On-Device AI Voice Recognition – Converts voice to text without an internet connection. Your voice data never leaves your device. Record safely while driving or moving.

Remember with Location – Automatically records where you wrote your memo. Keep track of when and where your ideas were born.

at8pm is your honest journal. Every entry you write today locks at a time you choose — 8pm by default. Once it locks, that's it: no editing, no rewriting history, no quietly polishing what you actually felt in the moment. Just an honest record of your day, exactly as you wrote it. WRITE HOWEVER FITS THE MOMENT Type it out with rich text: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough. Or just talk — record a voice note right inside an entry and see it as a waveform, or capture a Squope, a quick square video note. No typing required. Add a photo or a location if the moment needs it. A HABIT THAT STICKS Keep your streak going day by day. A quick glance at your lock ring shows how much time is left before today closes — and a tap shows your current streak alongside it. MADE TO BE SHARED, SOMETIMES Turn any entry into a beautifully designed card — pick from several styles — and share it straight to Instagram Stories or anywhere else. Your private thoughts stay private until you decide otherwise. GENUINELY PRIVATE Entries sync across your devices with your own private iCloud account — never a third-party server. Lock the whole app behind Face ID for an extra layer of privacy. AT8PM PRO at8pm is free to download and use for up to 2 entries per day. An active at8pm Pro subscription unlocks unlimited entries and all features mentioned. at8pm Pro is an auto-renewing subscription purchased in the app. If you do not cancel before the free trial (if applicable) ends, the subscription auto-renews at the price of your selected plan.
