Mantra

A tiny macOS widget for the words you live by.

Write one line — an affirmation, a goal, a reminder of what matters — and it sits right there on your desktop and in Notification Center. No accounts, no clutter, nothing to configure.

A medium-size Mantra widget rendered in the Sunrise theme, reading “Do the hard thing first” in bold rounded text on a yellow-to-orange gradient.

Write it.

Type your mantra into a tiny editor — the text area is the live preview, exactly as it will appear.

See it.

It lives right on your desktop and in Notification Center, so it's there every time you look.

Live it.

Six opinionated themes, no color pickers — every one of them already looks good.

What you write is what you see.

The editor is the live preview — the exact words, theme, and size you pick land on the widget the instant you type them.

The Mantra editor window in the Sunrise theme, with the mantra “Do the hard thing first” typed in — this is the live preview as you type.
A medium Mantra widget in the Sunrise theme showing the same words, “Do the hard thing first” — exactly what's in the editor, with nothing extra to configure.

Six themes. Zero decisions.

Fixed presets, not a color picker — pick one and it always looks right, in light mode or dark.

Rise anyway. Sunrise
Stay grounded. Paper
Just breathe. Mint
Dream bigger. Sky
Let it go. Dusk
Trust the process. Midnight
