Gunluk
Read full descriptionHide full description
Günlük is designed not to save what you write — but to let it go. Sometimes you want to say something but there's no one to tell. Sometimes writing alone isn't enough; those words need to leave. That's exactly what Günlük is for. BURN Give your words to the fire. Feel the relief of letting go as the letters burn away. DISSOLVE IN WATER Watch your words dissolve and drift into the water. Feel lighter. TEAR Rip the page in two. Sometimes that's all you need. SEAL Keep the days you want to hold onto in your personal star map. Every entry becomes a star in the sky. UNSENT LETTERS Write what you couldn't send or couldn't say out loud. It never reaches any server. It's just for the sake of having said it. Günlük doesn't store your data. What you write stays only on your device.
