Daybreak

Wipe the morning before it owns you. A Windows app that takes over your screen at first login, surfaces yesterday's unfinished business, asks for today's three commitments, and will not get out of your way until you have physically wiped every item: commit, defer, or kill.

• Windows desktop - $19 one-time, v1 maintenance updates, no subscription
• Local-only: no account, no cloud, no telemetry
• Ship-or-die cycle 2 - built in public

Monorepo

Workspace	What it is
packages/core	Pure domain logic (wipe machine, carry-over, streak, commit validation)
desktop	Electron app, esbuild bundle, consumes @daybreak/core
site	Next.js static landing page to GitHub Pages
scripts	Launch and readiness verifiers

Develop

npm install
npm start                # build and run the Electron app locally
npm run check            # lint + test + build (all workspaces)
npm run dev:desktop      # run the Electron app locally
npm run dev:site         # run the landing page locally
npm run verify:readiness # honest launch-blocker report
npm run verify:local-only # desktop no-telemetry guard
npm run verify:pages-health # GitHub Pages DNS/cert health
npm run verify:release   # installer checksum + signing/timestamp preflight

Launch locally

For development, run from the repo root:

npm start

For the packaged Windows build, run the packaged app directly after npm run package -w @daybreak/desktop:

& "desktop\release\win-unpacked\Daybreak.exe"

Do not rely on a global electron command; Electron is installed as a workspace dev dependency and is launched through npm scripts or the packaged executable.

Status

See docs/COMPLETION.md for the honest completion ledger and docs/PREMORTEM.md for the launch-hardening premortem: what is real and verified vs. what is still blocked (Stripe link, signed and timestamped hosted installer, first real sale). No fabricated proof appears anywhere in this project by policy (AGENTS.md). For the exact local files Daybreak writes and the manual delete/backup path, see docs/LOCAL_DATA.md.

Domain: daybreak.rest (purchased on Namecheap; apex and www DNS resolve to GitHub Pages, the Pages custom domain is attached, and HTTPS is live).
