About
Plenty of people want to keep a journal and then stall at the blank page. Debrief asks you one question each night, so you never have to pick what to write about.
Every date has its own question, and it's the same one every year. Next October 6 you'll answer the question you answered this October 6. Once you've answered, Debrief opens what you wrote on that date in earlier years. Until then, they stay closed.
A few minutes a night
• 1 question, plus up to 2 short follow-ups. You pick how many.
• Not feeling tonight's question? Skip it and write whatever's on your mind.
• Type or talk. Your iPhone turns speech into text on the device, and the audio never leaves it.
• Writing after midnight? It still counts for the night before, until 5 AM.
• You can change your answers, or start the entry over, until the day ends.
One reminder a day
Pick a window: morning, afternoon, evening or night. Debrief nudges you once inside it and goes quiet after you've written. Miss a day and it lets it go. There aren't any streaks to keep up.
Private to you. Always.
• There's no account to make.
• Your journal lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud Backup. We never see what you write.
• There are no ads, and nothing tracks you across other apps.
• A few anonymous usage counts help us see what's working. Switch them off in Settings anytime.
• Export the whole journal whenever you like, to move to a new phone or keep a plain-text copy.
Year after year
Year 1 is the deposit. From year 2 on, each night gives something back: what you were thinking on this date a year ago, then 2 years ago, and so on.
