Softly vs Today.

Softly is a private journal for your days. No achievements. No streaks. No productivity metrics. Just you, a word when you want one, and a space that comes back every night to receive you the way you arrived. WRITE HOWEVER FEELS RIGHT Free diary, gratitude in three lines, a mood with a tap of a moon, or an affirmation when you need to hear it. Four ways to leave the day without losing it. YOUR MONTH IN WATERCOLOR Each day lights up with the color of how you felt. A hand-painted emotional calendar — not a bar chart. YOUR CONSTELLATION OF WORDS The words that return most to your writing appear as a constellation that shifts with you. You see patterns without anyone interpreting them for you. TIME CAPSULES Seal a piece of writing today (AES-GCM encrypted). Open it in a month, a year — whenever you're ready to listen to yourself again. TOTAL PRIVACY Everything lives on your device. On-device speech recognition. Face ID for your space. No tracking, no accounts, no server watching. WATERCOLORS THAT BREATHE Each time you return, a new variant of a sprig, flower, or lavender greets you. The notebook changes with you. Softly is for the days you want to write — and for the days you only wanted to open the app. Here, both count.

Today. is a journal for the moments between moments. Most journaling apps wait for you to sit down and write a page. Today. is built for the quick, interstitial captures you make all day — a thought on a walk, a line after a meeting, a photo, a voice memo, a single sentence. A sentence is enough. But when you do want to sit and write at length, the full editor is right there. Jot a line or compose a considered entry — the same calm place fits both. Then, when you want to look back, Today. helps you make sense of it — with AI that runs entirely on your device. CAPTURE, FAST • Write in a tap — from the app, a Home Screen widget, the share sheet, or Siri • Voice memos, transcribed on-device so they're searchable and readable • Photos and links, right inline • Tags and moods when you want them, never required PLAN YOUR DAY • Tasks for today or any day ahead, with reminders you can mark Done or snooze right from the notification • A Today's Tasks widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen WRITE AT ANY DEPTH A real editor for the days you want one: • Headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and highlights • Bulleted and numbered lists, block quotes, and code blocks • Alignment, indentation, links, and inline photos The same entry can be a single line today and a full page tomorrow. REFLECT, PRIVATELY • Reflection: a gentle observation about your recent days • Ask Your Journal: ask a question, get an answer grounded in your own entries • Weekly Review: themes, what shifted, small wins, and a question for tomorrow • Open Loops: resurface the things you said you'd do It all runs on-device with Apple Intelligence. Your entries are never sent to a server for AI. Ever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no tracking, no ads, no analytics • Your journal syncs across your Apple devices through your own iCloud • Export everything as Markdown or JSON, any time — it's your writing • Lock the app with Face ID YOURS TO SHAPE • Organize entries into Volumes • Themes and journal fonts to make it feel like yours • Made for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and iPhone Duo FAIR BY DEFAULT The AI features are free for everyone.
