Three lines.
Then dusk.
Duskling is a minimalist evening journal built on a single gentle rule: three short lines about your day, then you're done. No streaks, no feed, no nagging — under a minute a day.

Why I built Duskling
I love the idea of journaling, but every app I tried felt like an obligation. They asked me to log 15 different mood metrics, bombarded me with notifications to 'keep my streak alive', and made me feel guilty whenever life got busy.
One night, tired of staring at a blinking cursor on a blank page, I made myself a rule: write just three short lines before turning off the bedside lamp.
Suddenly, journaling was enjoyable again. Duskling is that exact practice codified into an app: warm, quiet, private, and requiring less than sixty seconds before sleep.
