You finish a session, but the work isn't finished. The next move is right there in your head — and then the timer ends, the day moves on, and tomorrow you sit back down to that same task and spend the first ten minutes remembering where you were.

The research has a name for that cost. Leaving a task in an unresolved state leaves attention residue — a measurable drag on whatever you do next. The fix isn't more discipline. It's a clean handoff from your past self to your future one.

So we built Thread.

When a session ends on an open task, the same small overlay that asks how it felt now asks one more quiet thing: Still on this? Keep going, and you leave a single line — the next step, in your own words, while the context is still warm. One keystroke, then back to your day. Nothing to manage, nothing to file.

That line waits where you'll need it. It sits as a soft mark under the task in your planner, so the open loop stays visible without shouting. And when you start that task again, it greets you under the timer — Last time: … — the exact thought you had at the moment you knew it best, handed back at the moment you'd otherwise have forgotten it.

It stays out of the way by design. No thread, no prompt. It never appears during a break — rest is rest. And it lives entirely inside the moment you already pass through, never as one more thing to open.

#What changed

The closure beat — after the feeling check, an open linked task asks "Still on this?" — Done or Keep going, fully keyboard-driven
One line, warm context — capture the next step the instant you stop, when you still know it; saved to the task, synced across devices
A quiet planner mark — ↳ your next step under the task, visible but never loud
Active recall — re-take the task and the line returns under the timer, Last time: …, exactly when you need it
Fires on skips too — abandoning a task mid-stream is the most unresolved state of all, so the beat is there as well
Yours to silence — a single setting, on by default, off whenever you like; never during a break

The work of a life is made of many particles. Thread is how one quietly hands off to the next.
