The Compass
A quiet dial. You are at the centre; three cardinal projects orient you. North is your most important, southeast is second, southwest is third. Categories rotate the compass rose; the dial stays steady. Wayfinding for the mind.
iPhone
The dial. Three bearings. You at the centre.
Tap a bearing to read its full title and description below. Categories switch the compass rose. The "Also today" line lives quietly under the dial.

An instrument on the desktop.
Sits between windows like a brass paperweight — always reading the same three bearings.
