About

Not every day is a big day. Some are just worth keeping. A good dinner. A photo from your walk. Something you finally got done. Keep it in Trace, alongside tomorrow's plans and the people you care about. No account registration needed. MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR DAY Write, add photos, videos, Live Photos, voice recordings or sketches. Include a mood, place or weather, or catch up on a day you missed. Underline, circle or highlight the words that matter, and pin entries you want to come back to often. PUT IT IN A NOTEBOOK Give a trip, a reading list or a stretch of life its own notebook. Choose a photo cover, add stickers to the pages and pick a song that plays when you open it. Long entries continue onto the next page; the paper curls with your finger as you turn it. You can also seal a day's entries into a letter for your future self, and choose the line it ends on. REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID Organize tasks into lists, add subtasks and set reminders. Already finished something that wasn't on your list? Record it anyway. Track goals by count or quantity, use tags and milestones, take days off, and look back by month or year. Keep birthdays and anniversaries. If you like, sync tasks and goals to the Reminders app, where ticking works both ways, and send important dates to Calendar with their alarms. SAVE UP FOR A LITTLE TREAT Make a wish for a reward you want, and it becomes a lantern. Earn stars for it from journal entries, completed tasks and goals, using rules you choose, and watch the lantern grow brighter as you make progress. When you have enough, press and hold to release it, then enjoy the treat you planned. Stars are an in-app record, with no cash value or goods supplied by Trace. REVISIT YOUR PLACES The places in your journal gather on a small, turning globe. Tap a place to leaf through the days and photos you kept there. Explore the mood calendar, On This Day, photo wall and monthly or yearly reviews. Make share cards, export entries as a PDF, or save a notebook as a page-turning video. KEEP PEOPLE CLOSE Link entries to a person to see your shared history. Remember their preferences, gifts and conversations, or set a reminder to get in touch. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOURS Choose from 24 themes, built-in fonts, photo backgrounds and adjustable text sizes. Pick separate themes for light and dark mode. Add app icons and eight Home Screen widgets, or use Simple mode for quieter pages. On iPad, wide layouts use two columns and notebooks open into two-page spreads in landscape. YOUR RECORDS STAY YOURS Entries are stored on your device by default and work offline. No ads or third-party tracking. Optional features include private iCloud sync, ZIP backups and an app lock. Preview a backup before restoring it. Optional period tracking is off by default. Menstrual-flow dates stay in Apple Health, outside your journal database, iCloud journal sync and ZIP backups. FREE AND PRO Entries, tasks, goals and people are unlimited for free. The free plan includes five notebooks, five important dates and three media attachments per entry. Themes, built-in fonts, backgrounds, icons, widgets, iCloud sync and ZIP backups are free too. Pro adds Wishes, daily letters, PDF export, notebook videos, journal comments, Live Activities and font import, with nine media attachments per entry and unlimited notebooks and important dates. New users can claim three days of full Pro during setup. Wishes and daily letters also offer seven-day feature trials; previously claimed letter trials keep their original duration. Gifted trials require no payment and do not become paid subscriptions. Existing letters, wishes and star history remain readable after access ends. Subscription and lifetime options are available at in-app prices. For iPhone and iPad. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.2 or later.

What's New in Trace

1.4.6

October 6, 2026

• Notebooks can have a song. On a notebook's page, tap Music and import a song from Files. It plays when you open the notebook, and flip-through videos use it too. You can also share audio files to Trace from AirDrop, Messages or a cloud drive. • Journal now shows how many characters you wrote each day, and each notebook shows its total. • Hide what you don't need on Today. At the bottom of Today, open Arrange the Today page and tap the eye next to a section. Tap it again to bring the section back. • Dictation no longer writes the same sentence down two or three times, and names from People come out right more often. • Find and replace: while writing, tap Replace under More, or select some text and tap Find and Replace. When you edit an entry, Mark is now in the top bar too. • If you swipe away while editing an entry, your changes are kept. Open it again and tap Continue Editing. Closing a new entry with × now asks if you want to keep it as a draft. • App Lock can have a 6-digit backup PIN for times when Face ID doesn't show up. Trace also opens right away once Face ID succeeds. We also fixed photos added on another device taking a long time to appear after syncing, widgets showing a goal like “6 glasses of water” as done too early, Mark selecting the whole entry right after writing, going back from an entry in a notebook not returning to the same page, and the app icon sometimes not changing automatically on iOS 18. Widgets now show goals like this as “3/6”, and each tap on the Home Screen adds one glass. You can also swipe to delete entries in a person's contact log.
