Rows. Calm, precise, one warm spark on cold white.

  • Productivity
  • Light theme
  • 11 colors

Rows presents a near-monochrome workspace where black type on a vast white canvas does almost all the work, and a single warm marigold accent (used once per screen, never as fill) signals where attention belongs. The interface feels like a spreadsheet that learned to be a product: tabular density, hairline dividers, compact 8px gaps, and typographic restraint rather than chrome to organize information. Components are nearly borderless — the visual structure comes from whitespace, alignment, and the occasional thin 1px rule. Color never decorates; it only points. The single gradient (coral to marigold) exists as a brand mark, not as surface treatment.
