About

One emoji. One line. That's a whole day. The journal is free. Forever — unlimited entries, the full year grid, search and your insights. No trial that expires. Lumi is the journal for people who never keep a journal. No blank page staring back at you, no guilt about the entry you "should" write. Pick a mood, type a single sentence, and you're done. The whole thing takes ten seconds — which is exactly why you'll still be doing it a year from now. YOUR YEAR, PIXEL BY PIXEL Every day you log becomes one coloured square in a grid of your whole year. Watch it slowly fill in. Tap any past square to read — or quietly fix — what that day was. It's the most honest picture of your life you'll ever see on one screen. WHAT LIFTS YOU Once you have a few weeks written down, Lumi counts them. It reads back your own words and tags and shows which ones turn up on your better days, and which turn up on your worse ones — with the number of days behind each one, so you can weigh it yourself. Nobody counts four hundred days by hand. This is the part people stay for, and it all happens on your phone. FIND ANY DAY AGAIN Search everything you have ever written. Or ask a plain question — "what did my best weeks have in common?" — and get an answer built only out of your own entries. Your first question is free, and every answer is kept so you can read it again. NEVER LOSE A WORD Your sentence saves itself as you type. Close the app mid-thought, drop your phone, run out of battery — it's already saved. This is the one thing every other journal app gets wrong, and the one thing we refused to. A REFLECTION AT THE END OF THE WEEK (optional) Lumi can read back your own entries and write you a short, warm reflection — the gentle pattern a friend would notice that you can't see from inside your own week. At the end of every month and every year there's a longer one. It's powered by AI and honest about being AI. Your first reflection is free, so you can read one about your own week before you decide anything. YOUR YEAR AS A LITTLE BOOK Turn a finished year into a small PDF booklet — every day in order, with the letters Lumi wrote you. Yours to keep or to print, and it stays yours after the subscription ends. No core feature is locked behind a wall — your reminders stay free too. You can use Lumi happily without paying a thing. BUILT TO BE PRIVATE - No account. No sign-up. No email. Nothing to log into. - Your entries live on your device — and so does the counting. "What lifts you" never leaves your phone. - Lock Lumi behind Face ID or your phone's passcode if you want to. - No ads, and nothing sold to anyone. Analytics are off until you say yes, you can switch them back off, and what you write is never part of them. - When you ask for a reflection, or ask your journal a question, the lines it covers are sent to be read once. They are never stored on any server. - Export everything to CSV whenever you want — and read it back in on a new phone. It's your life; take it with you. A GENTLE NUDGE, NOT A NAG One optional daily reminder, at a time you choose. The wording changes so it never becomes wallpaper you stop seeing. Miss a day? Nothing breaks. Your streak is there to encourage you, not to punish you. Meet Lumi, the little firefly who lights up in the same colors your year fills with. Small app. Small habit. A surprisingly big picture by December. Start tonight. One line. SUBSCRIPTION Lumi Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The price is shown in your own currency on the subscription screen before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.

What's New in Lumi

1.1.1

August 26, 2026

Your letters come to you now. LETTERS THAT ARRIVE Lumi used to wait to be asked. The letter for a week, a month or a year that has just closed is now written on its own and waiting when you open the app, with a mark on the tab so you know it is there. One at a time, newest first, so a month away does not arrive all at once. Part of Lumi Pro, and only if you have said yes to letters being written. A PLACE FOR THEM TO WAIT Reflections is a mailbox now: what is waiting for you at the top, the letters you have already read below. WHERE YOUR YEAR LIVES Settings now says when you last took a copy of your journal out, and explains the part nobody tells you: your journal already travels with your phone's own backup — iCloud on iPhone, Google on Android — as long as that is switched on. The CSV export is the copy that does not depend on any of it. If a long time has passed without one, Lumi mentions it once. SMALLER THINGS - The bars under What Lifts You now scale to what they are showing, so you can actually compare them No account, no ads.
