Softly vs Trinket Shelf

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.

Trinket Shelf is a simple app for curating and cataloguing your special things. Take a photo or choose one from your library and the app cuts it out and places it on your shelf. Add more trinkets and new shelves appear as you go. Drag things around to rearrange them, or tap a trinket to share it or copy the image. Choose your shelf wood and wallpaper... pinstripe, plaid, polka dots, or a coat of paint. Your trinkets can also be used as stickers in Messages. There's also a widget if you'd like your shelf on your Home Screen, and everything syncs with iCloud.
