A private diary, just for you. To Me is a gentle wall. Whatever you want to say, just write it down. It listens quietly and faithfully keeps it for you. · Just open and write: a single line is an entry too. · Timeline: look back on the days you've written, month by month. · iCloud Sync: switch phones, keep your diary. · Export Entries: take your diary with you anytime. · Diary Lock: lock it with Face ID, so only you can open it. · Search: type a few words to find what you're looking for. · Home Screen widget: a smiling face, there whenever you look. · Apple Watch: raise your wrist to jot down a line. It's saved to your diary once your iPhone is connected. · Dark Mode: easy on the eyes when you write at night. · Recently Deleted: get back entries you deleted by mistake. About Your Old Entries Before 2023, To Me didn't have iCloud Sync, so your entries were saved only on the phone you were using at the time. When you switch phones, move them with Quick Start or an iCloud backup. Please don't delete To Me before the transfer is done — deleting the app deletes your entries too. - Feedback: hustlzp@qq.com - Privacy Policy: https://hustlzp.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-1ea49e579aef40178342e505d2687df4 - Terms of Use: https://hustlzp.notion.site/Terms-of-Use-6b5fbd8724ac4ed7bfdbc1a141a99891
