A private diary that behaves like a real book. Paper has grain. Ink sits on the line. Leaves turn in 3D with weight and a whisper of haptics. Every volume is bound differently, with its own paper stock, its own ink and its own foil stamping on the cover. Nothing ever leaves your phone. No account. No sync. No server. No analytics. Your diary is a file on your device and nowhere else. BOUND, NOT TEMPLATED β’ Fourteen bindings: Midnight Velvet, Rose Gold, Sakura, Emerald Library, Vintage Parchment, Nordic Frost and more β’ Six paper textures and five rulings, from single line to dotted to blank β’ Foil-stamped titles, raised spine bands, silk ribbon markers β’ Bind as many volumes as you like, one for each part of your life WRITING THAT FEELS LIKE WRITING β’ Real page turns, with perspective, weight and haptics β’ Ink that sits on the ruled line rather than floating between β’ Write straight onto the paper, with no forms and no boxes β’ 42 prompts for the days you do not know where to start WHAT A DAY HOLDS β’ Mood and weather, place and tags β’ Photographs, and 32 decorations to place, drag and resize β’ Bookmark any page, favourite any entry β’ Per-page paper and ruling, when one entry wants its own FIND IT AGAIN β’ Search every volume at once, each result cut from its own book's paper β’ A calendar with a mood-coloured dot on every day you wrote β’ Streaks, word counts, a mood line and a 91-day heat map YOURS ALONE β’ Face ID or Touch ID lock β’ A daily reminder at whatever hour suits you β’ Export everything as plain text, whenever you want β’ Use your own photograph for the home screen and arrange it how you like Built entirely in SwiftUI, with no third-party code, no trackers and no ads.
