One Line a Day widget for Windows
One line a day is a low enough bar to actually clear. The widget shows you what you wrote on this day in previous years, which is the part that makes the habit worth keeping. Turn on AI enhancements and it will summarise your week or month for you; point it at a local Ollama model and none of it leaves your machine. Like every AI feature in the dashboard, it is off until you switch it on, per widget.
