◆ Any text becomes a worksheet
Type or dictate any phrase — a favorite poem, a name, today's affirmation.

Write the alphabet once and get a standard TTF font file, generated entirely

◆ Built for daily habit
A fresh practice arrives every day. Streaks, calendar heatmap, and side-by-side
comparison with last month's writing.
