What It Is
ClarityHub is a small helper that runs inside your browser. It has four tools: one for writing, one for sorting work, one for seeing your days, and one for journaling. It never sends your data anywhere — it keeps it inside your computer.
How It Works (simple view)
- You open the App.
- The page becomes a control room with four buttons on top.
- You click the tab you need — Notes, Matrix, Calendar, or Journal.
- You do your work, and save it.
Browser support
- Chromium (desktop): Full File System Access (connect folders, open/save, autosave). Speech input is optional.
- Firefox/Safari: Limited mode. Notes open via file picker and save via “Download .md”. Files left panel is hidden.
- Mobile (iOS/Android): Works in limited mode. No directory access.
Important: If you clear browser cookies or site data, your
saved tasks, events, and journal disappear. Always press Backup
to save a copy (
.json) before clearing anything.
Notes & Files
This is like your notebook shelf.
- Click + Connect Folder → choose a folder on your computer (Chromium desktop).
-
Open, read, and edit
.mdor.txtfiles inside it. Make new files or rename existing ones. - Use Ctrl + S to save. Autosave also runs after edits.
- Type on the left and see live Markdown preview on the right: headings, bold/italic/strike, lists, quotes, code blocks, links.
- Outline pane lists your headings. Drag any heading to reorder that whole section in the document.
- Export PDF uses your browser’s print-to-PDF.
- Dictation is available where supported (WebKit speech).
- In limited mode, use Open (file picker) and Download .md to save.
The Eisenhower Matrix
Sort your chores into four boxes:
- Do now — urgent + important.
- Plan — not urgent + important.
- Delegate — urgent + not important.
- Ignore — neither urgent nor important.
Click inside any box to add a task. Set a due date or mark it done with ✓. Done tasks fade and drop. Everything persists locally.
Calendar
Month grid with simple events.
- Use ◀ or ▶ to move between months. Today jumps back.
- Add events with title, date, time, and notes.
- Repeat options: daily ×10 or weekly ×10.
- Edit or delete by clicking an event badge.
- Export/import calendar via
.ics.
Journal
A diary per date. Pick a day, write in Markdown, and it stays saved for that date.
- Pick a day with the date picker.
- Write using Markdown. Optional side-by-side preview.
- Click Save when done. Entries are stored locally.
Backup and Restore
-
Press Backup → downloads
ps_backup_YYYY-MM-DD.json. - Keep that file safe — it includes tasks, events, and journal.
- To restore, press Restore and select that file.
What Stays Safe When You Clear Cookies
- Your actual files and folders on disk stay safe.
- App memory (tasks, journal, calendar) vanishes unless you backed it up.
- You’ll reconnect folders next time.
Limitations (the fine print)
- Full file features require desktop Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave). Firefox/Safari run in limited mode.
- No online sync or multi-device storage.
- Calendar repeats limited to daily ×10 or weekly ×10.
- Markdown renderer is minimal: no tables, no syntax highlighting.
- No global search yet.
- Backups are plain JSON, unencrypted. Treat them as private.
More Notes
-
State is stored in
localStorageandIndexedDB. -
Folder access uses the
File System Access API(where supported). - No telemetry, no network requests.
- Single-file app, loads fast, works offline after first load.
Privacy & data
- No servers, no tracking. Logic runs client-side.
- Back up or migrate using Backup/Restore in the header.
- In limited mode, use “Open” (file picker) and “Download .md” to save.
