Runtime Consider

Philosophy

Runtime Consider is a desktop app made to record reality, not to plan your day.

Each day is like a log entry: once written, it can't be changed. The app doesn't try to motivate you or make you more productive—it only reflects what really happened.

Empty days aren't failures; they're just part of the record. Think of it less like a to‑do list and more like a system log or Git commit history.

Its design is plain and serious, so the focus stays on truth, not decoration. Success means staying honest over time, not adding features or chasing engagement.

How it Works

1. Open app
2. Write what happened today
3. Commit (irreversible)

No edits. No revisions. No comfort.

Technical

Electron + TypeScript
Local-first architecture
Append-only data model
Zero cloud dependencies

Roadmap

The roadmap for Runtime Consider is intentionally short. The first phase is conceptual clarity: defining the philosophy, unnecessary features, and limitations.

The next phase is the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), consisting only of local storage, daily input, changelogs, and a history view.

Success is measured by maintaining loyalty after months of use, not by user growth or engagement metrics. If it takes longer than the four days focused on this, the scope of work will have changed.
