Tag moments. See patterns. That's it. Pattiny is a calm, private place to log the small moments of your day and watch the patterns appear over time. Keep one list or many — a mood, your sleep, a workout, a kid's day, your work days — just for you, or shared with family or a friend to log into together. Whatever you name them, logging is the same simple move: pick a list, tap a colour, and you're done. No streaks to chase, no badges, no noise. Just a quiet instrument for noticing. CAPTURE IN UNDER THREE SECONDS • Tap one of a list's colour buttons to log a moment; add a short name if you like • Names autocomplete from your past entries, ranked by recency and frequency • Add an optional note, a context tag, or back-date when it happened • Log straight from the Home Screen widget in one tap, with a mini heatmap strip CAPTURE IS ALWAYS FREE • Unlimited lists and unlimited entries — logging is never paywalled • iCloud sync across your own devices — no account, no sign-up, no password • Works fully on your device when you are not signed into iCloud SEE YOUR PATTERNS • A recent heatmap for each list, plus a 7-day colour sparkline on every list row • A weekly report computed on your device: colour counts, change vs last week, top recurring names, and your busiest and toughest weekday • Best and worst streaks — informational, never nagging PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No Pattiny servers, no Pattiny account, no login • Your data lives on your device and in your own private iCloud, encrypted by Apple — the maker never sees it • Nothing is sent anywhere for analytics; there is no analytics SDK and no Pattiny endpoint • Export and delete are built in — the data is yours BUILT FOR EVERYONE • Colour-blind friendly: show colours, symbols, or both • Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support • Optional Face ID or Touch ID lock • iPhone and iPad, with a three-column layout on iPad • English and German SHARE WITH PEOPLE YOU TRUST (PLUS) Keep your lists to yourself, or share one with the people it concerns: • Invite family or a friend to a single list — a shared baby log, a household mood, a workout you keep together • They join as a contributor, who can add entries, or a viewer, who can only follow along • Everyone's entries stay in sync automatically across all your devices, through your own iCloud — no Pattiny account for anyone PATTINY PLUS An optional subscription unlocks more: • Shared lists — invite family or a friend to log into one list together, as a contributor or a viewer • On-device AI summaries — a short read on how your week or month went, generated on your device with Apple Intelligence.
