## What is develop.?

develop. is a daily photo journal that works like film. each day you take one photo and tag how you felt. it locks overnight and reveals the next morning at 7am, so you never judge a moment in the instant you live it.
over time, your days become something to look back on:
· a weekly film strip of seven feelings
· a monthly roll
· your whole year, every day a colour, in one grid

how it works:
· shoot one photo a day
· choose a feeling, then the word that fits best
· wait for it to develop overnight
· reveal it at 7am and keep it in your journal

mood insights:
see your month in feelings. your patterns, how consistently you showed up, and the words you reach for most.

a quiet community:
share a photo anonymously if you want to, or keep everything to yourself. sharing is always off by default.

develop+
· your full photo history
· monthly and yearly mood maps
· mood insights
· no ads
subscription auto-renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

develop. is made by one person who wanted a slower, quieter way to remember days.
