Read full descriptionHide full description
Diary!? gives the thoughts you cannot fit into a post a place to live. Write, record voice notes, add photos and videos, save links, or talk things through with Gurnle. Your journal begins as a private space. When you want another perspective, you can invite a human guide from anywhere in the world. You can also publish a chosen entry or saved conversation as a shared page, decide whether it welcomes public guidance, and choose which public insights appear there. 1. Capture an ordinary day or a difficult moment in the form that fits it. 2. Keep AI and human insights connected to the entry or conversation that inspired them. 3. Return to your journal to notice what has changed and what keeps coming up. Gurnle is Diary!?βs AI reflection companion. Chat back and forth, save the conversation with your other entries, or explore insights on an entry. Gurnle is here for reflection, not diagnosis, therapy, or instructions for how to live.

Stay close without 24/7 map tracking. A Home Screen status clock for your friends β Home, Out, In Transit. Coordinates never leave your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Mark Home and the places that matter. Your iPhone evaluates them on-device. 2. Join a private circle with an invite code. 3. Everyone appears as a hand on the dial β in the app and on your Home Screen widget. WHY ITβS DIFFERENT β’ Status, not a map. See Home, Work, Out, Abroad β not a live GPS pin. β’ Privacy by design. Exact coordinates never leave this iPhone. β’ Battery-friendly. OS geofencing and motion, not constant GPS. β’ Invisibility. Stop broadcasting when you want off the grid. β’ 24 statuses. From Gym to Exploring, including Mortal Peril. Add the widget. Invite your friends. PERCH PREMIUM (YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION) Unlock 12 dial slots (instead of 6), circles of 8, multiple circles, extra watchfaces, visible status alerts, and per-circle invisibility.
