Starply vs Gratitude Practice

Starply holds two kinds of writing. One is sending stars to your future self. Answer the question that surfaces today and send it off as a star. A month or a year later, it arrives again. By then you've changed a little, so you write back to who you were and leave a new question behind. Slowly, letters travel back and forth between you and yourself. On days when writing feels hard, leave your voice instead. Hearing yourself again, long after, brings that day back more vividly than anything you wrote down. The other is simply today's diary. It doesn't have to be grand. One line about your day and one mood is enough. Your moods and energy build up as colors on the calendar, and the stats show at a glance how you've really been doing. The stars you've sent stay up in the night sky. The farther away one floats, the longer until it arrives. Sometimes just looking up at that sky is enough to quiet your mind. If you find yourself wanting to write more often and at greater length, there's Starply Premium. Basic journaling and opening the stars that arrive are always free. Write down today's heart. For your future self, and for who you are today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Write three things you're grateful for and you run dry fast. Good weather, a tasty lunch, my health. There's only so much you have. But some memories stay sharp for months. The time someone quietly helped you when things were hard. The day someone thanked you, and meant it. What passes between people stays. 'Gratitude Practice' is built on that difference. *Two things, side by side Grateful today — written fresh each day. Starts with three fields; add or remove as you like. Revisit — coming back now and then to the same story. Write down a time you were thanked, or helped, as three or four bullet points, then sit with the feeling for a minute or two. *Why the same story Revisiting isn't about finding more to read. It's about letting the feeling from back then come up again now. Think of a song you love. Choosing a new one each time means spending the first minute deciding whether you like it. A familiar one puts you there within two bars. *What isn't here No streaks. No monthly counts. Days you miss go unmentioned. An empty day is just empty. No prompts, no quote feed, no AI replies. Just a title and empty fields. No account. You'll never see a sign-in screen. No ads, no subscription. *Your entries stay yours Stored on this device and in iCloud. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is collected. Change phones and it comes back on its own. Export any time as JSON or Markdown. Lock it with Face ID. *Where this comes from The two-part structure comes from a gratitude practice described by neuroscientist Andrew Huberman in a 2021 episode of the Huberman Lab podcast.
