One Minute Diary vs NotUrgent

A diary you don't have to write. Speak for a minute, add a photo and how you feel, and your day becomes a memory bubble you can revisit for years. ONE MINUTE A DAY, JUST FOR YOU Do you like the idea of keeping a diary, but it always felt like too much effort? One Minute Diary is made for exactly that. You simply talk for a minute, or write if you prefer. A gentle daily question helps when you don't know where to start. Over time, your days grow into a collection of memories that you can wander through, years from now. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Capture a memory in a minute: speak or write, add a photo, choose your mood • Travel back in time and rediscover forgotten moments, with smooth animations • Capture every day, or only the special ones, whenever it feels right • A daily mindfulness question, also as a gentle reminder • Choose the colors you like • Encrypted or unencrypted backups you keep yourself PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your memories stay on your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. THE STORY BEHIND THE APP I'm Adrian, a psychologist (MSc) and iOS developer. I always wanted to keep a diary, but I never managed to stick with it. So I built the diary I would actually use: quick, calm, and a little playful. After a while I realized I'm not the only one with that problem, so I'm sharing it with you. If you enjoy the app, a 5-star rating helps me a lot. And if you have feedback, you can write to me directly from the settings. I read every message. Adrian

NotUrgent is a private pressure reset for modern work. When a message, deadline, or racing thought makes everything feel urgent, NotUrgent gives you a short pause before you react. Start a reset, check what actually needs attention, and choose a calmer next step. What you can do: - Start a quick pressure reset when urgency spikes - Log the pressure without writing a long journal entry - Tag what created the pressure: work, home, future planning, or another context - Add a short note only when it helps - See weekly reflections, pressure profiles, and risk windows - Use widgets, Siri, Shortcuts, and system surfaces to start faster - Keep raw notes and logs private on your device NotUrgent is built for people who live inside messages, deadlines, notifications, Slack pings, email pressure, and the quiet feeling that everything needs an answer right now. It is not a medical app and does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. It is a private reflection and self-regulation tool for noticing pressure before it runs your day. Premium unlocks deeper pressure profiles, risk windows, longer history, and more personal pattern insights. Pause before you react.
