It's hard to find time to journal, but easy to lose hours on your phone.
It's time to take that time back.
TIME THIEF generates randomized writing prompts to help you jump in and write.
Write as little or as much as you'd like — don't overthink it.
To get the most out of TIME THIEF, open it when you catch yourself wasting time.
Tip: Try replacing an app on your home screen you reach for when you're bored.
Your journal is stored locally and never leaves your device.
TIME THIEF does not collect behavioral data.
TIME THIEF is distributed as a Progressive Web App. In your browser of choice, you can install it to your home screen or desktop. Because TIME THIEF stores your journal on your own device, it does not require an internet connection to run.
It depends on the time of day, prompts you've seen recently, and what you've written (some prompts build on past ones). Under the hood, there's an extensible rule system which determines which prompts you see. In the future, this will be customizable.
TIME THIEF is under active development. Its core feature set is fairly robust, but there will be occasional bugs and major changes ahead.
TIME THIEF is a personal project by Max Goodhart.
Stop by the Discord and say hello! I'd love to hear all about it.
