A calm, private journal for your morning and your night — built so you can throw out our questions and write your own.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• Nothing to buy. No ads, no subscriptions, no upsells, no "pro" tier.
• No company server. Your entries live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. We never see them, because they never reach us.
• Nothing is sold, mined, or used to train anything. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs.
• Nothing is downloaded after you install it. The whole app works offline.
• Sign in with Apple is the only sign-in there is. No email, no password, no profile.
WHAT YOU GET
• Protocols (optional): see morning light, sleep timing, Zone 2 cardio and doing something hard early in the day, from your Apple Watch, worked out on your iPhone. General wellness, not medical advice.
• Two moments a day: intentions, gratitude and to-dos in the morning; meals, movement, mood and thoughts at night.
• Every prompt is yours — add, rename, reorder, retype or remove any of them.
• Fourteen kinds of prompt: paragraphs, single lines, numbers, sliders, yes/no, single- and multi-select, checklists, times, tap-to-count, photos, stopwatches, a daily question, and recurring tasks.
• Recurring tasks. Give a habit its own repeat: every day, certain weekdays, or every few days. Only what's due turns up, and each task keeps its own streak.
• Insights is a stack of cards: streaks, charts, mood, and On This Day — what you wrote on this date in earlier years. All worked out on this device.
• Stopwatch celebrations. A stopwatch can chime at every interval you pick, such as every five minutes. Tap Continue and the timer keeps going. It can stay on the Lock Screen while it runs. On iPhones with iOS 26 or later the chime sounds even in silent mode, once you allow alarms.
• Choose the paper and the type: Plain and Simple, cream, white, or a warm dark, with a wider choice of typefaces.
• Evening voice notes: record one, keep the transcript, and manage it from one place.
• Optional add-ons in Settings, all off until you turn them on. Thoughts is a running list of things you say; the words are kept and the recording is not. Thoughtful Entries is a list of longer, one-time entries, each with its date, not tied to any day's questions.
• Apple Health, optional and read-only: sleep, steps and exercise fill themselves in. Settings lists every kind of data the app reads.
• Home Screen widgets for your streak, a daily goal, a to-do, a tap-counter and a stopwatch.
• Unfinished to-dos roll forward to tomorrow on their own.
• Take it with you: a printable PDF book, a CSV, or a full backup.
• iPhone and iPad — two columns on iPad, one on iPhone, with hardware-keyboard support.
THINGS TO TRY
• Open Edit my questions and delete half of them. The journal you keep is the one that asks what you actually want to answer.
• Add a recurring task for something you keep meaning to do twice a week, then look at Insights in a fortnight.
• Switch to the dark paper for the evening page.
• Put the Daily Goal widget on your Home Screen and pick one number to keep an eye on.
• Removed a prompt and want it back? Edit my questions, then Removed fields. The answers were never deleted.
• Ask Siri to add something to today's to-do list.
Reflect in the morning. Unwind at night. Keep it private. Make it yours.
