# A writing app built to disappear.

_Fullscreen. Centered. Quiet. The interface gets out of the way and stays there._

Distraction is rarely a single notification. It's the cumulative weight of small UI elements asking for a glance.

We removed almost all of them. What remains is the cursor, the page, and a soft fade at the edges to remind you where you are.

After a few minutes, you forget the app is there. That's the goal.

## Questions

### How does it help with focus specifically?

One centred cursor, no notifications, no toolbar, no counters, and no second pane. There is nothing on the screen to click except your own sentence.

### Can I use it for timed writing sprints?

Yes, though the timer has to be yours. The journal deliberately keeps no clock, streak, or scoreboard of any kind.

### Does it block other apps?

No. It is a writing surface, not a blocker. Full-screen mode plus a quiet room does most of the work.
