## What is Tracejar?

Tracejar is a private journal that's yours alone.

Capture your day in seconds — text, photos, videos, voice notes, mood, tags, and (optionally) where you were. Everything lives on your device and, if you choose, in your own private iCloud. There are no servers, no analytics, no ads, and no third‑party SDKs. We never see your entries.

WHY TRACEJAR
• Truly private — no accounts, no sign‑up, no tracking. Your data never touches our servers because we don't have any.
• Yours to keep — sync across your devices with your private iCloud, or turn sync off and stay fully local.
• Effortless — a calm timeline grouped by day. Add a photo, a voice note, a mood, a tag, and you're done.
• Two looks — switch between a warm "Standard" theme and a monospaced "ASCII terminal" theme in Settings. Same features, your vibe.

FACE ID LOCK & DECOY MODE (optional)
Lock the app with Face ID so only you can open it. Turn on Decoy Mode and, if Face ID doesn't recognize you, Tracejar shows an ordinary‑looking, empty‑feeling timeline instead of a lock screen — so a glance at your phone reveals nothing. You return to your real entries by long‑pressing the settings icon and entering your passcode (or with Face ID). The passcode is stored only on your device and is never synced.

EVERYTHING ELSE
• Real‑time #hashtag highlighting while you write
• Long‑press to paste text or an image straight into an entry
• "On This Day" to revisit past entries
• Export everything to CSV whenever you want
• Left‑ and right‑hand layouts
• iPhone and iPad

No ads. No subscriptions. No account. Just a quiet place that's only yours.
