## What is Mote?

Mote: Your Private Journal for Two
Mote helps you appreciate your closest person in a simple, intentional, and private way. In the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to focus on problems and overlook the good. Mote is designed as a gentle reminder to express daily appreciation, fostering deeper connections without the pressure of a public social network.

Why Mote?
• Nurture Relationships: Build stronger bonds by consistently noticing and sharing what you appreciate about your partner, friend, or family member.
• Intentional Connection: Create a dedicated, private channel for two, free from followers, likes, or algorithms.
• Lasting Memories: Develop a beautiful, long-term archive of shared moments and heartfelt notes, building a memory of small good things together.

Key Features
• Daily Appreciations: Write short, meaningful appreciation notes in seconds.
• Flexible Delivery: Choose instant delivery, keep notes private, or schedule them for a special moment.
• Simple Moods: Express how you feel with a quick tap – no words needed.
• Private & Shared Timelines: Keep a personal archive and a shared history of your warmth.
• Photo Support: Add photos to your notes, securely encrypted and stored locally.
• Offline Functionality: Core features work without an internet connection.
• Calm UI: Enjoy a serene interface in both light and dark modes.

A Calm, Unhurried Experience
Mote is built to feel small, calm, and unhurried. It doesn't buzz for attention or chase engagement. It's a quiet corner on your phone for the person who matters most, encouraging genuine connection and reflection.

Privacy First
Your data stays private. All content, including photos, is stored locally on your device and protected with encryption. We do not require account creation for core features.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-11

We fixed how the system permission request for personalized ads is displayed. We also added minor stability improvements to make saving daily appreciations and moods more reliable.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-06

Fixed: users with an active Premium purchase are no longer asked about ad preferences or app tracking at launch. If you have Premium, there are no ads, so there is nothing to ask about.

Updated the app's privacy declaration so it accurately reflects how ads work for free users.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-04

Mote has a fresh new look — refreshed layout, type and colours make jotting down daily moments of gratitude feel warmer. Ads stay optional and non-personalised; premium removes them for good. Plus stability improvements throughout.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-30

Family of up to 5 — instead of a single pair, share appreciations with the people close to you in one circle. Existing pairs move to a family automatically, with history and encryption continuity intact. Plus a refreshed look and stability fixes.

### 1.2.11 — 2026-07-17

Deletions now sync between paired devices, the account syncs automatically on launch, and tablet layout is improved.
