Momentum
Daily planning and reflection app — priorities, energy focus, weekly review, syncs into your Obsidian vault.
The problem
Most daily planners optimize for tasks, but the harder problem is picking the right two or three things in the first place and then matching them to the energy you actually have that day. Once the day is over, the plan needs to land somewhere durable rather than vanishing into a SaaS that you'll cancel in six months, because the value of a daily plan compounds over years and not days.
The solution
Momentum is a web app that walks me through a small daily ritual: pick the day's priorities, pick the energy focus, work through the day, and then close it out with a plan scorecard and a weekly review. The daily plan itself is written in the app, but it doesn't live there forever — a separate skill called momentum-sync pulls every plan since the last sync into the matching Obsidian daily note, so the durable record sits in my vault rather than a vendor's database. A prayer card with rotating passages anchors the morning so the first thing on the screen isn't a task list.
