That Day is a minimal timeline journal. Here, you don’t have to write long diary entries. Capture a single line, a photo, a voice note, a place, or how you felt in the moment—anytime, anywhere. We put everything in order and turn it into a day’s timeline. When you revisit that day later, you can quickly see what happened. ------ Effortless capture: tap the plus button to add photos, recordings, moods, locations, and text. Timeline journal: everything from the day stays in order—no polishing needed. That’s what makes it worth keeping. Your memory assets: sometimes a photo or a short sound brings back the moment better than a long paragraph. AI recap: turns your day’s inputs into a short recap, so it’s faster to read and easier to remember. Import & export: you can export or import your diary anytime. Privacy & security: supports App Lock and Face ID. Your data is stored on your device and in iCloud. ------ If what you want isn’t a “perfect” diary, but simply to remember what happened that day, you can try this lighter way to record your life. ------ Pricing Information: Pro Monthly Plan: $2.99 Pro Annual Plan: $24.99 Lifetime Access: $39.99 ------ Support Email: norasun@gmail.com ------ Terms of Use (Chinese): https://that-day.com/en/terms/ Privacy Policy (Chinese): https://that-day.com/en/privacy/ Licensed Application End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
