Seasons shows what you were writing at this time of year in other years, by the Japanese microseasons, and at this time of day.

Climate

Daily notes by number of words written

When notes were started

Climate maps when you write and how much: every daily note on a calendar, and the hours you start new ones.

Terrain

Your notes by size, colored by how recently you edited them.

Terrain lays out every note as land, sized by its words, warm where you’ve been lately. Zoom in for the names.

Planets turns a note into a small world, with the notes that echo it as moons. Drag one onto the planet to link them.
