✍️ Type or speak
Capture by typing or dictate with the keyboard mic — your words become editable text. No audio is stored.
A comun.ai project
Capture the moments between tasks.
A tiny, private notebook for the gaps in your day — before you start, when you switch, when you get stuck, when you finish. Type it or say it; it's timestamped automatically and it's entirely yours.

How it works
1
Capture in a tap
Open a blank note and write a line — or tap the keyboard mic and say it. Add a tag and, if you like, how you're feeling. There's no Save button; it's kept the moment you're done.
2
See your day as a timeline
Entries stack up newest-first, each stamped with the time. Start a task and it shows live on your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and widgets — finishing it logs the time as an entry you can tag.
3
Notice your patterns
See entries per day, focus time, and how things break down by tag and mood — all computed on your device. Insight without surveillance.
Everything you'd want, nothing you wouldn't
🕒 Automatic timestamps
Every entry is timed for you. The day reads as a chronological narrative, not dated pages.
🏷️ Editable tags
Five sensible defaults (Work · Personal · Idea · Mood · Health) — rename, recolor, reorder, or add your own.
🟢 Active-task surface
Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, widgets, and the Mac menu bar all show the task you're in.
📊 Clear insights
Entries per day, focus time, and patterns by tag and mood — computed entirely on your device.
☁️ Syncs, no login
Your entries live in your own iCloud and sync across your Apple devices. No account, nothing we can read.
What the science shows
Here are the facts: interstitial journaling itself hasn't been formally trialed. What we build on is adjacent, real (if modest) research:
- Attention & transitions. Cognition lingers on a prior task ("attention residue"); briefly noting where you left off and what's next is the one intervention with direct support (Leroy & Glomb).
- Naming feelings. Putting an emotion into words is associated with calmer responses — so mood naming is offered, gently and optionally.
- Lower friction wins. Habits stick when the action is trivially easy, so capture is one tap or one phrase.
- Reflection helps — a little. Journaling's measured effects are small and not universal. This is reflection, not treatment.
You won't see splashy productivity percentages here. The numbers that circulate about this practice come from unrelated studies and get misattributed online — we'd rather earn your trust than borrow theirs.
You own your data. Really.
Everything is stored in your iCloud (a private CloudKit database) and on your devices. There's no server we control and no account to create — we can't read your journal. It's encrypted in transit and at rest; turn on Apple's Advanced Data Protection for full end-to-end encryption. Export to JSON or Markdown anytime.
