No title, no template, no new-entry button. The composer is already waiting. No titles, no prompts, no mood surveys, and no notifications. Open, type. Morning pages before standup. I keep noticing that curiosity works better when I make room for it instead of trying to schedule it into the last ten minutes of the day. what if i can capture double copies from clipboard? so no noise, just stuff that i actually want to save? The shape feels simple: notice the second copy, assume intent, and keep the whole thing quiet. #idea Found the feel of discreet mode today.
