Introducing Pagi - the perfect writing app for morning pages!  Start your day off right with morning pages in Pagi. It features a special focus mode to highlight your current sentence and gives you the perfect environment to capture your stream of consciousness. With Pagi’s word counter and progress bar, you can easily track your progress to meet your writing goals, whether it’s 1,500 words for three pages, 750 words, or whatever feels right for you. Plus, you can customize the colors and choose from 3 different fonts to make it yours. Pagi is available on macOS and iOS, so you can start your morning pages wherever you are. STORAGE By default, Pagi stores everything you write in iCloud Drive to sync it with your other devices. You can disable this to only store your files on your device, or not at all, depending on your preference. You have the option to export everything you write on a per-file basis, and files from Pagi will show up in the Files app. It's able to open and edit any plain text file and uses the .txt extension for saved files by default. This can be overwritten when saving. ABOUT The name »Pagi« /paɡi/ is Indonesian and means »morning«. DEVELOPMENT Pagi is developed by Lucas, as an independent side-project. It's crafted with longevity in mind: working completely offline, with no user tracking or third-party dependencies. Updates to Pagi are sporadic, but you can be sure each version has been built to last. SUPPORT / FEEDBACK / CONTACT If you need direct contact to the developer, you can send an email to xoxo@lucas.love.  I welcome feedback and like to help with any problems.
