## What is Penned?

Affirmations you write, not just read.

One line a day. Trace it by hand, letter by letter, and feel the words become yours. Writing is how the brain remembers — Penned turns it into a two-minute daily ritual.

YOUR DAILY PRACTICE
• A personalized affirmation, chosen for you each day
• Trace it in your own hand — stroke by stroke, with the sound of a real pen
• Watch your handwriting replay itself, anytime
• Say it out loud — record it in your voice, play it back

STAY WITH IT
• Streaks and a calendar of every line you've kept
• Gentle reminders, on your schedule
• Home & Lock Screen widgets that keep your words in sight

EIGHT THEMES
Confidence · Love · Health · Abundance · Gratitude · Peace · Growth · Relationships

QUIET BY DESIGN
No feed. No ads. No noise. Just you, one line, and a few quiet minutes.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your name, writing, voice, and history never leave your device.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-05

Writing feels more like writing now.

• Smoother, more natural tracing — the ink follows your finger like a real pen
• Share your line in four sizes: Square, Portrait, Wide, and Wallpaper — exactly as it looks on screen
• Pen sounds rebalanced — softer and centered
• Fixed: handwriting replay now plays all the way to the end

Keep writing. The words are settling in.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-17

What's New in 1.0.2

  Writing your affirmations now feels smoother than ever. We rebuilt the tracing experience so each letter follows your
  hand more naturally — and tuned the pencil sound to keep you calm and focused.

  You can also share your affirmations in new ways: pick from four layouts, including Portrait, and your card now matches
  exactly what you see on screen.

  Plus a few fixes to make every session feel just right.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-11

• Fixed an issue that could cause the app to crash on launch
  • Stability and performance improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-06-06

No release notes.
