About
Trace brings your journal, to-dos, goals, important people, and the dates you never want to miss into one private timeline.
Write a single line or keep the whole moment with photos, videos, Live Photos, voice notes, a quick sketch, places, how you felt, tags, and the people who were there. Come back later and leave a comment in a voice of your own, with the name and avatar that fit that moment. Trace is calm by design: no social feed, no public profile, no ads, and no pressure to perform.
KEEP WHAT MATTERS TOGETHER
- Journal: capture a quick thought or a full memory, with media, places, people, and your mood kept beside your words; file entries into notebooks, write for a day that has already passed, and leave comments on entries
- To-dos: plan by Today, Tomorrow, This Week, This Month, or a full timeline; review completed work, add tags, search, repeat tasks, move unfinished work forward, and choose whether untimed tasks join the start or end of a day
- Goals: build habits or work toward a date, check in each day, and review your progress by month or year
- People: give family, friends, partners, and anyone important a private timeline of shared moments; arrange people in your own order and reach them in one tap once you save a number or email
- Important dates: remember birthdays, anniversaries, countdowns, lunar dates, festivals, reminders, and remembrance days
- Today: see what needs your attention across journal entries, to-dos, goals, people, and upcoming dates
- Period Tracking (optional): start, finish, or backfill a period from Today; dates stay in Apple Health and appear in the journal calendar beside entries from those days
- Widgets and Live Activities: keep goals, to-dos, dates, and people close on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island; all five widgets refresh as a new day begins
LOOK BACK, SHARE, AND KEEP A COPY
On This Day brings old entries back at the right time, and Look Back lets you pull up a random entry, see the year in moods, and open the photo wall, year in review, and your map. Browse photos, video, and Live Photos full screen with paging and zoom, then share the original file. Turn any journal entry into one of six 3:4 artwork layouts that adapt to its words and media; a day, an important date, and your footprint map can also become polished share cards. Trace Pro can bind your journal into a searchable, print-ready A4 book with a title page, month sections, and media, created entirely on your iPhone.
MAKE TRACE FEEL LIKE YOURS
Choose from 24 complete light and dark themes and six typefaces that adapt to the app language, all free, including WenKai for Chinese, English, and Japanese. A new cat UI changes with the time of day on Today, with distinct illustrations on empty To-dos, Goals, Journal, and People pages. Trace Pro can also import TTF or OTF files stored only on this device. Backgrounds, cards, buttons, widgets, Live Activities, and share cards change together. If you use your own background photo, it stays right where it is.
FREE, PRIVATE, AND AD-FREE
The essentials stay free: unlimited journal entries, goals, people, to-dos, reminders, Period Tracking, themes, custom backgrounds, and private iCloud sync.
Use Trace fully offline or sync through your own iCloud. We run no content server and cannot read your journal. Period dates stay in Apple Health and never enter the Trace database, iCloud sync, or zip backups. No ads. No tracking. No public profile.
TRACE PRO (OPTIONAL)
Everyone can try Pro free for 30 days. After the trial, the core remains free. Pro adds journal comments with your own personas, unlimited important dates, up to 9 media items per entry, Live Activities, journal PDF export, and custom font imports. Choose a monthly, half-yearly, or yearly plan, or unlock Pro for good with a one-time Lifetime purchase.
