Steep: one thought a day

Steep is a journal for one thought a day.

Each morning, a single thought lands on your phone. You can steep it (sit with it, keep it) or pour it (let it go). That's the whole rhythm.

There is no streak counter. There is no daily score. Sundays default to a quiet rest day with no notification. If you miss a day, nothing breaks. If you miss a week, the app waits.

Over months, the thoughts you keep accumulate into something quietly meaningful. A list of threads you returned to. A small portrait of what you paid attention to. A year, in cross-section.

What you get for free: • A new thought, every morning • A growing archive of what you kept and what you let go • Threads, the topics you returned to, gathered automatically • A weekly silence on by default

Premium adds six slow artefacts that build over months: • Pull the thread, a layered re-reading of today's thought — three hand-written reflections pulled one at a time, deepening what you came to sit with • Thread Letters, a short letter on the first of each month composed from the thoughts you kept that month • Your Virtues, a slow self-portrait that fills in across six axes as you steep • Your Rings, a 12-month cross-section of the threads that shaped your year • Your Words, a typeset page of the words your kept thoughts keep returning to, sized by how often each one came up • Your Year, once a year a long letter composed from twelve months of kept thoughts, with the artefact trio compiled into a single printed-feeling page • The full archive, with no horizon

Steep is private by design. Your reflections never leave your phone. There is no analytics, no sync, no server, no account. Apple sees only that you're subscribed. We never see your reflections.

A small, careful piece of software, made by one person, slowly.
