## What is Pora?

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...?

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-12

A warmer first run and more reasons to come back.

  • New welcome flow that shows what Pora does — and what you get back — before you set anything up.
  • 16 new seasonal roles that quietly appear on their special day. All free.
  • Activity reports now follow the time window you're viewing, and Today shows only the roles you can act on.
  • Added a Privacy Policy link in Settings.
  • Fixes: actions keep their language when you switch app language, and contexts you open but don't log no longer clutter your history.

  Thank you for being part of Pora.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-02

New features: 
 • New Tourist role — actions tailored to your trip type (city, beach,
    mountains, abroad), a "Trip preparation" context, and a packing-list
    info card.
  • Widgets & Apple Watch: new wide 4×1 widget, today's action count now
    synced and shown on the widgets and the watch, dark-mode readability
    fixed, and the "Today" label follows your app language.
  • Activity: the chart is now scrollable and zoomable (Day / Week / Month
    / Quarter); tap a bar to filter the list to that range; swipe a
    history row to edit it.
  • Roles: hide roles you're not using and the "General actions" section
    to declutter the tab.

Bug fix:
  • Reminders: the evening reminder now fires at the correct local
    time (it was previously scheduled in UTC).

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-19
