One line a day. That's the whole app. No prompts to answer. No streaks to lose. No guilt. Just one sentence about today — it takes thirty seconds. And here's the magic: every day, Everline shows you what you wrote on this exact date in years past. The longer you keep it, the more it gives back. Pay once — $1.49 — and it's yours for life. Never a subscription. EVERY YEAR, TODAY WRITES BACK Each morning opens to today's date and the lines you wrote on this day one, two, ten years ago. Ordinary days become a story. Your story. A YEAR YOU CAN SEE Every line you keep lights a dot in your year's constellation. Watch a year fill with golden days — and tap any dot to read it again. REMEMBER THIS? Everline occasionally resurfaces one past line — a small letter from who you were. Days you've starred come back more often. YOUR YEAR IN REVIEW Days remembered, your longest thread, where the year began and where it stands — beautifully typeset and ready to share. GENTLE REMINDERS THAT NEVER NAG A soft nudge each evening, on the days and times you choose. Already wrote today? No reminder. Ever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your words live on your phone — not on a server. No account. No cloud. No tracking. We can't read your journal, and neither can anyone else. Back it up to a file you control, restore it anywhere. PAY ONCE, KEEP FOREVER Try Everline free for 7 days. Then one payment of $1.49 unlocks it for life. No subscription, no upsells — and your past entries stay readable forever, no matter what. Thirty seconds tonight. A time machine next year. Write your first line.
