## What is Time Blocks?

Time Blocks is a one-line diary. Six times a day, you jot a single line and pick a mood - that is the whole habit. Ten seconds, and you are done.

This is not a timer and not a task manager. Time Blocks is a retrospective journal: instead of planning what you will do, you pause a few times a day and notice what you actually did and how it felt.

HOW IT WORKS

- Your day is split into six fixed 4-hour blocks
- The current block is highlighted with the time remaining
- When a block ends, write one line and choose a mood emoji
- Your calendar fills up with six mood dots per day

FEATURES

- One-line reflections: no pressure to write long entries
- Mood tracking with a simple emoji per block
- Calendar view: see each day as six colored mood dots
- Streak counter to keep your reflection habit alive
- Works fully offline: no account, no sign-up
- Zero ads — no banners, no pop-ups, no forced videos.
- Light, fast, and private: your journal stays on your device

CALM BY DESIGN

No alarms shouting at you, no productivity guilt. Just a gentle rhythm of looking back every four hours. Over weeks, the mood dots become a picture of your life you have never seen before.

Start with the block you are in right now.

PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)

Optional. Unlocks the deeper look back:

- Weekly report: mood mix, record rate, vs last week
- Monthly wrap-up with your best run
- Year in Pixels — a year of moods at a glance

Everything free today stays free.
