Why Speed Matters
Most journal apps fail not because of missing features, but because of friction. Every second of delay between "I should write this down" and actually typing is a chance for the thought to slip away.
At the Speed of Life eliminates that friction. Launch to cursor in under 100ms. No loading screens. No sign-in prompts. No syncing indicators. Just you and your thoughts.
The result? You'll actually use it. Daily journaling becomes effortless when the barrier is essentially zero.
