ichido - A space for honest reflection

Welcome to ichido

A space for honest reflection.

How It Works

Start Writing: Click anywhere and begin. The interface disappears.
Forward-Only Flow: Once you press spacebar, the word turns gray and becomes part of the past. You cannot edit it. This keeps you in the present moment.
Focus on Now: You can only see the last two lines, keeping you focused on what's next.
Automatic Saving: Every word is saved automatically. Click "New" to start fresh. Your reflections are always safe in Archives.

What is ichido?

ichido (一度) means "once" in Japanese. It reflects the core idea: write authentically, without the temptation to revise. Like a single brushstroke, each reflection is a unique moment.

This space works for anyone:

Daily intention setting
Gratitude practice
Prayer or meditation journaling
Dialogue with what you hold sacred
Freewriting without self-censorship

About ichido

A minimalist space for honest reflection.

Core Philosophy

Presence over perfection. When you can't edit, you can't perform. The inability to revise creates space for authentic expression.

ichido (一度, "once") enforces forward-only writing. Completed words become immutable. This constraint frees you from constant revision and keeps you present.
