## What is tomte?

Just chat with Tomte, your AI companion, and your answers become diary entries and your Library.
Your day becomes an entry. The books, films and shows you've seen, and the old days you remember, get kept in your Library.
In Nordic folklore, a tomte is a small gnome who quietly looks after the house. Here, Tomte asks "How was your day?" and you just answer.

■ Just answer, and it becomes an entry
No staring at a blank page. Reply to Tomte's questions a line at a time. When you're done, Tomte writes up the entry using only what you said, and you can edit anything you like.

■ Library: what you've watched and read, and the old days
Tap Library on the Today tab to keep a work or a memory. It works just like your diary: Tomte asks, you answer, and it becomes writing.
• Works: add a book, film or show (or something else, like a play or an exhibition), and Tomte asks which scene stayed with you and what you thought afterward. Something you saw long ago is fine too. Your answers are written up as your take on it, with a rating and a cover. Covers start out as a simple title cover, and you can swap in one of your own photos or a picture you pick from the web. If the info can be found, Tomte adds details about the work (author or director, year and so on), and you can edit them.
• Memories: keep something from the past that comes back to you. Fuzzy dates are fine: "in college" is enough. Tomte slowly asks about the scene, who was there, the sounds and how it felt.
• In your Library, sort works by rating or by the date you saw them, and see Memories in the order they happened.

■ Remembers what you've said
Tomte remembers the things and people you mention and picks them up next time: "How did that turn out?" Each entry leaves a thread to pick up later.

■ Reviews and feelings
Weekly and monthly reviews pull together your week or month. The Heart tab shows who comes up often in your entries and how you felt around them.

■ Photos too
Send a photo, and Tomte looks at it and asks about it.

■ Busy day? Leave one line
When there's no time to chat, leave just one line. You can also write and edit entries yourself.

■ Easy to keep going
Streaks, badges and goals. Pick your own morning and evening reminder times and your days off.

■ Your diary, only yours
Turn on App lock to open the app with Face ID (or Touch ID or your passcode). Export everything as a .md file anytime. Your writing is never used to train AI.

■ Five tabs
Today: talk with Tomte and save your entry. Start works and memories from Library.
Journal: look back by day, week and month.
Heart: the people who come up often, and how you felt.
Goals: set small goals and keep at them.
Me: coins, reminders, App lock and export.

■ About coins
• Talking with Tomte uses coins: 1 coin = 10 replies from Tomte (each message you send counts as 1). Chats about works and memories count the same way.
• Writing up a chat as an entry, a work or a memory doesn't use coins, and neither does looking up a work's info.
• A weekly review costs 3 coins, a monthly review 6.
• You get 3 coins when you sign up, +1 each day you write, +1 for writing on 5 days in a week (Mon–Sun), and +2 for writing in every week of a month.
• Earned coins stack up to 10 (coins you buy are separate).
• Coins come in packs of 10, 35 and 80, bought in the app. No subscription.
• With no coins, you can still write entries yourself. Exporting and deleting never use coins.

■ Good to know
Tomte is an AI, and its answers can be wrong. It isn't a substitute for medical care or counseling. If hard feelings keep coming back, please reach out to a crisis line (in the US, call or text 988).

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-10

Chat with Tomte and more than your day ends up as an entry: your thoughts on books, films and shows, and old memories that suddenly come back, get written up and collect in your Library. Tap Library on the Today tab, pick a work or a memory, and Tomte asks about it. Your answers become the notes.
· Rate works and sort them by rating.
· Check a work's info and fix anything that's off.
· In the Journal tab, what you kept in your Library that day shows under the entry.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-05

On iPhone Duo, unfold the screen to see your list and entry side by side.
Small polish across the app: matching title fonts, and notices now sit at the bottom so they don't cover what you're writing. If your connection drops mid-chat, spent coins now come back properly.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-03

No release notes.
