Catch a line, a quote or a photo the moment it comes, give it a #tag, and find every fragment on that theme waiting on one page when you sit down to write.
Svetlina is a notebook, journal and task list for people who write. Catch a phrase, a quote or a photo the moment it comes, give it a #tag, and when you sit down to write, every fragment on that theme waits for you on one page.
It isn't another second brain to build and maintain. You don't plan a structure first: tags sort as you go, nested tags like #novel/chapter-2 give you a hierarchy when you want one, and pages hold your drafts and projects.
Work with fragments the way writers do
• A page for every #tag gathers everything tagged with it, from all your days and pages
• Search as you type; # finds tags
• Your Library keeps your pages beside a page for every #tag
Tasks and routines, simply
• Tasks with reminders and repeats
• Routines that start fresh every morning
• Today, with your plan for the day
Capture in a moment
• A line, or a photo with a caption and a #tag
• Straight from the app icon
The phone is the field, the Mac is the desk
• On the Mac, Svetlina keeps your notebook as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, with your fragments beside the page while you write
• Pair your iPhone and your Mac once with a QR code; they sync directly over your Wi‑Fi, encrypted end to end
• No account, no server, no other service to install
• A notebook you start on the iPhone can move to a Mac that has none, and from then on the two keep it the same
Private by design
• No ads, no tracking, no cloud
• Works offline; that's the normal state
Made by one person in the Czech Republic who writes in Svetlina every day.
