Woke before the alarm again. The house is quiet in that specific way it only is before six. I keep thinking about the onboarding screen — it asks too much too soon. Maybe the first page should just be a cursor. Nothing else.
DayBreak
750 words before the day fills your head.
A native Mac app for morning pages. No formatting, no feed, no audience. Just you, a cursor, and whatever's on your mind.
A page that asks nothing of you.
A gentle 750-word goal
A quiet counter fills as you write. No pressure, just a horizon to walk toward.
A truly empty page
No toolbars, no fonts to fiddle with. The editor gets out of the way so the words come out.
Plain markdown, your folder
One file per day, in a folder you own. Readable in anything, forever.
Nothing leaves your Mac
No account, no sync, no server. That's the architecture, not a promise.
Be there on day one.
One email when DayBreak is ready to download. That's it.
