Time always moves at the same pace. But because it feels so ordinary, we rarely stop to notice it. This app helps make the passage of time visible—showing how far the year has progressed and how much time remains—so you can treat each day with a little more care. There are no big goal-setting features or flashy tools. It simply and quietly shows you where you are, right now. --- ## What you can do with this app ### See the year’s progress at a glance * Instantly check how much of the year has passed, in percentage ### View remaining time in real time * Remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds Not to make you think “only X days left,” but to help you notice: “this is where I am now.” ### Automatically update your wallpaper * Generate a wallpaper that reflects the year’s progress * Update it automatically every day (Requires iOS Shortcuts. Clear, step-by-step instructions are included.) ### Home Screen widgets * Small, medium, and large sizes supported Check your progress without opening the app. ### Subtle notifications * Notifications at milestones such as 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% A gentle reminder to notice the passage of time. --- ## Recommended for people who * Don’t want to waste time, but don’t want to be managed by it * Don’t want the year to end “before they know it” * Prefer minimal, calm design * Want a small moment to pause each day --- ## About the design Information is kept to a minimum to reduce visual noise. The app is designed to stay quietly in your daily life— present, but never demanding attention. Time cannot be stopped. But you can choose how you notice it. If this app helps you value “today” just a little more, that’s more than enough.

About

Indelible Diary

Features
Read full description

Indelible Diary is a diary that preserves your words exactly as you wrote them. Like writing with ink on paper, each word settles into the page. You can correct text while it is still being composed, but once it is confirmed, it cannot be erased or rewritten. Even mistakes remain as a record of that moment. Each page holds one month. Scroll through the dates, swipe sideways between months, or use the month picker to return to any month. Features • An indelible writing experience for confirmed words • One month of diary entries on each notebook-style page • Horizontal swiping between months • Month picker and a shortcut to today • A practice area that does not save what you write • Face ID or Touch ID lock on supported devices • Automatic on-device diary storage Indelible Diary Pro is a one-time purchase that includes: • Full-text search across your diary • Entries from the same date in previous years • Random past entries • Every paper and ink color theme No account registration is required.
