A journaling app to capture life as it happens — track moods, write notes, save photos, and organize your memories with tags. Key features: • Quick journaling for thoughts, moods, and moments • Tag entries to build collections automatically • Photo journaling to capture memories visually • Flexible: use as a diary, planner, or life tracker • No rigid structure — write as little or as much as you want Unpack is built for the moments you don’t want to lose — big or small, planned or spontaneous. Jot down a quick thought, log your mood, save a photo, or outline what’s next. Everything goes in as easily as it comes to you. Instead of forcing your life into rigid entries, you can tag anything you add. Over time, those tags turn into living collections: your trips, ideas, routines, phases, and memories automatically organized and easy to revisit. Use it as a journal, a mood tracker, a planning space, or all of the above. However you use it, the goal is simple: make capturing your life effortless, and make coming back to it meaningful. No pressure to write long entries. No complicated structure. Just capture, tag, and let your story take shape. -- Privacy Policy: https://and.notion.site/Unpack-Privacy-Policy-341eb9a83adb80388687f064070e877c EULA: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
