No folders
Pages settle by day, like entries in a diary. Search finds anything later. Filing is a chore you'll never do again.
Kado holds one line in front of you and keeps the rest of the world off the page. No feeds, no folders, no red dots. Write the thought. Set it down. Take the next.

Mostly subtraction.
Every notes app adds something. Kado takes things away. What's left is a page, a cursor, and the thought you came with.
02
No feed
Nothing on the page moves unless you move it. Yesterday sits below the fold, where it belongs.
03
No badges
Kado never asks you to come back. No streaks, no dots, no guilt. The page is patient and it doesn't keep score.
kept
It types, it rests, it lets go. Yours will wait as long as you need.
間 · ma · the interval
The space between isn't empty.
Rests make the music. Doorways make the room. The pause between one thought and the next is where the good one shows up. Kado is built around that pause.
A day on the page.
This is the whole interface. A date, the lines you kept, and one gate at the bottom for whatever comes next. There's nothing to learn and nothing to manage.
