## What is Crackle Journal?

Crackle Journal turns your day into a story.

Toss in a few "kindlings" — short notes about what happened today — and the fire does the rest: your scattered moments come back as one finished piece of diary prose, written in a voice you choose.

HOW IT WORKS
- Write kindlings: a line or two per moment. That's all it takes.
- Choose your point of view — first person, observer, or an all-knowing narrator
- Set the processing level, from plain facts to fully literary prose
- Attach photos and let their mood seep into the writing
- Weather works its way into the sentences, never stated outright

MORE THAN A DIARY
- Talk to your past self — an AI that has read every entry and answers with evidence from your own life
- Receive occasional letters from -???, a mysterious presence who watches over your fire
- Reader comments and a critic's one-liner after each entry
- A character codex for the people who appear in your days
- Badges for the days that turn out to matter

SAFE BY DEFAULT
- Cloud backup and sync — switch phones or reinstall without losing a word
- Sign in with Apple or Google
- Your entries are yours. Delete your account and data anytime.

Start with one small kindling tonight. See what your day looks like as a story.
