Moïchi vs Five Year Diary

Capture your day in 30 seconds. One sentence. One doodle. That's it. Moïchi is the simplest journal in the world. No long entries to write. Just the essence of your day, and a quick drawing for your mood. --- It's 10pm. The day is over. The kids are asleep. The dishes are done. Or maybe not. It doesn't matter. You think back on today. Things happened. Small things. Important things. A coffee with someone you like. Your child's smile after school. A tiredness you can't quite explain. In a week, you'll have forgotten. In a month, this day will be gone. As if it never existed. --- Tonight, you open Moïchi. A cozy little room appears. Soft light. A sofa. A cat sleeping peacefully. You write one sentence. Maybe two. "Tired, but happy. Lea took her first steps." Then, with your finger, you draw your mood. A sun. A heart. A little scribble. Thirty seconds. Done. --- WHY MOICHI IS DIFFERENT • 30 seconds max — no pressure, no guilt • Unique mood drawing — no other app does this • Zero streaks — no aggressive gamification • 100% private — your data stays on your phone • Cozy design — a little cat keeps you company --- Time passes. One rainy day, you open the calendar. Each day carries your drawing. You recognize the hard times — heavy strokes, clouds. You recognize the light days — stars, clumsy hearts. You tap a random date. July. "Picnic with Dad. He laughed a lot today." Your father is gone now. But that moment still exists. Those words still exist. And that little sun you drew that day, too. --- FEATURES • Quick writing (1-2 lines) • Free drawing with finger or Apple Pencil • Visual mood calendar • 3 themes: Day, Night, Autumn • PDF export of your memories • iPhone and iPad support --- FREE 30-day rolling history Unlimited mood drawings Day theme PREMIUM — one-time purchase (no subscription) Unlimited history 3 exclusive themes PDF export Support an indie developer --- No subscription. One purchase. Lifetime access. Because your memories don't have an expiration date. --- The cat stretches in the morning. It falls asleep at night. It doesn't ask anything of you. It's there. It waits for you. Your little quiet corner, in a life that moves fast.

Write today, and the same day from last year and the year before appear on the very same page. Gonen Diary is a five-year diary that shows five years of one date on a single page.
