Mat & Margin

A private yoga practice journal

Keep the practice. Leave the feed.

Mat & Margin is a local-first iPhone journal for the ordinary continuity of practice: a familiar class, a few minutes on your own mat, an optional reflection, and room for intentional rest.

Development preview

A place for the mat and the margin.

These are design previews of the product direction, not App Store screenshots. The working app is being hardened around the same quiet, editorial system.

Today brings the next gentle action forward without turning practice into a score.

The core loop

Plan. Practice. Note what matters. Return when you’re ready.

01

Keep familiar practice easy

Save a studio class or personal-practice template so a repeat session takes only a few deliberate actions to log.

02

Make room for rest

Intentional Rest is a positive entry in the calendar and Journey—not a broken streak or a missed obligation.

03

Review your own record

Calendar and Journey show the minutes and entries you made. No rankings, average-score claims, or causal wellness conclusions.

A different product posture

Built for a practice, not an attention economy.

Local-first

Practice records stay on the phone. The app does not require an account, a feed, or developer-operated sync.

Non-punitive

Nothing is withheld for missing a day. Acknowledgements mark what has happened without points, ranks, or access gates.

Specific, not medical

Optional reflections remain personal notes. Mat & Margin does not diagnose, treat, or make claims about outcomes.

Study Hall

Reading beside the practice.

A small shelf of attributed historical editions is designed to be used, not treated as an infinite content library. Bundled text and on-device read-aloud remain available offline; an optional public-domain recording is clearly marked as a network-required external stream.

Initial release posture: United States only. Every title, translation, transcription, and recording remains subject to a territory-specific rights review.

Release status

Design is settling. The release is still being earned.

Mat & Margin is in active development. Before public App Store availability, the name, launch territory, content rights, signed build, privacy labels, and accessibility review must each pass their own gate.
