Hyphen is a quiet place for the details you would otherwise lose. Write a sentence, list, quotation, decision, observation, or full page. Every note belongs to its day, so you can move naturally through time and return by date, month, year, Chronicle, or search. WRITE WITHOUT FRICTION Capture a quick thought in place. Expand into the full editor when the thought becomes something larger. MARKDOWN MADE FOR IPHONE Use headings, emphasis, lists, checklists, quotations, links, and code without hunting through the iOS keyboard for punctuation. SEE YOUR DAYS TAKE SHAPE Move naturally between Day, Month, and Year, and view time as a quiet record of activity. Hyphen shows continuity without turning your writing into a streak game. FIND WHAT YOU WROTE Search your writing, browse Chronicle, and move directly back to the day where a thought belongs.

Note where you know them from and how to recognize them, so you’re never caught off guard. For every person, log your encounters: the date, the place, and a quick note about what happened or what to follow up on. Next time you see them, a quick glance at Jog brings it all back. Why you’ll like it: • Fast to add people and log encounters • Scan business cards and emails — all on‑device, nothing uploaded • A clean timeline of every encounter • Search across names, notes, companies and details • Completely private: no account, no cloud, no tracking — your data never leaves your iPhone Remember the people who matter.
