## What is Putter?

The first hour is not a to-do list.

Puttering is the old word for it: newspapers, breakfast, and nothing that has to be decided before ten. Most morning routine apps do the opposite and wake you into a scoreboard. Putter is a calm morning with a clock on it.

Pick 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes and start. Your phone turns into:

• A warm, low-contrast clock you can read from across the kitchen. No second hand.
• A countdown you can't watch tick. It says "about 20 minutes left" and only changes when that stops being true.
• One plain place to put a thought if one shows up. No headings, no checkboxes, no tags.
• A slow ring under the clock, paced for box breathing if you feel like following it. Nothing tells you to.

What the app does that a browser can't:

• The sunrise. Over the last few minutes the screen warms up and the backlight itself comes up, so the room tells you it's nearly over. Your own brightness comes back the moment the buffer ends or you leave the app.
• Your note, handed back. When the buffer ends, anything you wrote is offered back so you can send it wherever you keep things. It stays in the pad either way.
• Clock mode. The same warm screen with no timer and nothing counted, and the screen stays on until you close it.

One thing it can't do on iPhone
iPhone doesn't let an app turn on Do Not Disturb or a Focus, so Putter doesn't pretend to. When a buffer starts it says so, and points you to Control Center if you want the phone quiet too.

One number
Consecutive mornings you didn't get pulled away. Finish the buffer and one a day counts. Locking the phone and setting it down is fine, as long as it has a passcode. Going off into another app for more than 45 seconds means that morning won't count. Miss a day and it starts again at one. No badges and no streak-loss guilt.

What it doesn't have, on purpose
• No account and no sign-in.
• No ads and no subscription. You pay once.
• No reminders and no congratulations. Putter never makes a sound.
• No internet connection. Putter doesn't connect to anything, so the only way a note leaves your phone is if you send it.

Putter isn't a treatment for anything and doesn't claim to do anything to your brain. It's an hour with a clock on it.
