This is a diary that decays. Every word you write begins to disappear from the moment you set it down. Fading, displaced, repeating — then nothing. Not because you deleted it. Because time decided. Open it tomorrow and you'll find yesterday's words are fewer. Last week's entry is barely legible. The one from three months ago is just a date. This is not a bug. This is the design. It's simple to use. Open the app, write what you want to say today. You can write a lot or just a line. Before midnight you can keep adding — but you cannot edit what you've already written. At midnight, it locks. The decay begins. Tomorrow is a new page. This is a real diary. Write it. Then let it go.
