# Harbor Notes — Launch Brief

## What Harbor Notes Is (Proposed)

Harbor Notes is a **fictional** calm, focused note-taking surface built around a harbor metaphor. Every feature below is **proposed**, not shipped.

- **Ships are notes.** Each note is a vessel that docks in your harbor.
- **Docks are collections.** Group related ships by project, topic, or mood.
- **The lighthouse is search.** A single beam finds any note across every dock.
- **Tides are capture.** Quick, low-friction entry so no thought is lost at sea.

## The Promise

A safe harbor for your thoughts — capture fast, find anything, and keep your mind clear.

## Illustrative Milestones

All milestones are illustrative. No calendar dates are set.

- **Weeks 1–2 — Validate the concept.** Test whether the harbor metaphor makes capture feel effortless.
- **Weeks 3–4 — Refine capture and search.** Tighten quick-entry flow and sharpen the lighthouse search.
- **Weeks 5–8 — Polish and soft launch.** Smooth rough edges and open to an early, limited audience.

## Audience (Proposed)

- Writers and researchers juggling scattered notes.
- People who lose ideas before they can file them.
- Anyone seeking a calmer alternative to busy, cluttered note tools.

## Key Messages

1. **Drop anchor, not your ideas.** Capture in seconds.
2. **Every note finds its dock.** Organization that feels natural.
3. **One beam finds it all.** Search that never loses a thought.

## Success Metrics

No unsupported customer metrics are set. Placeholder metrics to define later:

- **[Placeholder]** Activation rate after first session.
- **[Placeholder]** Time from capture to first search.
- **[Placeholder]** Weekly retention of active docks.
- **[Placeholder]** Qualitative signal from soft-launch feedback.

## Status

Harbor Notes is **fictional and pre-launch**. Everything above is proposed direction, not a record of shipped functionality.
