Wipe the morning
before it owns you.
Daybreak takes over your screen the moment you log in. It shows yesterday's unfinished business and asks for today's three commitments, and it will not get out of your way until you've physically wiped every item: commit, defer, or kill.

No account. No cloud. Your commitments stay in a local file on your machine.
The whole app is one honest gesture
- 1
It opens itself
First login of the day, full-screen. No tray icon to ignore, no notification to swat away.
- 2
You wipe each item
Swipe every carried-over task and every new commitment into commit, defer, or kill. Nothing is left ambiguous.
- 3
Then it lets go
Only once the board is clear does Daybreak close. Evening, it comes back once for a 20-second done/missed review.
Built for people who keep a streak honest
- Three commitments, max. The cap is the point. More than three isn't a plan, it's a wish list.
- Carry-over that stings a little. Skipped items come back on top, counting the days you've dodged them.
- A weekly streak you actually earned. A day only counts when you finished the ritual and kept at least one thing.
- Local-only. No login, no sync, no telemetry. The data file is yours.

Straight answers
- Is this really un-closable?
- The morning window stays until every surfaced item is wiped. You can always kill an item in one gesture; Daybreak forces a decision, not busywork.
- Does it phone home?
- No. There is no account and no server. Your commitments live in a local file on your PC.
- What's the refund policy?
- 14-day no-questions refund. Email founder@daybreak.rest.
- Is it shipping yet?
- Daybreak is in active build-in-public as ship-or-die cycle 2. This page reflects real status: where you see “opening soon,” that step is genuinely not live yet; we don't fake buttons.
