## What is AnnualRing?

Some days are worth keeping not because they were remarkable, but because they were yours. AnnualRing Diary gives those moments a quiet place to land and be found again.

It is a diary that puts your words first: titles, tags, moods, and templates are never required. Simply write and look back, or turn to an AI observation when you want another layer.

EASY TO START
· One tap opens today's page; one entry per day, with automatic draft saving
· Nine optional approaches and real-life examples help with the first sentence. Prompts never enter your text or call AI, and can be skipped anytime

AI OBSERVATIONS & MEMORY
· AI draws on the current entry and relevant memories to respond from another angle and help you notice feelings or thoughts you may have missed
· Keep talking around an observation: add context, offer another view, or overturn it when it misses the mark
· View, correct, delete, or restore memories about you and important relationships; corrections are remembered
· Using AI is your choice; writing, look-backs, search, and export work without it

LOOK BACK & FIND ANY ENTRY
· Revisit through Random, This Day in Past Years, Latest, Earlier Days, or Timeline, plus date filters and full-text search
· Optional Premium mood ratings and trends show what you recorded, for you to interpret in your own way

YOUR WORDS ARE YOURS
· Local-first and fully usable offline, with private sync through your own iCloud
· Export entries on this device for free as an offline website with text, dates, photos, weather, and moods
· Your diary database is not on our servers. AI sends only what that request needs; our server does not retain diary text
· App Lock and background protection keep entries private; photo metadata is removed on import; no social features, public publishing, or feeds

WRITE ANYTIME, ADD ONLY WHAT YOU WANT
· Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Lock Screen control, and Siri open today's entry
· Reminders are off by default; you choose the time and wording, with no guilt nudges
· Add up to 5 photos per entry. Weather and ten quiet illustrations are optional and off by default

PREMIUM & SUBSCRIPTIONS
Writing, guided prompts, photos, search, local export, private iCloud sync, and App Lock are free forever.
AnnualRing Premium offers more monthly AI observations and conversations, plus mood ratings and mood trends.
· Monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions; pricing is shown at purchase
· Managed with your Apple ID; cancel anytime in Settings
· A reusable AI Credit Pack is also available and never expires
