Your actual day, shared with your people. hodgepodge is a shared journal and daily check-in app for couples, close friends, accountability partners, and anyone who wants a better record of ordinary life. A private space for the people you actually know: no algorithm, no strangers, no performing. Each day: • Make a simple task list • Add up to 10 photos • Write one thought: something you noticed, learned, appreciated, or don't want to forget. A gratitude counts. So does a complaint. Then see what your people are doing, leave comments and reactions, and watch your days become a warm little grid. Stay close without another scheduled catch-up. Use hodgepodge to keep up with a long-distance partner, journal with your best friends, check in with an accountability partner, or keep a lightweight daily photo journal for yourself. Keep your memories in one place: especially the ones that would never survive the group chat. It's made for: • The ordinary stuff the group chat misses • Tasks you want someone else to know about • Photos you would never put in a photo dump • Small wins, unfinished errands and questionable lunches • Random Tuesdays you would otherwise forget Unfinished tasks carry forward automatically. Your photos become a visual mosaic. Your daily check-ins create a quiet record of where your time went. Not a highlight reel. Just your actual life and the people who care about it. Your tasks. Your photos. Your thoughts. Your people.
