Dear Today
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your camera roll is full. But your weeks still feel blurry. Dear Today is a private visual diary and mood journal designed for busy people who want emotional clarity without writing pages. 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. You don’t need to document everything. Just one photo. One feeling. Because memories are visual. And understanding them changes how you live. Terms of use: https://www.chippstudio.ee/dear_today/terms

The Anti-Diary is a private place to write what you need to get out without turning every thought into something you have to keep. Start a writing session and say the version you might not say out loud. When you’re finished, you decide what happens next: keep it, delete it, burn it, or send it to the void. If there are things you want to say to someone without actually sending them, the optional Unsent Pack gives you a separate space for unsent messages, emails, and voicemails. Write the text. Draft the email. Record the voicemail. Nothing is delivered to the person you entered. If you choose to keep an entry, Saved Entries gives you a private place to revisit it later. Your first saved entry is included, with an optional one-time purchase available for unlimited saved entries. Saved Entries can also be protected with Face ID, Touch ID, your iPhone passcode, a custom PIN, or a password. The app also uses a privacy shield when you leave it so your writing is not displayed in the app switcher. No pressure to document your life. No requirement to find a lesson in what you wrote. Sometimes you just need somewhere to put it. Write. Wreck. Release. Optional features require a one-time in-app purchase.
