## What is Daykept?

Some days are worth keeping. Not just remembering — actually keeping, like pressing a flower between the pages of a book.

Daykept is a gentle journal built around how you actually feel. Pick a mood, jot a few lines, tag your day — that's it. No blank page staring back at you. No homework-sized prompts. Just a simple space to check in with yourself, one day at a time.

WHY DAYKEPT IS DIFFERENT

Most journal apps ask you to write. Daykept asks you to feel first. Every entry starts with a mood, so even on busy days — or low-energy ones — you can leave a mark in under ten seconds. Over time, your calendar fills with colors that show the shape of your weeks, your months, your year.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Feeling-first entries — tap a mood, then write as much or as little as you want
- Color-coded calendar — see your emotional pattern at a glance
- Daily prompts — gentle questions for when you're not sure where to start
- Tags — organize by themes like work, wellness, relationships
- Voice, photos, and text — capture the day however feels right
- Streak counter — build the habit without pressure
- Reminders — a soft nudge at the time that works for you
- Export anytime — your entries belong to you, in plain text or JSON

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account needed. No cloud sync by default. Your entries live on your device, locked behind your passcode or Face ID. We don't read them. We can't read them. That's the point.

WHO IT'S FOR

Daykept is for people who want the benefits of journaling without the pressure of "writing well." If you've tried journal apps before and stopped because it felt like too much — this one asks less of you, so you can actually stick with it. It's for evening wind-downs, anxious moments, grateful mornings, and every small feeling in between.

Your future self will thank you for the tiny record you're keeping right now.
