Day to day
Thirty seconds a day. That's the whole ask.
Press, talk, tap. A few times a day, for a month. Here is what that buys you.
Fig. 4.1 – one month, actual size
The bottom row never grows – it is the same thirty seconds, forever. The top row does.
The same month, three different people.
Nothing below is configured. The shape under the line is just how that person happens to talk.
“I can’t tell if I’m actually getting anywhere.”

You sleep badly the night after every decision you postpone. Not the hard ones – the ones you had already made.day 28 · written because a focus was set
“Ideas arrive in bursts, and they have a short lifespan.”

Knowing what to do was never the problem. Nine of the twelve things you swore you’d do, you said out loud after 11pm.day 28
“I ramble. I want to say it sharper.”
Fig. 4.4 – One long note, a few times a week
You explain the same decision three different ways depending on who is in the room. The version you tell your partner is the one you believe.day 28

The Action Button
Squeeze it, speak, lock the phone. No app to open – which is the difference between a habit and an intention.

Install it, or just type
- Add Notka to your home screen – it opens straight into the microphone.
- On a train or in an open-plan office, typing gets the same letters – and it is unlimited on the free plan.
- Say “focus on my sleep for a while” mid-note and every letter after that keeps an honest eye on it – the coral marks in the first month above. How a focus works →
When things arrive.
- Daily7am your local time – never between 10pm and 6am, wherever you are
- WeeklyThe start of the next week, written out of that week’s letters
- Monthly and upThe 1st – quarterly in January, April, July, October – and only when there is enough underneath it
No streaks, no badges, no empty-state guilt. A thin week produces a short letter – that is the correct behaviour, not a degraded one.
Try it before you decide anything.
Free plan, no card. Thirty seconds is enough to see the shape of it.
