## When it is time for a little break

With reminders enabled, a full-screen reminder appears at launch, when you unlock Windows and every six hours while the app is running. Dismiss it immediately with Esc, Close or Continue. It never locks your computer.

Snooze for five minutes or pause reminders. Closing the window leaves the app in the system tray; Quit app stops reminders. Starting with Windows is optional.

## Keep the small things you did

Record a drink of water or a break with one click. Leave a note of up to 500 characters about a task finished, something learned or a small step.

Today shows only the entries you saved. Choose a date to revisit previous days. The app does not watch other programs or track your computer activity.

## Only on your computer

Use it without an account or network connection. No ads, analytics, cloud sync or remote AI. Your notes are not sent to a translation service.

- 20 offline interface languages, including English and Turkish.
- Notes and preferences in local JSON files, without additional app encryption.
- Export your journal as JSON or clear entries with confirmation.
- An x64 app for Windows 10 (2004 or later) and Windows 11.
