## What is Brevity Journal?

Brevity is journaling stripped down to what actually sticks: three sentences a day, no more.

Most journaling apps ask for too much and get abandoned within a week. Brevity asks for thirty seconds. Write what happened, tag your mood, and you're done - building a daily habit instead of a backlog of guilt.

What's inside:

Three-sentence entries - a gentle limit that makes writing effortless instead of intimidating
Mood tracking - tag each day with an emoji and watch patterns emerge in Mood Trends
On This Day - past entries resurface a year later, so you rediscover what you'd forgotten
Letters to Future You - seal a private note today, revealed months or years from now
Full history & search - every entry, searchable, organized by month
Export as a book - turn your journal into a beautifully typeset PDF
Daily reminders - a nudge at whatever time works for you
Face ID / passcode lock - your thoughts stay yours
iCloud sync - your journal follows you across devices, fully private

No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions. Just you, three sentences, and a growing record of your life.
