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.

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.
