## What is Five Year Diary?

Write today, and the same day last year - and the year before that - line up right below it. 5 Year Diary lets you see five years of one date on a single page.

[Meet yourself, a year ago]
- Five years of the same date, stacked on one page
- While you write today, you can go and meet who you were last year
- A few lines is enough, which is what makes it easy to keep

[Quiet by design, never scolding]
- No streak counts, no "you have reached 30 days"
- Days you did not write are simply left as they are (no "missing" marks)
- Only the total number you have written is shown, quietly
- No character limit. A short day and a day you want to write are equally fine

[Built to protect your diary]
- Records are kept inside this device only (nothing is sent anywhere)
- A backup is taken automatically every day, so you can restore if something happens
- App lock (Face ID or your device passcode) keeps it away from other eyes

[Made to be safe to use]
- No ads
- Nothing is sent to any AI. Your diary never leaves your phone
- Dark mode supported

[About in-app purchase]
- Exporting your diary as a PDF is a one-time 200 yen purchase (no subscription). Writing, reading, the daily automatic backup and everything else stay free either way

A year from now, when you open this day, today will be here waiting. That is 5 Year Diary.
