+# Simple Mercies
+
+Notice the good. Do some good.
+
+A small, quiet Android app with three parts:
+
+- **The Jar.** Write down one good thing a day and drop it in a glass jar that fills with paper slips. Shake your phone (or tap the jar) to pull out an old one. Browse everything by month.
+- **Kindness.** One small kindness to try each day: Done, Another, or "Not today, and that's all right." No streaks. Every kindness you finish is kept.
+- **Prayers.** Write a prayer and who it's for, then send it to them with one tap as a text or as a linen-and-flowers picture. Mark prayers answered and keep a record of how.
+
+Linen, rose and sage backgrounds with pressed flowers, a Dusk night mode, IM Fell English and EB Garamond type, and square buttons. Home screen widget for today's kindness, optional evening and morning reminders, and a plain-text export of everything you've written.
+
+No account, no ads, no tracking, no internet permission.
+
+## Install
+
+Grab `SimpleMercies-1.0.apk` from this repo and open it on your phone.
+
+## Building
+
+Release builds need `mercies.keystore` in the project root (not included here), then `gradle assembleRelease`. `tools/linen.py` regenerates the linen and pressed-flower artwork.
