Some days feel ordinary—until they become the moments you miss most. DayTrace is a warm, private journal for keeping the life you are actually living. Save a sentence, a set of photos, a video, or simply how the day felt. Over time, those small moments become a personal story you can revisit through your timeline and calendar. CAPTURE A DAY YOUR WAY Write freely and add photos, videos, or Live Photos. Enrich each entry with a mood, weather, time, and place, then favorite the moments you want close at hand. SEE YOUR LIFE TAKE SHAPE Follow recent days along a visual timeline and see recorded moments at a glance on your monthly calendar. Monthly stats and gentle prompts help reveal your own rhythm. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Your journal text, moods, and media are stored locally on your device by default. DayTrace currently includes no advertising SDKs and no cross-app behavioral tracking. Location is used for place and weather only after you grant permission, and manual entry remains available. MAKE THE SPACE YOURS Choose from 12 visual themes and customize page artwork and motion to give your journal a look that feels personal. CELEBRATE SHOWING UP Watch your recorded days, streak, photos, and videos grow over time. Thirty achievements mark meaningful firsts and longer rhythms—from your first entry and mood to a growing archive of everyday life. MORE THAN A JOURNAL Keep a wishlist, check in with habits, start a quiet focus timer, or catch an idea in a quick note. Write deeply when you can; save one small thing when you cannot. Your day does not have to be extraordinary to be worth remembering. Start with today.
