Creed

Creed is a private document for the promises you keep.

Most habit apps are loud. They shame you for missing a day. They track streaks, send guilt pings, and optimise for time-in-app. Creed does none of that.

Write a few principles — the things you've decided to be true about how you want to live. Each morning, Creed opens with one of them, slowly, before anything else in your day. Each evening, it asks one honest question. If you drift for a week, Creed greets you back, not audits you.

That's the whole app.

### What Creed does
- Shows your committed self to your current self, daily
- Keeps a private archive of your principles and notes
- A gentle 30-second pause before writing anything, so you mean it
- A home-screen widget that surfaces today's focus (no notifications, ever)
- Seasons — optional chapters for when one intention matters more than others
- A "starting points" gallery of principles to borrow if you have no idea where to begin

### What Creed will never do
- Track streaks
- Shame you for absence
- Send notifications
- Compare you to anyone else

In v1, everything lives on your device — no account, no cloud. You can export everything you've written to a plain JSON file at any time.

### The promise
If you stop opening Creed because you're out in the world being the person you wanted to be — that's success.
