Section II — The Departments

Four
Departments.
One Logbook.

Every day flows through the same four bureaus. Dictated stamps each one onto a single page so nothing falls between the cracks of a dozen specialist apps.

Dept. I / IV

Move

Activity · Steps · Output

Your daily step mandate, the week's output, every endeavor logged with hatched precision.

  • Step quota & progress
  • Weekly bar ledger
  • Workout entries
Dept. II / IV

Fuel

Nutrition · Rations · Macros

Calories as allotment. Macros as ration. Hydration as brigade. The body, fortified by directive.

  • Caloric allotment
  • Macro rationing
  • Hydration brigade
Dept. III / IV

Vital

Health · Readiness · Heart

A readiness index for the working frame. Sleep, heart, HRV, weight — all stamped, all in one place.

  • Readiness gauge
  • Heart in the hour
  • Mood of the people
Dept. IV / IV

Coffer

Finance · Reserves · Ledger

Reserves remaining. Sectors allocated. Today's ledger and the long arc of the five-year plan.

  • Monthly reserves
  • Sector allocations
  • The 5-year plan
“
The body is the people's machine. The day is its labor. The logbook is how we keep faith with both.

Section III — The Numbers, Stamped

Less Software.
More Logbook.

No social feed. No streak-anxiety dopamine machine. No data broker on the other end of the wire. Just a small, sharp tool for filing the day.

Section IV — The Procedure

File the
Day in
Three Stamps.

Dictated borrows nothing from the modern tracker's anxious choreography. You open the book. You make a mark. You close it.

The central star opens the report sheet. Pick the department — Move, Fuel, Vital, or Coffer — and you're at the form in one tap.

Section V — Anatomy of a Page

Hatched.
Stamped.
Tabular.

Every page is a stamped sheet. Mandate at the top. Directive in italic serif. Output below in hatched bars. Hard rules between.

A Page You Can Read at a Glance.

A poster, not a dashboard. The mandate is large; the directive is plain; the week's output is a row of hatched bars. Nothing flashes. Nothing confettis. The page says what is, and you close it.

01
Oswald for mandates & quotas, tabular numerals throughout
02
Plex Mono for the stamp-band, kickers, every small label
03
Plex Serif italic for the directives — the day's words
04
Hatched fills on every bar, button, progress mark
05
Hard edges, ink rules, paper texture — no soft modern gloss
06
Four palettes — Crimson, Harvest, Forest, Ink — shipped at launch

Section VI — Inquiries

Questions,
Briefly Answered.

File the form below for further inquiries. Plain answers, plainly stamped.

01On Premises

Does my data leave the device?

No. Dictated runs on-device by default and reads only what HealthKit hands over. No accounts. No cloud ledger. If you back up, the iPhone backup carries it.

02On Cost

Is it really free? Where's the catch?

Free. No premium tier, no in-app subscriptions, no ads. We would rather ship a small honest tool than rent your day back to you in monthly installments.

03On Devices

What about Android, Watch, web?

iPhone first, with iPad support at launch. Apple Watch complication is in the queue. Android and a web companion are on the roadmap, in that order, when the iOS book is fully bound.

04On Voice

What's with the "Logbook of the People" tone?

It's a stylistic register, not a politics. The propaganda-poster voice keeps the app small and pointed — and reminds you the mandate is yours, signed by you, in your own hand.

05On Imports

Will it pull my existing data?

Steps, heart, sleep, HRV, weight — straight from HealthKit, with your permission. Finance is manual at launch; bank connections come in a later cycle, opt-in only.

06On Languages

Which languages are supported?

English, 中文 (Simplified), and 日本語 ship at v1.0. The kickers stay English-monospaced on every locale — they're part of the visual system, not the copy.
