Welcome. These companion tools are designed to support the practices in Start Anywhere: begin with attention, reduce with intention, and persist through return.

🟠 The Vestibule Engage

Begin where you are. Write before you’re ready.

A quiet writing space for 15 minutes of unpolished work: show up, write, save. (Pasting may be disabled by design.)

Enter The Vestibule →

🔴 Turn Reduce

Commit to one promise. Track it. Reflect over time.

A minimalist tool for follow-through—one meaningful commitment at a time. Mark a Turn as “Turned” when it’s done with intention.

Open Turn →

🟢 Circles of Change Persist

Name one small shift. Track it. See what emerges over time.

A reflective growth tracker built around cycles and check-ins—because change spirals, not climbs.

Notes on data, backups, and updates

These tools aim to keep things simple and private. Because data is typically stored on your device, clearing browser data or using a different device may remove your entries.

If an app includes an export feature, use it occasionally to keep a personal archive.
