# A journal for the hour when the house is asleep.

_Warm near-black background, cream-coloured text, no badges. Designed to be read at three in the morning without searing your eyes._

There's a particular kind of clarity that arrives between one and four. It does not survive being shown to anyone the next morning.

The Sealed Journal is built for that hour. Warm dark mode, no notifications, no glow that can be seen across the bedroom.

Write what you need to. Lock the file. Sleep.

## Questions

### Why is the dark theme the default?

Because most journaling happens after midnight. The near-black background and warm text are meant for tired eyes, not office lighting.

### Will it keep me awake like other screens?

The palette is low-contrast and warm rather than bright white, which helps, though nothing beats closing the laptop afterwards.

### Is there a light mode for daytime?

Yes, with warm cream paper rather than clinical white.
