## What is Dear Past Me?

Reflection Diary helps you record everyday moments and naturally reconnect with your past self.

A diary can take on new meaning when you return to it after some time has passed.

“I remember thinking this.”
“I had forgotten how important that day was.”
“I can see how much has changed.”

Reflection Diary brings those discoveries back through random entries, reminders, and widgets.

■ Simple diary writing

Start writing with just a title and your thoughts.

You can create an entry for today or choose an earlier date to capture something you did not have time to write down before.

■ Rediscover past entries

The Home screen presents an entry from your past at random.

There is no need to search through a timeline. Each visit gives you a natural opportunity to revisit something you once wrote.

Premium lets you customize the date range, tags, and refresh interval used for random entries.

■ Home Screen widgets

Display past entries on your Home Screen.

Reconnect with an earlier moment without opening the app whenever you glance at your device.

■ Daily reminders

Receive a reminder containing a past entry at a time you choose.

You can control whether reminders are enabled, when they arrive, and whether they use sound.

■ Organize with tags and a calendar

Create your own tags to organize entries by work, hobbies, family, travel, or anything else that matters to you.

The calendar makes it easy to browse entries by date.

The Free plan supports up to 3 custom tags. Premium supports up to 20.

■ Sync across devices

Sign in with Apple or Google to use cloud sync.

Sync is off by default and begins only after you enable it in Settings.

The Free plan can sync up to 100 diary entries. Premium removes the cloud entry limit. Entries stored locally on your device are unlimited on both plans.

■ Share entries as images

Turn an entry into a clean, readable image that you can save to your device or share with another app.

Choose from multiple designs and aspect ratios to create an image that suits where you want to use it.

■ Make it your own

Customize an avatar by choosing different facial features and clothing.

Use Light Mode, Dark Mode, or follow your device’s system appearance.

Reflection Diary is available in Japanese, English, and Korean.

■ Designed with privacy in mind

Your diary is stored locally by default. You can write and revisit entries without creating an account.

Diary data is stored in the cloud only after you sign in and explicitly enable sync.

Diary text, titles, and tag names are not sent for usage analytics or diagnostic reporting.

■ Premium

Premium includes:

• Cloud sync without an entry limit
• Up to 20 custom tags
• Custom date range, tag filters, and refresh interval for random entries

Premium is available as an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription. The price and subscription period are shown before purchase. Previous purchases can be restored from Settings.

Write today for the person you will become.

Keep it simple, and make reflection part of your everyday life.
