## What is RetroJournal?

RetroJournal brings the beloved 5-year diary format to your iPhone. Each day, write a short paragraph about your life, then watch as the same date from 1, 2, and 5 years ago surfaces right beneath it. The emotional pull of reading your past self is unlike anything else.

Built for simplicity and consistency. Open the app, see today's prompt, write your entry, and close it. No feeds, no distractions, no accounts. Everything lives privately on your device. Streaks and gentle reminders keep you coming back without pressure.

Unlock Pro to access beautiful hand-crafted themes, encrypted local export of your entire journal, and custom daily prompts. Your memories deserve a beautiful home.
