Trace is a calm, private journaling space built around music. Each day, Trace suggests a single prompt to help you get started. You can respond to it, write about something else entirely, or skip it altogether. Pair your words with a song that fits the moment and move on with your day. Over time, your entries form a personal archive. Moments are remembered through both words and sound, making it easy to recognize and revisit how things felt at different points in your life. How Trace works - A suggested daily prompt you can follow or ignore - Choose a song to match the moment - Revisit past entries through a clean timeline, grid, or calendar - Add unlimited moods, gratitude entries, or quick notes anytime Trace is designed to fit into your life quietly.
