You would love Notion. It’s like a most customizable Trello. I use it as my second brain. The absolute best.

I don't think Cal would like an application that don't work in offline mode so if the Notion server is off, his data would be unavailable. And Cal is a type of person who is totally the opposite of productivity procrastination which is often the case with Notion where people fall into the trap of Ikea effect. His working memory TXT file is the perfect tool for using your brain removing all distraction from a tool like Notion that is constantly try to force you to use the unsolicited features like AI option that is constantly displayed while you start a block and only enterprise paid users can get rid of.
