Not therapy, a social network, or a task manager. Kaen is a small tool for meeting one thought clearly.
01 · Reset
A thought enters. Something useful leaves.
Write what keeps circling, name how it feels, and choose the response that fits: release, clarify, decide, unload the night, or make one next step.
✓A short guided flow
✓Writing that stays private
✓A clear ending instead of an endless chat
Reset
02 · Journal
A record that explains itself.
Every entry keeps the original thought beside the response you chose. Pin important entries, search across your writing, and open a full view whenever you need the context.
✓Pinned and recent entries
✓Search by thought, feeling, or response
✓Export and import your data
Journal
03 · Next steps
Make the useful part visible.
Choose Do one thing during a reset and write one small action. It is saved in Journal. With Ember, act on it directly from Today or open Next steps in Journal: mark it done, set an optional reminder, or reopen it.
✓Actions stay connected to their entry
✓Mark done or set a local reminder
✓No separate task system to maintain
Next steps
04 · Decision Compass
More than two ways forward.
With Ember, name the decision and add the options you are actually considering. Write what each protects, then review them together. Choose now, or save the decision open and return from Journal when you are ready.
An Ember ritual for the unfinished thought that follows you into the evening. Name what is still on your mind, write why it can wait, and optionally leave yourself a gentle place to begin tomorrow. Your words stay in Journal.
Give a reminder a name, choose a time, and repeat it on the days that suit you. Night Unload has its own evening time and switch. Turn any reminder off whenever you need more quiet.
✓Named one-time or repeating reminders
✓A separate Night Unload invitation
✓Custom reminders run even after a reset

07 · Trends
Patterns without performance.
See when resets happen, which feelings recur, and which responses help most across four or twelve weeks. Trends are descriptive—never a grade.
✓Time-of-day and feeling patterns
✓Four- and twelve-week views
✓No streaks or public scores

08 · Data

Kaen works without an account or Firebase-style backend. Keep everything on-device, export a file, or enable an optional backup provider controlled by you.
✓No Kaen account required
✓Import and export
✓Optional iCloud or file-provider backup
