Most of what makes Reverie Reverie is something you’re not meant to consciously see. The writing surface responds to you as you work, the way a good room responds to the person working in it.
What’s happening
- The cursor glows softly, so your place on the page feels warm rather than clinical.
- Scrolling settles with weight, with momentum and a gentle resistance instead of snapping around.
- The page warms when you’re in flow and cools when you pause, just below the threshold of attention.
- Small milestones flicker past as you write, then fade.
None of this asks for your attention. It’s tuned to sit underneath conscious thought, felt rather than watched. If you ever notice it directly, that’s usually a sign to look back at the words and keep going. The interface should be doing something other than interrupting you.
What you can adjust
There’s very little to configure. In Settings (⌘,) you can choose:
- a theme, the colours of the writing surface
- a text size: Comfortable, Large, or Extra Large
That’s the extent of it. One typeface, one document, and a page that responds to you. Everything else is just writing.
