Roadmap

Where Carbon is going

Carbon is actively developed. Here's what we're working on and what's ahead. This isn't a one-and-done project — it's a long-term commitment to building the task manager we've always wanted.

Performance and sync optimizations
Accessibility improvements across all platforms

New capabilities that deepen what Carbon can do, without adding clutter.

Long-term vision

The bigger picture. These are ideas we're exploring — not promises, but directions we're excited about.

API and integrations (Zapier, Shortcuts, webhooks)
Offline-first mode with conflict-free sync
Advanced data export and migration tools
Productivity insights — patterns in how you work, not gamification

Our approach

Carbon is built by an indie developer with a clear philosophy: simplicity over feature-creep. Every addition is carefully considered. If it adds clutter, it doesn't ship. We'd rather do fewer things well than everything poorly.

This roadmap is a living document. Priorities may shift based on feedback, but the commitment to building Carbon in the open won't. Have a suggestion? Reach out at support@carbonapp.co.
