Some lines stay with you longer than the book itself. Every line you save means something to you. Revisit later, and it may mean something different. Readmate brings them back. Sync your books, highlights, thoughts, and reading history from WeRead(More platform support coming soon.), and keep the words you once highlighted together on your own bookshelf. Revisit old highlights, find a line you remember, or turn a favorite passage into a card worth sharing.

One gratitude a night. Nothing else to do. Write a line about something good, and a star is born. Write again tomorrow and the sky fills in. After a while, the things you keep coming back to — family, weather, someone's kindness — quietly find each other and become a constellation. You never tag anything. It just happens. WHAT IT IS A gratitude journal that turns into a night sky you can turn around and look through. Every entry is a star. The steadier you write, the more your stars take shape — that comes from showing up, never from what you pay. FREE, FOREVER · Unlimited entries. No caps, no locked history. · Text, photos, or both. As many as you want each day. · The whole sky, the constellations, the calendar. · Export everything as Markdown, or as a ZIP with your photos. · A daily reminder, at the hour you choose. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES Miss a night and nothing breaks. Life happens, and one missed day a week never costs you your streak. Only two in a row start it over. There's no counter shouting at you and no notification about failing. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Consteli makes no network calls at all. There is no account, no login, no tracking, and no analytics. Your diary is stored on your device, and nobody reads it — not other people, and not us. Optional iCloud backup mirrors it to your own private iCloud, which is your Apple account, never ours. CONSTELI PRO Everything above stays free. Pro is the finish around it: colours and materials for your stars, home screen widgets, and iCloud backup. A star born with a colour keeps it forever, even if you stop paying. Consteli is quiet on purpose. No feed, no likes, no followers, no one to perform for. Just you, one line a night, and a sky that slowly becomes yours. Terms of Use: https://consteli.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://consteli.com/privacy
