Helped a lot!" "At some point this year, I was struggling with severe anxiety. I felt like I was going nowhere. I started to use this app to track my symptoms - I hoped that I would eventually see it trending down in the app. And, of course, it soon did." "It's easy to stop caring for yourself when you're immersed by something. I was working on this new project for a few weeks pretty much non-stop, and just ignoring everything else. But once I saw that my 'How do you feel today physically?' score was heading down rather dramatically, I realized that I had to at least go for a walk once a day." "Helped me escape a toxic relationship - I was responding 'this sucks' pretty much every single day. Data doesn't lie" FEATURES: • Create your own questions, whatever's important to you! "Did I drink too much coffee today"? "How's my pet turtle doing"? "Did I go for a run this morning"? Whatever you need! • Need inspiration?

About

One Question Journal

Read full description

One question a day. In time, the chapters of your life. Every day, a single question appears. You answer it once, then it's sealed. No editing. No rewriting. No polishing. One honest sentence is enough. YOUR LIFE, IN CHAPTERS Keep writing and One Question starts to see the stretches your life fell into: a town you lived in, a summer away, something you kept at, a person who filled your days, a season. Each one becomes a chapter, named and dated, opening with your own first line. • Where it happened and how it began • A cover for every chapter, painted on your device by Image Playground • With Pro: how it felt, moments you might have forgotten, what changed, and then and now, side by side • With Pro: what the whole stretch meant, told back to you by Apple Intelligence Chapters wait until there's enough behind them to be true. BRING YOUR YEARS WITH YOU Import from Day One, Apple's Journal app, Journey or Daylio, or any JSON, CSV, Markdown, text or PDF file. Dates, places, titles and moods come across, so your timeline, map, chapters and On This Day are full from your first day. Changed your mind? Take an import back in one tap. EVERY DAY • A new question every day, and a reminder at the hour you actually write • Sealed the moment you save • Mark how you felt, or leave it blank • Keep the place you wrote from, if you want to • A few words back after you write, drawn from the days behind your entry LOOKING BACK • Memories: search every entry by words, places or people • On This Day: what you wrote a week, a month, a year ago • Rediscover: a past day worth finding again • Journal Map: every place you've written from, coloured by how you felt • Last week and last month, looked back on, with a line of your own from each • Insights: streaks, mood patterns, and Year in Review, the whole year as a calendar of moods WHEREVER YOU WRITE • Apple Watch, with dictation, mood logging and complications • iPad and Apple Vision Pro • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Apple Health: your writing counts as Mindful Minutes, if you allow it PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your entries live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. No analytics are collected on what you write. Chapters, reflections and cover paintings are made on your device, and your writing is never sent anywhere to be read. Export everything as plain text whenever you like. ONE QUESTION PRO Writing, moods, places, the map, Memories, Insights and your list of chapters are free. Pro opens what's inside each chapter: how it felt, the moments worth finding again, what changed, then and now, and what it all meant. It also opens place chapters, every town month by month, and the rest of Rediscover. Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings. Apple Intelligence features need a compatible device with Apple Intelligence turned on. Without it, chapters and reflections are written plainly, from the facts of your entries. Open the app. Answer. Close. Come back tomorrow.
