Why Levin exists

My name is Jannis Busch. In early 2025, I entered parental leave.
My days suddenly revolved around caring for my son while my wife returned to work.

I wanted to be fully present as a father.
And at the same time, I wasn’t ready to abandon my creative and professional drive.

What I hadn’t anticipated was the mental overhead.

Ideas came in fragments—during naps, late evenings, brief moments when the house was quiet or grandparents stepped in. But turning those moments into meaningful progress felt harder than it should. Thoughts were scattered across notes, apps, messages, and half-finished documents. Every attempt to “get organized” created more friction than relief.

The problem wasn’t motivation.
It was clarity.

I looked for tools that could hold both thinking and doing—something like a thoughtful, AI-assisted task manager, but grounded in calm rather than pressure. A place to collect raw thoughts, shape them over time, and move forward without amplifying the constant background anxiety that comes with modern life—and parenthood in particular.

I didn’t find it.

So I started building it.

Levin is for people whose minds are always full.
For those who are capable, curious, and often overwhelmed—not because they lack discipline, but because life is loud and attention is fragile.

It’s a space to think before you act.
To reduce friction.
To make progress feel human again.

Levin is built slowly, intentionally, and in public.
If it resonates with you, I’d love for you to try it, challenge it, and help shape it.

Feedback is welcome. Collaboration even more so.

With love from Mainz.
