Ten quiet minutes before the feed
Margin opens with one blank page and a timer. You write, it keeps. No streaks, no likes, no cloud.
Most journaling apps want a habit. Margin wants ten minutes. The page is blank, the timer says 10:00, and nothing else on the screen asks for attention. When the timer runs out, the page files itself under today and gets out of your way.
With the first coffeeIt pairs with the first cup. The page waits while the water boils, and the timer only starts when you type. Miss a morning and nothing scolds you; the next page is just blank again.
Where ideas landIdeas surface on their own once the hands are busy. Margin files each one under the day it arrived, so the good ones stop dissolving into a notes app you never open twice.
The day, already sortedUnderline anything while you write and it becomes today’s short list. Three lines, most days. That is usually the whole plan.
Free while in beta. One page a day.
