I built a tiny daemon that reminds me what matters

2•amitdawar•1h ago
I didn’t want another app, notification, or dashboard. I wanted a subtle daily reminder through something I already look at all the time — my desktop.

So I built a small local-first daemon that updates the wallpaper once a day with a message aligned to my goals.

Would love feedback.
