## What is Joys & Woes?

Keep what felt good. Let go of what did not.

Joys & Woes is a quiet, private journal for the moments that make up a day. Save joys in seconds, add photos, video, audio, or tags when you want more detail, and return to good moments through Memories.

When something weighs on you, write it as a woe. When you are ready, burn the card to remove it permanently from the app. If you enable Lessons in Settings, you can keep one useful insight as a new joy before letting the original woe go.

Made for privacy and calm:
• no account or advertising
• entries stay on this device; if you choose iCloud sync, they also sync privately through your iCloud
• works without an internet connection
• optional Face ID or device-passcode lock
• local reminders with no journal text on the Lock Screen
• JSON and media export under your control

Joys & Woes does not score your feelings or turn reflection into a streak. It gives you a warm place to notice the good, make room around the difficult, and carry useful lessons forward.

Important: burning a woe permanently deletes that card and its attachments from the app. There is no trash or restore action.
