Fibril is an application designed to assist a user in coordinating distributed incremental actions over time. On the surface, it functions like a todo list application. However, its usage and functionality diverge from any task tracker its author has encountered. Its use case is very open and may be used to track a variety of phenomena beyond ‘tasks’. Much thought and effort has gone into the design of the application before its inception into actual code.

A fibril is a single idea, task, topic, or inspiration. Multiple fibrils are contained in a weave. Fibrils may be complex tasks, though they should always have an idoa. An idoa is an incremental “next step” that is actionable and reasonably small. This makes idoas distinct from ideas, which can live more within the mind.

• A list weave may contain more than one fibril, though they are only shown single file. This is to prevent overloading the working memory and to allow focus on a single subject.
• Fibrils will contain a space to hold notes and related ideas.
  • Users are generally encouraged to put the next idoa within the fibril’s space, so that it may be resumed very quickly.
• Fibrils that are not engaged with several times are moved out of sight automatically (this does **not** mean they are deleted!).
