## What is Sunlit?

A quiet journal and mood tracker that lives entirely on your phone. No accounts, no feeds, nothing uploaded — just a little space to breathe.
Description
Sunlit is a gentle place to check in with yourself.
No accounts. No feeds. Nothing uploaded. Just you, a soft prompt, and a little room to breathe. Everything you write stays on your device — the most personal thing you'll ever record belongs to you alone.
Some days you'll write pages. Some days a single tap is enough. Sunlit is built for both.
A few quiet moments a day:

Mood check-ins — tap how you're feeling and watch gentle patterns appear over the week, month, and year. No streak to chase; showing up is enough.
A journal that meets you where you are — answer a daily prompt or start from a blank page. Titles optional. Write a sentence or a story.
Prompts when you want them — start a new entry and choose from a calm, browsable library, take one at random, or skip them entirely.
Moments — a full-screen, breathing pause with a kind word for when you need one.
Streaks & a color-coded calendar — a soft look back at how your days have felt.
Warm themes — honey, sage, dusk, and tide, each with full light and dark.
Yours to keep — protect your entries with a passcode or Face ID, and export a backup whenever you like.

Private by design:

Sunlit has no account and no server. Your entries, moods, and photos are saved only on your device — no tracking, no ads, ever. It even works completely offline. Optional and private iCloud Drive backup for syncing and restoration.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.24 — 2026-08-21

Hold that thought. Then hold the icon. 
- Sunlit now opens three doors from your home screen. Press and hold the app icon to log a mood, start a new entry, or take a breathing break — straight to the thing you meant to do, before the moment gets away from you.

### 1.0.23 — 2026-08-13

- Introducing a new mood logging widget: tap on a face to immediately log your current mood and save it in the app, with an optional note.

### 1.0.22 — 2026-08-11

- Six new palettes, and a lot more of them: Terracotta, Blush, Cocoa, Linen, Ember and Sunbeam join the original four — ten in all. And they no longer stop at the accent: pick one and the whole app wears it, pages and cards included. Sunbeam, in particular, does not do subtle.                                                                                                                   
- Your widgets got the memo: they'd been quietly wearing Honey this whole time, no matter what you'd chosen. Now they follow your palette and your light-or-dark setting, right there on the home screen.  
- Smaller comforts: Search and filter in your journal picked up a little glass, the back button in the journal editor is now a size your thumb agrees with

### 1.0.21 — 2026-08-11

No release notes.
