. Nothing more, nothing less.

Built with Svelte for speed and simplicity. No overwhelming features, no endless project boards, no complexity. Just a clean interface for your daily workflow.

✨ Features
