What This Looks Like at the End of a Workday
No setup. No decisions. Just one place to unload what’s still looping.
Capture what your mind is still holding…
See patterns without judgment…
Notice what changes when work actually ends…
Why Relaxing Doesn’t Stop Work Thoughts
Distraction soothes the body. Closure quiets the mind.
The Problem
After work, your brain is still holding unresolved threads: things unsaid, decisions unfinished, conversations replayed. Until those loose ends are acknowledged, your mind keeps looping them — even while you’re scrolling, watching TV, or lying in bed.
The Missing Step
Writing those unfinished thoughts down gives your brain a place to put them. Once they’re externalized, your mind no longer needs to rehearse them. That’s what creates real mental closure.
Why Clock Out Works
It doesn’t help you forget work. It helps your brain finish it.
For Your Work
- Stop replaying meetings and conversations after work
- Start the next day without yesterday’s mental residue
- Notice which work patterns drain or energize you
- Respond with clarity instead of carrying stress forward
For Your Evenings
- Actually disconnect when work ends
- Be present instead of mentally elsewhere
- Fall asleep without work looping in your head
- Stop thinking about work at night
How Clock Out Works (In 5 Minutes)
Done right after work — before your evening begins.
1. When Work Ends
Open Clock Out when you shut your laptop or leave work. You’ll get one focused prompt designed to surface what your brain is still holding onto.
2. Unload the Loop
Write freely for five minutes. No fixing, no analyzing — just getting lingering thoughts out of your head and onto the page.
3. Mark the Day Complete
Finish with a short closing reflection that signals to your brain that the workday is over.
Why This Works Better Than a Notes App
The difference isn’t writing — it’s giving your brain a clear place to stop.
Writing in Notes
- Blank page every time
- No clear start or end
- Easy to spiral or overwrite
- No patterns or weekly perspective
Clock Out
- One prompt at the right moment
- A 5-minute container (then it ends)
- A closing reflection that signals completion
- Weekly summaries that reveal patterns
What Clock Out Is — and Isn’t
Clear expectations build trust.
Clock Out Is For
- People who can’t stop thinking about work after hours
- Those who replay conversations or decisions at night
- Anyone who wants a clear mental end to the workday
Clock Out Is Not
- Long-form journaling or therapy
- Meditation or breathing exercises
- Deep self-analysis or productivity tracking

FAQ
A few quick answers before you try it.
Is this therapy?
No. Clock Out is a short daily reflection ritual — not therapy, diagnosis, or mental health treatment.
What if I don’t know what to write?
You get one prompt. Most people start with a single sentence and keep going naturally from there.
Do you store or analyze my entries?
No. Your entries stay on your device unless you choose to export them.
When should I use it?
Right after work ends — before you try to relax. That timing is what helps your brain mark the day as complete.
Try It Tonight
If your brain won’t shut off after work, five minutes is enough to notice the difference.
