Stillness - Close Your Day

You didn't do everything you planned. The day is ending and the weight of what's unfinished is still there, sitting in your head, making rest feel unearned.

Stillness is a 5-minute evening ritual designed to close the day. Not a journal. Not a mood tracker. Not a gratitude log. A nightly ceremony that helps you acknowledge what happened, release what's unfinished, and actually stop.

--- HOW IT WORKS --- Each evening, Stillness guides you through five short screens:

1. Arrive: land where you are, without judgment
2. Acknowledge: name what actually happened today (not just what went well)
3. Release: name one unfinished thing and consciously set it down for tonight
4. One win: find one real moment, even something small
5. Close: a deliberate closing ceremony that marks the day as done

The release step is the core of the app. You name the thing that's sitting with you — the email you didn't send, the task you didn't finish, the conversation you avoided — and the app helps you intentionally set it down. Not delete it. Not pretend it doesn't exist. Offload it so you can stop carrying it tonight.

--- WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT --- -> Built for evenings, not mornings The ritual opens at your configured time (default: 7 PM). Before that, past entries are available but the ritual isn't. This app is for one thing, at one time of day. -> No streaks. No failure states. Streaks make a guilt-relief app actively harmful. Stillness shows you a calendar of past closes, no chain, no counter. Missing a day is invisible except as a missing dot. -> No account. No cloud. No AI training on your words. Everything stays on your device. No sign-up. Your entries are yours. -> Try it free. No pressure, no paywall on the ritual. The evening ritual — the whole thing, every night — is free. Always. Unlock your history and customisation when it feels worth it.
