Footnotes is your walking journal. Every walk is quietly tracked (route, steps, distance, weather) and every thought along the way is saved: voice notes transcribed to text, photos pinned to the exact spot, short written notes. One-time purchase, no subscription. Private by design. Start a walk from the Home Screen widget, keep an eye on it in the Live Activity, and add a note without unlocking your phone. Later, export any walk as a Markdown page with its GPX route, ready for your notes app or your maps. Not sure yet? Open the sample walk and see what a finished walk looks like before you take your first one. Unlike fitness apps, Footnotes avoids cluttered metrics, calorie counts, or competitive goals. It's not about performance or social validation, it's about reflection, presence, and the simple pleasure of walking. A one-time purchase, not another subscription. For the price of a coffee, you get lifetime access to Footnotes, including all future updates and features. No recurring fees. No hidden plans. Your walks and thoughts belong to you, and so does the app. Privacy first. Always. Your routes, notes, and photos never leave your iPhone and your own iCloud. There is no account, no login, and no Footnotes server holding your memories. Sync between devices happens privately through iCloud, only if you want it. Your feedback truly matters, so please consider leaving a rating or sharing suggestions for future updates. We'd love to hear from you! Footnotes is your walking diary: a companion for mindful walking and reflective thinking, where steps meet thoughts.

Daily Intention

Daily Intention is a quiet practice. One word. One day. North turns the timeless idea of a daily intention into a 30-second ritual that fits any life — secular, simple, and beautifully designed. THE PRACTICE Each morning, you commit: "Today, I will be ___." Pick from a curated list — brave, present, patient, honest — or type your own. Your daily intention sets the tone for the day. At midday, North gently asks: where has the word shown up? One small note. The app waits. At sunset, you reflect. Did you live your daily intention? Lived it. Sort of. Not today. One tap. Done. Sundays bring a gentle wrap — your seven words, your rhythm, your patterns over time. WHY NORTH Most mindfulness apps demand minutes you don't have, or push spiritual frameworks that don't fit. North asks for 30 seconds total across the day. No streaks pressuring you. No guilt for missing a day. Just a small daily mark of who you are choosing to be. A daily intention isn't a goal. It's not a habit tracker. It's a way of being — for today. FEATURES Curated daily intention library across themes: courage, calm, gratitude, focus, growth. Custom intentions — type your own word. Apple Watch app: pick, reflect, glance. Lock Screen widgets — your daily intention, always one glance away. Sunday wrap — your week as patterns. Calendar heatmap — see your rhythm. Full history and export. iCloud sync, no account, no tracking. Beautifully crafted typography and paper aesthetic. PRIVACY Your daily intention is yours alone. Everything stored on your device, synced via iCloud. No analytics, no ads, no account. PRICING North is free to use. Upgrade to North Plus for custom intentions, all themes and widgets, calendar heatmap, Apple Watch, weekly insights, and full export. Yearly $19.99 with 7-day free trial. Lifetime $49.99 (one-time). A daily intention takes 30 seconds. Practice it for a week and you'll feel the rhythm. A month, and the patterns emerge. A year, and you'll have a record of who you've been becoming. One word. One day. - Privacy: https://affirma.me/north/privacy - Terms: https://affirma.me/north/terms
