Pokus vs Daymark

Daymark asks one question at the end of the day: did you win it, or lose it? Tap Won or Lost, write down what made it either, and that's the whole ritual. A minute a day builds something you can't get from memory alone — the shape of how you're actually living. And seeing that shape is what makes you change it. THREE WAYS TO SEE TIME Zoom with a pinch, or the D / M / Y letters. • D — one month, day by day. • M — a full year as twelve small months, so a bad stretch is impossible to miss. • Y — your whole life in weeks, one row per year of age. The weeks you've lived are behind you; the ones you haven't are still blank. A JOURNAL, NOT A CHORE Give a day a title and write as much or as little as you like. Add photos when words won't do, or record an audio memo. Everything you've ever written is one swipe away and searchable by word or by date. HABITS, IF YOU WANT THEM Add the habits that make a day good, then set the rule: complete this many and the day counts as won on its own. Every habit keeps its own statistics — completion rate, current streak, the last thirty days. Prefer to judge for yourself? Add no habits and Daymark stays a plain journal. YOUR ENTRIES ARE YOURS No account. No analytics. Nothing sent anywhere. When you first open Daymark you choose whether entries stay on your iPhone or sync through your own iCloud, and you can export everything to a file — or import it back — whenever you like.
