Lunarc — a better way to live today "What does today mean in the life you have left?" We live as if time were endless. Lunarc quietly reflects your remaining time, so you can see today more clearly. Not to frighten you — but as a positive awakening to how precious this moment is. ■ See your day at a glance From wake-up to bedtime, the Day Arc visualizes what remains of today. The time that has passed and the time that remains share one screen, so you can feel where you are in your day. ■ Give today meaning "Today is day N of your remaining life." A daily reflection card and a one-line note help you hold on to what each day meant. ■ Share a small light Lights are short moments of insight and comfort, shared under your nickname. Answer today's prompt in one sentence, and meet the lights others have shared. Time keeps flowing — and you don't have to move through it alone. ■ Design your time with purpose Plan with daily, weekly, and monthly timelines, and bring Apple and Google calendars into one place. Move and adjust your schedule with a single drag. ■ Focus on what matters today Sort what is important from what can wait with a priority matrix. Organize your day around what matters — and what you've done stays with you. ■ Lunarc Premium · Remove ads — a cleaner experience · Lock screen wallpapers — your remaining time on the screen you see most · Widget styles — make the home screen widget your own Choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase, processed through the App Store.

One date, several years, one page. Daynote is a 3-year and 5-year diary. Open today's page and you'll see what you wrote on this same date last year, and the year before, right there with today. Every time you write a few lines, you also get to read who you were a year ago. ■ 3 years · 5 years · one day · Switch between the 3-year, 5-year and one-page-a-day views at the top of the home screen. Your entries stay the same; only the view changes · On first launch, pick your book: 3 years or 5 years · The month index lays out a whole month as dots, one row per year. A dot is a day you wrote; a circle is today · Bottom tabs: Home, Calendar, Search, Look back, Settings ■ Circle it and start writing · Each page has printed rows for the weekday, the weather (8 kinds) and your mood (5 steps). Just circle today's with the pen · Your words appear in a handwriting font · Under the page, one line from "1 year ago today" · An empty page starts with a question for the day. There's one fixed question for each date, so every year you answer the same question on the same day · No save button. Everything saves as you type ■ Stamps and stickers · 12 free type stamps plus free sticker packs to decorate your lines · Stickers stick to the sentence, not the screen, so they move with it when you edit ■ Two themes · Typeset (free, default): blue-gray cover with printed pages · Deco Pink (paid, one-time): spiral binding, pastel month tabs, handwritten fonts throughout and 41 stickers in 6 sets. Try it on your own diary before you buy ■ Look back Your last 12 weeks at a glance, when and in what weather you tend to write, and the words you use most. No streaks, no scores. Tap any square to open that day's entry. ■ Storage and backup · Everything works without an account. Your diary is saved on this device · If you like, sign in with Apple, Kakao and more to keep the same diary across devices · A backup file is made automatically once a day in iCloud; the latest 7 are kept · Lock the app with a passcode or Face ID · Export your whole diary as a JSON file, or share today's page as an image ■ iPad On a wide screen the diary opens into a two-page spread: the same date across the years on the left, today's page to write on the right. ■ Only two purchases, both one-time · Remove ads · Deco Pink theme No subscriptions. The free version shows ads. A text-only diary: no photos, just your words. App languages: English, 한국어, 日本語
