skribliothe banana, on mac.
it's a small one that sits at the edge of your screen. click write and a cream page opens, and save puts it in the same vault as the phone. it isn't a second journal.
it's included in both plans, and it needs the phone app.
you've gone quiet, and i'm getting ideas.write
how it pairs
- one
install
open the download. the banana appears in the menu bar and sits in a corner of the screen. drag it anywhere.
- two
a code on the phone
in the app go to you, then pair a computer, then make a code. it's six characters and it's good for ten minutes.
- three
type it once
the computer keeps a key, the phone keeps a list of computers you can remove. from then on it knows if you wrote today.
a day with it
- when you've written, it stands there with one pixel of breathing and nothing else.
- after two quiet days it starts getting ideas and, once or twice, slides in with one line.
- after four it packs a bag. after five it's out, and the phone tells a friend if you set that up.
- click it and a small cream panel opens with the line and one button, write. a cream page opens on the computer, and save puts it in the vault.
on the screen
my bag is packed and this is going to be fun.write
needs
- macos12 or later
- chipapple silicon, this first build
- sizeabout 7 mb
- signingit isn't signed yet, so chrome will say the download is damaged when it isn't. in terminal run xattr -c ~/Downloads/skriblio.dmg and open it again
it won't
- it makes no sound, never bounces, and shows no badge counts.
- never moves across the screen on its own.
- it never lists the vault, and a page you type there saves with the rest.
this page is here early so the link in the app has somewhere to point. the download switches on the day the build is signed. there's also a windows version.
