Your day,
quietly near.

Diwan is a Windows side-window daily planner. It opens straight onto today, gently carries forward what's left, and stays beautiful enough to want to return to.

Quiet powers

Built for a daily ritual.

Diwan keeps the small ceremonies of a good day close at hand — without the bloat of a kitchen-sink productivity app.

Always carried forward

Anything not done before today shows up in a calm triage view. Nothing falls through the cracks, nothing piles up out of sight.

Focus blocks

Sprint, Pomodoro, Deep, or Marathon — pick the shape of the work, watch a breathing ring, leave with a short reflection.

Habit streaks

Daily, weekday, or weekly cadences. Streak flames, 7-day strips, and a longest-ever number for the days that need a nudge.

Glance widgets

Clock, weather, CPU and RAM — the lightweight gadgets idea, brought back and tucked into the corner where it always belonged.

A year of notes

Every daily note folds into an archive you can scroll through like a journal. Past Augusts are one keystroke away.

Mood & stats

A simple mood pick on each day grows into a trail. Completion bars and focus minutes give the week its shape.

Local-first

Your workspace lives at %LocalAppData%\Diwan\workspace.json — plain text, yours, portable, no account required.

Eight accent palettes

Pick the color that matches your week. Theme, surface palette, and animation level are all in Settings.

Side-window first

Docks against either edge. Stays out of the way of your real work, slides in when you press a global hotkey.

Ready when you are

A day that's yours,
all in one panel.

Free for Windows. Download the latest build and Diwan will open on today, with two starter tasks and a fresh daily note.
