Missing a step doesn't mean you fell in. ZinggumDol is a gentle journal for the days that didn't go to plan. Talk things through with a little pebble, one reply at a time. The pebble speaks first. It remembers what you told it last time and asks how things went since. Tap a reply or type your own, and keep a record of what happened, how you felt and what you'll try next. TALK IT OVER WITH A PEBBLE Set a goal and the pebble keeps track of the days you made it and the days you got stuck. When a day slips by, it asks what got in the way, never what you did wrong. JUST SAY IT On days when writing feels like too much, say it out loud. Speech is recognized on your device, recordings are never saved, and on supported devices your words are cleaned up so they read easily. THE WAY YOU'VE COME Each week is laid out as a row of stepping stones. The days you missed stay there too. Nothing gets erased. WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN Look back at what happened, how you felt and what you'll try next, all in date order. WIDGET AND REMINDERS See a word from the pebble on your Home Screen, and get a gentle reminder at a time you pick to check in on your day. JUST FOR YOU No sign-up and no ads. Your entries stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and you can lock the app with a passcode. Nothing you write is ever sent to the developer. ZINGGUMDOL PRO Free with up to three goals. A one-time purchase, not a subscription, unlocks unlimited goals, six pebble finishes and exporting your entries as a text file.
