## What is Open Ink?

Open Ink is a quiet AI-powered journal for the small, daily practice of writing your thoughts down.                                                                        
   
Every morning, you open the app to one short question — a fresh prompt written by an AI editor whose only job is to invite you to notice something. Some days it lands on a small joy. Other days, on the thing you've been carrying. You write a sentence or a page, in your own words, with mood and tags if you want them.

  — A SHORT, CALM PRACTICE —

  • One new reflection prompt every day, never the same twice                           
  • A clean writing space with mood and tags
  • Voice-to-text on demand — speak when words come easier spoken                       
  • Templates if you want a place to start (gratitude, morning pages, goal reflection, more)                                                                                 
  • Auto-save, so nothing is lost                                                       
  • Yesterday-anchored streaks (you have the full current day to write before today's streak counts as broken)                                                              
  • Search any entry by mood, tag, or word
  • A calendar view of every day you've written                                         
                                                            
  — WHAT OPEN INK NOTICES —                                                             
                                                            
  • "On this day" — entries from a month, six months, or a year ago surface gently on the home screen
  • Weekly threads — every Sunday, Open Ink reads back through your week and surfaces the themes that ran through it                                                        
  • Next-step nudges — small invitations to add another layer to your personality model so prompts land more sharply                                                          
                                                            
  — PERSONALIZED TO YOUR VOICE —                                                        
                                                            
Daily prompts are reworded to fit you. A short Big Five baseline at sign-up tunes the tone. Optional Enneagram and Attachment lenses (Pro) deepen the personalization further. If you add a few birth details (optional, anytime), reflections quietly weave in personality patterns drawn from your birth chart — same question, phrased so it lands for you. We never name a sign or use astrology jargon in the prompts. The personalization is quiet and opt-in.

  — BRING YOUR EXISTING WRITING IN —

If you already journal somewhere else, paste from Apple Notes or pick a .txt / .md file — Open Ink parses it into entries and dates them. Export your full archive as Markdown any time, also from inside the app.                                          
                                                            
  — A NOTE ON PRICING —

Open Ink is free to install. A small Pro subscription unlocks unlimited AI insights on entries, deeper personality lenses, templates, unlimited 30-day reflections, and richer cross-entry memory. Manage or cancel from your iPhone Settings → Subscriptions any time.                                                 

  — PRIVACY —

Your entries are encrypted in transit and at rest, tied to your account. Delete your account from inside the app and every entry goes with it. We never sell your data, never share it with third parties, and never train models on it.
