About Lumowrite

Lumowrite is your space to think things through. Without pressure or perfection.

It's not a note-taking app, but an app for writing out your ideas and thoughts. For processing emotions, working through decisions, or simply letting your mind wander onto the page.

Think of it as having a conversation with yourself - except instead of your thoughts bouncing around in your head, they get to stretch out and breathe on the screen.

Start by setting the timer and just write freely. Don't focus on grammar or structure. Just about getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page.

There's no right way to do it. You can:

• Dump your thoughts when you're overwhelmed
• Talk through a decision you're facing
• Vent about something that's bothering you
• Explore an idea that's been nagging at you
• Just see what comes up when you start typing

No backspace. No editing. Just flow.

Once you've written, you can reflect on your thoughts with ChatGPT if you want.

The AI might:

• Reflect on what you wrote
• Ask questions to help you see things more clearly
• Offer suggestions or frameworks to move forward
• Simply be a thoughtful companion to your thoughts

It's like having a friend who really listens - someone who can help you untangle what you're thinking and feeling.

If you're not sure what to write, start with a simple question:

• What's on my mind right now?
• What's something I'm grateful for today?
• What do I wish I could say out loud?
• What's feeling heavy... or light?
• If I were being honest with myself, I'd say...

Still stuck? Just start with "I don't know what to write..." and go from there.

Let it be messy, honest, quiet, surprising, fun... whatever you need it to be.

The magic happens when you stop trying to write "well" and just write honestly. When you let your thoughts exist without judgment.

Sometimes you'll discover things you didn't know you were thinking. Sometimes you'll work through problems just by getting them out of your head. Sometimes you'll just feel lighter afterward.

That's the point.

Your writings are stored only on your device:

• Everything stays in your browser's local storage
• Nothing is sent to servers unless you choose to use ChatGPT
• Your thoughts remain private by default
• If you clear your browser data, your writings will be lost (so export what matters)

This approach prioritizes your privacy, but means your writings won't sync between different devices or browsers. We think that's a fair trade.

Lumowrite is open source because we believe tools for thinking should be transparent and community-owned.

You can see exactly how it works, contribute improvements, or even run your own version. The code lives on GitHub.

If you find this helpful, consider starring the repository or sharing it with other writers who might need a quiet space to think.
