Your personal productivity OS

A calm place for deep work, planning, journaling and review. It follows the light of your day, from first plan to last look back.

The Northward dashboard at midday: a focus session in progress, today's priorities, goals and this week's hours.

Every screen on this page is the real app, running on sample data.

Dawn · Plan

Before the day gets loud, write down what matters: three priorities and the hours you mean to give them. In the evening the same page asks what went well and what to change tomorrow.

How the journal works
The Journal page: three morning priorities and planned hours on the left, an evening reflection and day rating on the right.

Day · Focus

Pick a scene, name the task and begin. The sun climbs, a candle burns down, a sprout grows a leaf. Pause, take a break or finish when you are done. Every 25 minutes there is a soft glow, never an alarm.

Inside a focus session
The Focus page: the Sunrise scene beside a running timer, with scene, music and chime controls.

03:00

  • Sunrise

    A sun climbs over the horizon as you focus.

  • Lamplight

    A candle burns slowly down.

  • Bloom

    A sprout grows a leaf every 10 minutes.

  • Tide

    Calm water rises with your progress.

  • Halo

    A quiet ring of light.

Dusk · Review

Hours by day, the work you gave the most time to, and your own words from the journal, on one page. A lower number is only a lower number. Nothing here turns red.

Weekly and monthly reviews
The Weekly review at dusk: focus hours, sessions, top category and a chart of hours by day.

  • Catch a thought

    Log an activity, a reflection, a quick note or a brain dump straight from the dashboard.

  • Goals with a number

    Give a goal a target and a date, then watch the bar fill as you go.

  • Sound, if you want it

    Background music for a session and a soft chime. Both are yours to switch on or off.

  • Jump anywhere

    A command palette searches pages and actions, so the next thing is a few keys away.

  • Installs like an app

    Add Northward to your desktop or home screen from the browser. It opens in its own window.

  • Your data leaves with you

    Export everything you have written as a file from Settings, whenever you like.

Night · Rest

Northward follows your clock. As evening comes the whole app dims to lamplight, so the last screen you look at is easy on your eyes. You can also pin it to light or dark.
