Stillday

A calm, local-first focus desk for Windows.

Choose one thing. Work in a gentle interval. Keep the loose thoughts nearby.

Why Stillday

Productivity software often becomes another place to maintain. Stillday is intentionally smaller: a focus timer, a gentle task queue, a scratchpad, and just enough history to notice momentum. There is no account, cloud, analytics, or subscription.

Highlights

• Focus, short-break, and long-break intervals
• A small daily task queue with per-task focus counts
• An autosaving scratchpad for thoughts that should not interrupt the session
• Seven-day focus history, daily goals, and streaks
• Light and dark themes
• Local JSON backup and restore
• Keyboard shortcuts (Space to start/pause, N for a new task)
• Fully local storage and a strict Electron security boundary

Install

Download the latest Windows installer from Releases, run it, and choose where Stillday should live. The installer can add desktop and Start Menu shortcuts and includes a standard uninstaller.

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because this independent release is not code-signed. Choose More info → Run anyway if you trust the downloaded release.

Development

Requires Node.js 20 or newer.

npm install
npm test
npm start

Build the Windows installer with npm run dist. The installer is written to dist/.

Data and privacy

Stillday stores its state in Electron's local application storage. It makes no network requests. Exporting a backup creates a human-readable JSON file at a location you choose.
