Two minutes, three times a day
Still is a quiet daily journal for people who work long days. Not a habit tracker. Nothing to keep up with. Just three small moments that help a heavy day settle.

Why bother, on a day like today
You finish a shift carrying things you haven't had a minute to think about. A difficult conversation, a decision you're still turning over, four hours of sleep. Most of it never gets processed — it just accumulates. Two minutes of writing gives it somewhere to go.
It fits a working day, not an ideal one
Three short check-ins instead of a blank page and a guilty conscience. On a bad day you answer one question and close it.
It leaves work at the door
The evening prompt asks what you're carrying home. Naming it is what stops it following you around the house for the rest of the night.
It shows you your own patterns
Over weeks you can see whether your lighter days follow the nights you actually slept. Only if you ask it to look — it never volunteers conclusions.
It can't make you feel worse
No streaks to break, no score, no target. Come back after a month away and it greets you exactly the same way.
It works where you actually are
Basements, lifts, night duty, no signal. Everything runs on your phone with no connection needed.
How a day looks
Each moment asks something different. None of them takes more than a minute.
Morning
Set the shape
Rate how you slept and name the one thing that matters today.
Before the first cup of tea, or on the way in.Evening
Leave it at the door
Name what you're bringing home from the day, so it isn't still with you at dinner.
Changing out of scrubs. Parked outside the house.Night
Set the day down
What was good, what you're letting go of, what tomorrow needs.
Phone on the bedside table, lights already off.Nobody reads this but you
Everything you write stays on your own phone. There are no accounts, no sign-in, and nothing is uploaded — not to us, not to anyone. We could not read your entries if we wanted to, because they never leave your device.
That matters more than usual here. The things worth writing down after a hard shift are often exactly the things you would never put in a cloud notes app.
Keep it on your home screen
Still opens in any browser, but installing gives you an app icon, a full screen, and offline access. It takes about ten seconds and there's nothing to download from a store.

Questions
How long does it actually take?
Under a minute per check-in once you know it. You can also answer just one of the three and leave the rest — nothing is marked incomplete.
What if I miss days?
Nothing happens. There is no streak to lose and no catch-up prompt. Missing a fortnight during exams or night duties costs you nothing.
Is it really free?
Yes, and there is nothing to unlock. No account, no trial, no card.
Do I need internet?
Only the first time you open it. After that it runs entirely on your device.
Can I get my writing out?
Yes — Settings has a backup that saves everything to a file you keep, and a restore to bring it back or move it to a new phone.
Does it collect anything about me?
Your entries, never. The app does send one anonymous number at most once a day — roughly how long it has been installed — so we can tell whether people keep using it. No name, no account, no device ID, and you can switch it off in Settings.
Try it tonight
Open it once before bed and answer three questions. That is enough to know whether it is for you.
