Mouton Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
A private journal that feels like a social feed, with a small lamb who reads along, replies softly, and answers back when you reply. Post the things you wouldn't post anywhere else. A few minutes later, Mouton comes by. It matches your mood, notices your photos, and remembers what you wrote this week. Some days it just leaves a like. It never lectures, and it answers in the language you write in. Reply to it, and it replies again soon. Everything you like about a feed. None of the audience. β’ Timeline with likes, quotes, and comments β’ Up to five photos, videos, or Live Photos in one entry. Press and hold a Live Photo and the moment moves again β’ Links unfold into previews on their own β’ A calendar with a dot on every day you wrote, including days you go back to fill in β’ Search that runs on your iPhone, instantly β’ Write offline. It syncs when you're back online β’ Lock any entry so Mouton never sees it β’ Export everything as a PDF, replies included It's your diary. It acts like one. Entries are saved on your iPhone first. Write five with no account, and nothing leaves your phone. Terms of Use: https://mouton.told.me/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://mouton.told.me/privacy/

I made this app for myself because I struggle with self-management. Daily to-dos, routines, important plans, and habits. It helps you follow through on the things you want to do and keep building. I hope this app I made for myself can support someone else's everyday life. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
