Heartwood Diary is a quiet multi-year diary for remembering life at its own pace. It opens on today's date, gives you room to write what feels worth keeping, and over time brings back the same day from earlier years.
Write a line. Add a photo. Record a voice note. After months and years, your diary becomes more than a collection of notes. It becomes a way to notice how days, places, and feelings move through your life.
Features
Same day, year after year
Today's date stays at the center. Write about now and revisit what you thought, did, and felt on this date in earlier years.
Text, photos, and voice
Capture more than words. Save photos, audio clips, and mood with each entry. If enabled, Heartwood can also add place and weather; weather uses Apple Weather/WeatherKit.
Future Mail
Write a letter to your future self and choose the day it opens. Until then the letter stays sealed — only the opening day and an optional line on the envelope are visible, never the contents. On its opening day, the letter waits in the Today view. You can choose to get a notification at your usual reminder time. Your first letter is included.
Gentle insights
See patterns without scores, streak pressure, or performance. Heartwood helps you notice writing habits, recurring themes, and how the tone of your diary changes over time.
Words for the day
Begin with a quote or a small moment from history on this date, if you like. You can also choose to be greeted only by your own words.
Privacy from the start
Your diary is stored on your device from the start. No account required. No ads or tracking. It can sync across your devices using your own iCloud account if enabled. Apple Weather/WeatherKit is used for weather when enabled.
Lock with Face ID or Touch ID
Protect your diary with the lock built into iOS, so your notes stay yours.
Premium for peace of mind
With Premium, you can create encrypted backups and exports, sync your diary across devices with your own iCloud, and make a printable copy. Premium also lets you write as many letters as you like in Future Mail. Backups and exports require a password and are encrypted before they are saved or shared.
