One honest sentence about your day, one tap for how you felt, and you're done in ten seconds. Over time those single lines turn into something you can actually read back — and into patterns you couldn't see while living them. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED One price, paid once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, nothing locked. â€Ē Unlimited entries, with a one-tap mood for each â€Ē Your full history, browsable by calendar â€Ē Year in Pixels — your whole year as one grid of colour â€Ē Monthly reports, with your streak and your best day â€Ē Mood Connections — which activities and which weather actually move your mood â€Ē Recent patterns — a short read on how your last two weeks went â€Ē Voice entries, mood doodles, up to 3 photos per entry â€Ē Time capsules — write to yourself, delivered months from now â€Ē Your own activity tags, with your own icons â€Ē Share any day as a card â€Ē Export everything to CSV or JSON, any time PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account.
