## What is Hourveil?

Do not make today perfect.
Capture one honest moment, add a photo or your voice, and seal it.

Hourveil is a once-a-day sealed journal. After sealing, the title and written entry cannot be edited. Ordinary words stay true to the day they came from.

Over time, sealed days gather into a visual month. Memories you had forgotten return through On This Day, carrying meaning that only time can add.

Features

• One meaningful capsule per day
• Writing, up to five photos, and a voice memo
• Title and entry become immutable after sealing
• Monthly archive, search, and On This Day
• Hidden entries with device authentication
• Encrypted local database
• Password-protected manual backups
• PDF and Markdown export

Privacy by design

• No account
• No required cloud sync
• No ads or behavioral analytics
• No AI reading or training on your journal
• Backups are created only when you choose

Your first 10 seals are free. Continue without limits with one lifetime purchase.
