Hyphen is a quiet place for the details you would otherwise lose. Write a sentence, list, quotation, decision, observation, or full page. Every note belongs to its day, so you can move naturally through time and return by date, month, year, Chronicle, or search. WRITE WITHOUT FRICTION Capture a quick thought in place. Expand into the full editor when the thought becomes something larger. MARKDOWN MADE FOR IPHONE Use headings, emphasis, lists, checklists, quotations, links, and code without hunting through the iOS keyboard for punctuation. SEE YOUR DAYS TAKE SHAPE Move naturally between Day, Month, and Year, and view time as a quiet record of activity. Hyphen shows continuity without turning your writing into a streak game. FIND WHAT YOU WROTE Search your writing, browse Chronicle, and move directly back to the day where a thought belongs.

About

Time Audit

Read full description

Discover more of your time, let your time add up to something beautiful. Every day at the end of the night, reflect on where you have spent your time, and how much of it was spent there. Inner or outer. What value was it adding to your life? You'll know what needs to be noticed. This can be used for fuel in how you move forward as you decide to grow and change. Time Audit keeps it simple: • Schedule: set the things you do every day, or plan a single day ahead. • Today's audit: ten lines for what you spent your time on, and how long. • A fresh page each day: yesterday's audit clears, so you meet each day as it is. • Your week at a glance: move through the week and see which days have their own plans.
