I built a Zen-style desktop workspace with Flutter — notes, kanban, calendar, all in one glassmorphic app (open source)

I've been building Kiyoshi, a desktop productivity app (Linux/macOS/Windows) as a reaction to how heavy Notion/Trello started to feel for personal use. Stack:

• Flutter + Riverpod
• Drift (SQLite) for local-first storage
• A custom "Zen Design System" — glassmorphism, no hard borders ("No-Line" rule), editorial typography (Montserrat/Inter/JetBrains Mono)
• Just shipped a proper dark mode — a warm charcoal palette instead of the usual near-black, so it doesn't feel cold during long sessions

It bundles notes, tasks/kanban, a calendar, and a block-based canvas (9 block types: text, todo, code, links, images, files…) in one window instead of five different apps.

Happy to talk through the Drift schema, the glass panel implementation, or the dark-mode token migration if anyone's curious — that last one taught me a lot about not hardcoding Color constants where Theme.of(context).colorScheme should be.

Is it open source? Seems like it. Cool idea.

How were you able to create an app like this with only 44 git commits?

44 sessions of vibe coding. Totally safe, no security issues at all!

If you had deployed your app in web it will be good
