Did you read with your child? Did you pray today? Did you call your mother? Did you take your meds?
Pora is a gentle iPhone diary. Instead of "how did you feel", it asks "did I today". You pick a role — Parent, Believer, Patient — and the app shapes tiles around your day. In the evening you tap the ones that happened. Ten seconds. No writing up, no judgment.
WHAT PORA IS
• A daily tap, not an essay. Tiles matched to your role — prayer, meds, movement, a call to loved ones, reading, sleep.
• Numbers only when needed. A tile with a unit (°C, mmHg, min) asks for one value and saves it.
• Liturgical calendar inside. The app knows Lent, Advent, the Rosary October.
• Context when it matters. Activate "Illness" for a week — the Today grid gains extra tiles, and reverts when the window closes.
• Monthly Activity view. Four Saturdays of reading with my daughter in March. Three days of fever in February. A glance, not a spreadsheet.
• PDF for the doctor. Export a range — temperature, meds, symptoms — ready for the appointment. With a clear notice: this is not a medical device.
WHAT PORA IS NOT
• No account. No cloud. No sync.
• No ads. No tracking. No analytics.
• No subscription. Three roles are free (Parent, Believer, Patient). The rest are one-time App Store purchases.
• No "how did you feel today?" No mood slider. No streak score.
ROLES AND CONTEXTS
Spouse, In Sobriety, Man, Amateur Athlete, Caregiver, Pilgrim, Creator, Neat Keeper, and a few other ones. Each role brings its own tiles but you can add custom ones - only you know what is important.
PRIVACY
The database is encrypted locally. Nothing leaves the phone. If you enable iCloud Drive backup, the file is yours — not ours. Full privacy policy at pora.life/privacy.
FOR WHOM
For people who want to know certain things happened — without running a second life inside an app. For parents. For believers. For the sick. For caregivers. For those on the road.
Pora. Did I today...?
