## What is Row?

Row is a one-line journal. Open it, write a line about today, close it. That's the whole habit.

Write on the same date next year and the year after, and those lines stack up under each other. A few years in, every date becomes a small row of your own past.

• ONE LINE, SAVED WHEN YOU CLOSE
Up to 140 characters a day. Press Return, swipe the sheet away, or leave the app. Your line is already saved.

• NOT SURE WHAT TO WRITE? ANSWER A QUESTION
Write your line as the answer to a question. The question stays with the line, so you can see what it was answering when you read it again. You can add questions of your own, too.

• ON THIS DAY
Below today's line you see what you wrote on this date one, two, five years ago, newest first. Share any one of them as a card.

• FILL IN ANY DAY
Pick any earlier day and write it in. The calendar in Entries shows a dot on each day you wrote, and tapping an empty day lets you write it. There are no streaks to break.

• ONE YEAR AGO, ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Two small widgets, Years Ago Today and Today's Line, plus Lock Screen widgets. Long-press Years Ago Today and choose Edit Widget to show 2 to 5 years back instead.

• BRING YOUR DIARY WITH YOU
Import a CSV (date,text) from another app. Export everything to TXT or CSV anytime.

• AN EVENING REMINDER, IF YOU WANT ONE
Turn on one quiet reminder at the time you choose. It skips the days you already wrote, and tapping it takes you straight to today's line.

• ON IPAD, TOO
Row works on iPad in any orientation, with the text kept to a comfortable reading width.

• STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
No account and no ads. Your lines never leave your device. The network is used only to check your purchase status.

• ROW PRO
Writing, answering a question and 3 questions of your own, filling in past days, On This Day and sharing a line as a card, browsing and search, the month calendar, the book preview, the small and Lock Screen widgets, the reminder, and export and import are free. Row Pro adds app lock with Face ID or your passcode (and hides your lines in widgets), the medium and large On This Day widgets that show several years at once, PDF books of a month or a year, more than 3 questions of your own, and Year at a Glance with every day you wrote in a year on one page.
