Your private intimacy journal. On your device. Yours alone. Hook is a private journal for your relationships and intimate life. Reflect on the moments that matter and see your story unfold over time. Everything stays on your device, locked behind Face ID. No accounts, no cloud, no sharing. Hook is a personal journal — not a dating service or social network. It's built for adults who want a private space for personal reflection: couples keeping a shared journal, individuals reflecting on their relationships, anyone who values a truly private place for their own story. PRIVACY FIRST Your entries live on your device. No accounts, no servers, no sync unless you turn it on. Face ID or passcode locks the app from launch. iCloud Backup is optional, off by default. Private health reminders on your own cadence. WHAT YOU CAPTURE The moments that matter — when, where, and how you felt. Notes, moods, and tags you build yourself. Personal entries, or shared entries with a partner. WHO'S IN YOUR STORY Every partner gets a profile: a color, emoji, or photo avatar, plus the details you choose to remember — birthdays, preferences, and cycle tracking. WHAT YOU SEE A heatmap of your year. Patterns over time. Mood and location breakdowns. A clear view of your own story. YOUR STORY, MAPPED Pin meaningful moments to a map and revisit the places that have been part of your story. HOOK+ Unlimited profiles. Full stats. Map view. No ads. BUILT FOR Adults of every gender, orientation, and relationship structure. If you want a private place to capture and reflect on your own story, this is for you. Available in 12 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Your story, clearly. Yours alone.

Remember the little things in life. When was the last time you got a haircut? How long has it been since you called your parents? How often do you play badminton? How much have you spent on water bills this year? Since helps you keep track of the everyday things that are easy to forget—but useful to remember. 【Track Any Life Event】 Create an event for anything you want to remember. Haircuts. Water bills. Calling your parents. Badminton. Dental cleanings. Car maintenance. Or anything else that matters to you. There are no rules about what you can track. Just create an event and record it whenever it happens. 【Know When It Last Happened】 Every time you add a record, Life Events automatically shows: • When it last happened • How many times it happened • How long since the last time • Your average time between events No more guessing. Just open an event and see the answer. 【Add a Record in Seconds】 When something happens, simply record it. The date defaults to today, but you can change it to any past date—perfect for adding events you remember later. You can also add an optional amount and note. 【Track Spending When You Need To】 Amounts are completely optional. If you add an amount to your records, Life Events automatically gives you useful spending insights: • Total amount • Average amount • Highest amount • Lowest amount • Monthly and yearly totals For example, record each water bill and see how much you’ve spent throughout the year. It is not a traditional budgeting app. It simply helps you understand the spending attached to the things you already track. 【Start with Templates】 Not sure what to track? Browse ready-to-use event templates organized by category: • Personal Care • Home & Family • Health • Family & Friends • Sports & Activities • Car & Maintenance Choose a template and add it to your events with one tap. 【Your Life, Your Timeline】 Since isn’t a to-do list. It isn’t a habit tracker. It isn’t a traditional expense tracker. It’s a simple way to remember what happened in your life—and understand the time between those moments. Record it once. Then, whenever you wonder: “When was the last time?” You’ll have the answer. Terms of Service: https://zeekstudio.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://zeekstudio.com/privacy.html
