Every day, you capture one photo, choose your mood, and add a short note. It takes less than a minute. No social feed. No likes. No performance. Just one intentional moment. Over time, Dear Today turns your entries into: • A visual timeline of your life • Mood patterns across weeks and months • Emotional insights you can actually see • Monthly photo recaps and collages • Gentle reflection prompts It combines a photo diary, mood tracker, and self reflection tool in one simple ritual you can sustain.
