myeon (면)

myeon is a minimalist, keyboard-driven TUI Kanban board built with Rust and Ratatui. While ilseon is designed for execution (the single priority), myeon is designed for perspective (the landscape).

It provides a low-sensory, high-focus environment to triage ideas, organise projects, and decide what earns the right to become your "first line" of work.

The Philosophy

For neurodivergent users, the "Big Picture" is often a source of anxiety, leading to task paralysis. myeon solves this by applying the Ilseon Stillness principles to a Kanban structure:

• Low Sensory Load: No flashing colors, no "Overdue" alarms, and no visual clutter. Just your tasks in a calm, spatial layout.
• Contextual Silos: Filter your entire board by "Work," "Life," or "Project" with a single keystroke. If it’s not relevant now, it doesn't exist.
• The "Planning vs. Doing" Split: Use myeon at your desk to organise the chaos. Use ilseon on your mobile to execute the result.

Features

• Keyboard-First Navigation: Vim-like bindings for speed and reduced cognitive load.
• Zen Focus Mode: Dim all columns except the one you are currently triaging.
• WIP Soft-Caps: Gentle visual cues when a column has too many items, encouraging you to finish instead of start.
• Idea Landing Strip: A dedicated column for "Exported" notes from the ilseon app.
• Local-First & Private: Your data stays on your machine in a simple, human-readable format.

Installation

You need Rust and Cargo installed.

Installing from crates.io

The easiest way to install myeon is to download it from crates.io. You can do it using the following command:

cargo install myeon

If you want to update myeon to the latest version, execute the following command:

myeon update

Building from source

Alternatively you can build myeon from source using Cargo:

git clone https://github.com/cladam/myeon.git
cd myeon
sudo cargo install --path . --root /usr/local

Keybindings

• h/j/k/l: Move focus across tasks and columns.
• c: Change Context (Switch between Work/Personal/Side-project).
• a: Quick-capture a new idea into the Inbox.
• e: Edit a task
• d: Delete a task
• Enter: Move the task forward
• Backspace: Move a task backwards

About myeon

In the ilseon ecosystem, focus is sacred.

Most Kanban boards are designed for complex project management, often resulting in "information density" that leads to cognitive overwhelm and task paralysis. myeon (Korean for surface or plane) is the spatial counterpart to the ilseon mobile app.

While ilseon helps you walk the path (The Line), myeon helps you map the territory (The Plane). It provides a high-contrast, low-stimulation environment to organise your thoughts without the "noise" of traditional productivity software.

Shared Identity

myeon is visually synchronised with the ilseon Android app. It utilises the same low-sensory colour palette to ensure a seamless transition between mobile execution and desktop planning:

• Stillness Palette: Uses #121212 backgrounds to eliminate eye strain during long sessions.
• Semantic Accents: Employs MutedTeal for active focus and MutedRed for urgency, maintaining a consistent mental map across devices.
• OLED Friendly: Optimised for high-contrast, low-brightness environments.
