chaos
One meaningful thought. Always visible. Before the noise finds you — your intention is already there.

“The obstacle is the way”
— Marcus Aurelius
Good intentions evaporate by noon
We capture meaningful thoughts — insights, intentions, inspirations — but they vanish in the busyness of life.
Morning clarity fades
You wake up with insights and intentions, but by noon they've disappeared into the day's demands.
Writing isn't enough
Notes get buried. Journals gather dust. The thoughts you capture don't stay with you.
Constant distractions
Every notification pulls you further from what matters. The noise never stops.
Apps add complexity
More features, more friction. You need simplicity, not another system to manage.
“By afternoon, we've forgotten the clarity we had at dawn.”
First in your heart. Always before your eyes.
The Glade transforms how you hold onto meaningful thoughts — making them visible, persistent, and always present.

A gentle presence, all day long
“These words shall be first in your own minds and hearts... talk of them when you sit and when you walk, when you lie down and when you rise up. Bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”
— Ancient wisdom, reimagined for the modern age
The Glade is this ancient practice, made modern.

Home Widget
Your digital doorframe — first thing seen before apps and distractions.
Not a note-taking app. Not a task manager. Not a meditation app.
A daily practice of intentional focus.
Before social media. Before news. Before the chaos.
Your most important thought is the first thing you see — a gentle anchor in the noise of notifications.
“The obstacle is the way”
— Marcus Aurelius
“Be present”

Small widget
“Growth requires discomfort”
