Remember your life. Mark is a simple journal for your everyday life. Save the little moments, keep up the good habits that matter to you, and watch your days turn into a story you can look back on. A quiet morning coffee. A family milestone. A new puppy. Your first car. Little things rarely feel important in the moment. Later, they're the ones you want back. Mark makes them easy to keep. No guilt when you miss a day. No pressure. Just a calm place for what matters. NO BLANK PAGE Don't know what to write? You don't have to. Everything you save during the day builds your day's story for you. * Your moments and habits show up together, in order * Forgot something? Add it to any day, even last week * Stuck? Mark offers one question at a time, drawn from your own days * Pick prompt packs, like gratitude, fun or fitness: 245 questions in all SAVE YOUR MOMENTS * Add a photo, a note, a place or a voice memo * Add the song that was playing and the day's steps or workout * Save it right away, or come back to it later RITUALS: THE GOOD HABITS THAT GROW YOU In Mark, a ritual is simply something you do regularly because it makes your life better: a morning walk, the gym, meditation, piano lessons, Sunday dinner with family. * Daily, weekly or monthly, whatever fits your life * Tap to mark it done, and it goes straight into your day's story That's different from a chore. Laundry and bills are tasks. Rituals are the things that make you, you. CHAPTERS FOR THE BIG STUFF Some days are part of something bigger: a trip, a new job, an illness, a wedding. Mark lets you name that stretch of days. * Each day shows where you are, like "Travelling · Day 2 of 3" * Your chapters show up on your calendar * One tap brings up every day in a chapter LOOK BACK * Scroll through your life in photos * Search for any moment, habit or note * Rediscover the ordinary days that made you who you are BRING YOUR JOURNAL WITH YOU Coming from Day One? Export your journal there and share it to Mark. Every entry comes over with its date, photos and places, and your tags become threads. YOUR JOURNAL ON ANY COMPUTER Read your whole journal at markjournal.app, and write with a real keyboard: on a Mac, a Windows PC or any computer with a browser. Everything is sealed on your iPhone before it goes anywhere; our server can't read a word of it. MAKE IT YOURS * Eight themes * Your own colors * Easy-to-read type that feels like home PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your journal is just for you. No feed, no followers, no showing off. A life isn't built from big milestones alone. It's built from ordinary days. Mark helps you keep them. MARK PREMIUM Mark is free to keep, with your whole history.

Three good things a day. That is the whole practice, and it is one of the most quietly powerful things you can do for how your days feel. Each evening, ThreeGoods gives you three numbered slots. Fill them with whatever went well, however small: a slow coffee, a good walk, a kind word, a book finished in the sun. Add a closing line if you like. That is it. A minute, and the day is kept. WHAT MAKES IT MORE THAN A NOTE - Three-slot daily entry. A guided, calm place for your three good things, not a blank page. - Streaks with grace days. Keep a streak going, and a single missed day is forgiven, so one busy evening never erases your run. - Gentle evening reminder. An optional, quiet nudge at the time you choose. No badges nagging you, no guilt. - Monthly gratitude themes. ThreeGoods reads your own words and shows the themes you keep coming back to, with a weekly chart of the good things you have kept. - On This Day. Look back on what you were grateful for on this date in earlier years. - Private Face ID lock. Keep your gratitude behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Off by default, on when you want it. - Kept forever, everywhere. Your gratitude syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud, and it is yours alone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account of ours, no ads, no tracking. Your entries live on your device and in your own private iCloud. We never see them. FREE AND PRO ThreeGoods is free to use every day. The daily three good things and your most recent 21 days are always free. ThreeGoods Pro opens your full history, the On This Day lookbacks across the years, and the Gratitude Book: a printable PDF keepsake of everything you have kept, plus a CSV. Pro is $2.99 per month, $19.99 per year, or $49.99 once for lifetime. - Monthly: $2.99 USD per month - Yearly: $19.99 USD per year - Lifetime: $49.99 USD, one payment Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
