Penggu — Tasks, Notes & Focus
Your work lives in the browser. Your workspace can too.
Free Chrome extension · Kanban, notepad & timer
Penggu is a personal productivity workspace for freelancers, VAs, developers, and anyone who lives in Chrome.
No account. No mandatory cloud. No tracking.
A small penguin for a big pile of work
Your browser. A little more together.
What it actually looks like
One tab. The whole workspace.
Boards, quick tasks, and the scratchpad sit side by side — with the focus timer floating over everything.
Illustrative layout · Sample tasks only, not a screenshot or a working demo. In Penggu, organize cards, jot notes, and use a timer across tabs.
The workflow
Three steps, one workspace
Everything Penggu does follows the same loop — no switching apps, no leaving the page you're already on.
Capture
Clip text from any webpage into Quick Tasks or your Scratchpad.
Organize
Turn captured ideas into boards, cards, labels, and subtasks.
Focus
Start the floating timer and keep working while you browse.

For freelancers & VAs
Built for the way freelancers actually work
Penggu is a personal workspace — sized for one person juggling several clients, not a whole company.
A board per client. Keep every client's columns, cards, and labels separate — and out of your head.
Client notes live in the Scratchpad, right beside the board — no second app for meeting notes.
Clip a client's brief straight from their webpage into Quick Tasks — while you're still reading it.
A focus block per client, with a floating timer that keeps counting across every tab you open.
Meet Penggu.
A small penguin for a big pile of work.
I built Penggu because I got tired of switching between my task manager, notes, timer, and browser tabs just to get through a workday. And yes, the penguin is intentional — I'm a Linux user.
