About
For people who tried journaling and stopped.
Vapor asks for one word a day. How did today feel? Type the word, add a line if the day needs one, and you're done. Thirty seconds.
Then the words add up. After a month you have a mood calendar you can read at a glance, a cloud of what you've felt most, and Soul Weather: a short forecast of your inner weather, written from phrases a person wrote by hand.
Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking.
The breath before the word. Each day, before you write, Vapor pauses. A breathing horizon. Recent words drifting past. Tap when you're ready, or skip it.
See yourself across time. The Calendar shows every word you've written, month by month. The Words screen builds a cloud of your most-used words, a top 10, and full-history search.
Your inner weather. Soul Weather reads your recent words and writes you a forecast. A glyph, a phrase, a 7-day look back. Hand-written, never generated.
Write to your future self. Seal today's word and a short letter for a week, a month or a year. When the date arrives, your past self meets your present self.
You've shown up. Vapor counts the days you write, and says so kindly. No streak panic, no nagging notifications.
Beneath the word. Tap your word of the day: art born from the word, its definition, the last time you wrote it. If you choose, an anonymous count of how many people wrote the same word today. Off by default.
Your circles. A small, invite-only group where each person sees the others' one word. No comments, no likes. End-to-end encrypted, so not even our server can read them.
Keep it safe. Encrypted backup puts your whole journal in one file, locked with a passphrase only you know. Free, always.
Vapor Premium. The journal is free and stays free. Premium is for seeing more of your words, and it starts with a free trial.
• Monthly recap film. A short film of your month in words.
• High-resolution printables. Frame your words.
• Weighted glow. Your most-felt words quietly shine.
• Six palettes and display typefaces for your word.
• Ritual soundscapes, custom milestones and custom-date letters.
Honest about its limits. Vapor is a mirror, not therapy. Crisis resources for 50 countries ship inside, always offline, never logged. If you're going through something, please talk to someone real.
Why it stays on your phone. Vapor stores everything locally. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. The only network calls: optional dictionary lookups (just the typed word), Apple's purchase check if you subscribe, and two things you choose: the anonymous word count and circles.
Also inside: widgets for Home Screen and Lock Screen, Face ID lock, CSV export, a dictionary in 6 languages, and the whole app in 12 languages.
Built solo in Melbourne. Free to use. Vapor Premium is an optional subscription with a free trial. No ads.
