Your private intimacy journal. On your device. Yours alone. Hook is a private journal for your relationships and intimate life. Reflect on the moments that matter and see your story unfold over time. Everything stays on your device, locked behind Face ID. No accounts, no cloud, no sharing. Hook is a personal journal — not a dating service or social network. It's built for adults who want a private space for personal reflection: couples keeping a shared journal, individuals reflecting on their relationships, anyone who values a truly private place for their own story. PRIVACY FIRST Your entries live on your device. No accounts, no servers, no sync unless you turn it on. Face ID or passcode locks the app from launch. iCloud Backup is optional, off by default. Private health reminders on your own cadence. WHAT YOU CAPTURE The moments that matter — when, where, and how you felt. Notes, moods, and tags you build yourself. Personal entries, or shared entries with a partner. WHO'S IN YOUR STORY Every partner gets a profile: a color, emoji, or photo avatar, plus the details you choose to remember — birthdays, preferences, and cycle tracking. WHAT YOU SEE A heatmap of your year. Patterns over time. Mood and location breakdowns. A clear view of your own story. YOUR STORY, MAPPED Pin meaningful moments to a map and revisit the places that have been part of your story. HOOK+ Unlimited profiles. Full stats. Map view. No ads. BUILT FOR Adults of every gender, orientation, and relationship structure. If you want a private place to capture and reflect on your own story, this is for you. Available in 12 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Your story, clearly. Yours alone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Spicee at every 8 days against Hook's every 2 months. Spicee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Hook's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spicee sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Hook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spicee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hook has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Spicee ships an update every 8 days, Hook every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
