What is Sylph?
A visual project planning app built around an AI Task Canvas.
Sylph helps you see the whole plan before the first move: tasks, notes, deadlines, reminders, habits, reviews, and strategy all stay connected inside one calm workspace.
Map the plan visually
Arrange goals, tasks, dependencies, notes, and decisions as connected nodes before they become scattered work.
Switch views without drift
Keep Canvas, Kanban, and List views synced so the same task can move between planning modes without duplicate records.
Keep context with the work
Bring notes, dates, reminders, habits, and reviews into the same project context instead of spreading them across tools.
Ask AI without losing control
Use Sylph AI for brainstorming, refining plans, and next-action suggestions while every change still waits for approval.

Questions
A few things people ask before starting.
Straight answers for people comparing Sylph with task managers, Kanban boards, notes apps, and AI planning tools.
What is Sylph?
Sylph is a visual project planning app built around an AI-assisted Task Canvas. It helps you map tasks, notes, deadlines, reminders, habits, reviews, and project strategy in one focused workspace.
How is Sylph different from a normal task manager?
Most task managers start with a list or board. Sylph starts with a canvas, so you can see the whole plan, connect moving parts, and then switch into Kanban or List views without duplicating tasks.
Can Sylph manage notes, deadlines, reminders, habits, and reviews?
Yes. Sylph is designed so projects, task views, notes, calendar planning, reminders, habits, reviews, focus tools, and optional toolbox items can support the same plan instead of living in separate places.
Does Sylph include AI planning help?
Sylph AI can help brainstorm, refine plans, and suggest next actions using the context of your project and canvas. Suggested changes stay under your control and wait for your approval.
Who is Sylph for?
Sylph is designed first as a personal operating system for individuals who manage complex work, ideas, studies, content, or projects and want a calmer planning surface than scattered lists.
