How it works

A diary you talk into.

One

Hold, and talk

Press the button and say how your day went, for about twenty seconds.

Two

It becomes a few lines

Your phone writes it down as a few lines in fountain-pen blue.

Three

Kept

Each day is filed in a private notebook. Look back by month or by year.

On your phone

Private by default

Your voice becomes words right on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no server holds your diary.

A mood a day

The year in dots

Each entry keeps a mood. The year fills in as a grid of dots you can scroll back through.

Short

A few lines

Each day is kept to a few lines.

Extras

Keepsakes

Small hand-drawn keepsakes appear as your notebook grows.

No signal needed

Works offline

The recording and the writing both happen on your phone.

Free

Nothing to buy

Free to download and free to use.

A look inside

What it looks like.

The promise

Your words stay on your phone.

Your voice becomes text on the device itself. Your entries are stored on your iPhone, not on our computers. We do not have accounts, we do not read your diary, and we do not sell anything about you. Read the full privacy policy.
