silay

the problem: I'd open my notes app, stare at it, close it, and not come back for 3 weeks. ideas weren't the issue, momentum was.

what I built (Vates):

a daily streak that tracks writing days, because apparently I have zero willpower but infinite guilt when a flame icon is about to reset

a daily prompt for the days my brain gives me absolutely nothing

select any word → instant definition + synonyms, no more alt-tabbing to a dictionary site and losing my train of thought

one place for a story's chapters, characters, and world/plot notes, instead of a doc + a notes app + a random Google sheet

clean, distraction-free editor, nothing trying to sell you a "pro plan" mid-sentence

it's free, no ads, I'm not selling anyone's data, I just wanted the thing to exist and figured other people drowning in abandoned WIPs might want it too.
