## What is Inkday?

Inkday is a private journal that's yours alone.

We believe something simple: your journal is yours. Inkday runs no servers and cannot see your content. Everything — your writing, photos, videos, audio, moods, tags, location, weather, and calendar snapshots — is stored only in your own iCloud, syncing quietly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your Apple ID. No account to create, no Google or third-party sign-in, no ads, no tracking.

■ Capture every day
- One clean, text-first entry a day, at a glance on the calendar
- Add photos, short clips, and voice notes to any entry
- Organize life with moods and tags; filter and revisit anytime
- Auto-record where you were and the weather as you write (optional)
- Snapshot that day's calendar events into the entry, so you can look back even after switching calendars or phones (choose which calendars to include)

■ Look back, gently
- "On This Day" brings back the same day in years past
- See your writing streaks and most-used moods
- A footprint map shows the places you've been

■ Built for privacy
- Your data lives only in your own iCloud; the developer can't access it
- No accounts, no ads, no third-party analytics SDKs
- Built-in App Lock: protect the whole app with a PIN and Face ID / Touch ID (free)

■ Your data, portable
- Import from other journaling apps to move in easily
- Export your entire journal to a file anytime for a full backup

■ Three platforms, one journal
- Shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac; syncs automatically with one Apple ID
- Seven warm, papery themes, with dark mode (follow the system, or stay light or dark)

The core is free forever. Inkday Pro unlocks extra themes, location & weather, calendar snapshots, statistics, the footprint map, and export backups — available as a yearly plan, a monthly plan, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Tired of renewing every year? Inkday lets you buy it once.

Every day of yours deserves to be kept well.
