Pipeline — A Calm Alternative to Notion for Shipping Content

Pipeline is a single-file HTML app designed as an alternative to Notion templates for content planning.

It replaces complex dashboards, databases, and endless customization with a simple, opinionated system:

Capture → Shape → Schedule → Ship

You download one file, open it in your browser, and start working.

No logins.
No sync.
Your data stays on your device.

What Pipeline helps you do

• Capture ideas without overthinking
• Turn drafts into scheduled work
• See what’s shipping this week
• Move work forward visually with a Kanban board
• Plan content on a clean calendar
• Track ideas, drafts, scheduled, and published work
• Stay focused without building a “second brain”

Pipeline is intentionally constrained — because constraints are what actually help things get finished.

Why this isn’t a Notion template

Notion templates are powerful, but they often become maintenance projects.

Pipeline is different:

• Fixed structure (no endless tweaking)
• Clear stages
• Gentle urgency without guilt
• No setup tax

You either use it, or you don’t — and that’s the point.

Features

• Board, Calendar, List, and Ideas views
• Drag-and-drop Kanban workflow
• Opinionated workflow labels (or neutral ones — your choice)
• “This Week” focus panel
• Overdue draft indicators
• Built-in onboarding and sample content
• Local-first storage (no servers, no tracking)
• JSON export / import (backup & restore)
• Light and dark mode
• Works offline in any modern browser

What you get

• 1 single-file HTML app
• Works on Mac, Windows, Linux
• Open locally in your browser
• No installation required
• Lifetime access

Who this is for

Pipeline is for:

• creators who abandoned their Notion dashboards
• people who want fewer tools, not more
• anyone who wants to ship consistently without productivity theater

If you love endlessly customizing systems, this is probably not for you.

If you want to finish things — it is.
