No "you can't read anything older than 30 days." ■ It stays on your device Records are stored in a database on your device. Unless you turn on sync, nothing you write leaves it. No signal? Keep writing. ■ Notes and tasks, side by side A record with a checkbox is a task. Logline isn't a planner, so there are no repeats and no reminders. Write it, check it off, read it back later. That's all. ■ Start from anywhere Widgets on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, a long-press on the app icon, or the share button in Photos and Safari — start a log in a second. ■ Find it later Full-text search, plus filters by type (note/task) and tag. The week and month calendar takes you straight to any day. ■ Take it with you Export as Markdown, JSON, or CSV. What you write is always yours to take out. ■ Works with your Mac With Logline Sync, what you write on your iPhone shows up on your Mac's timeline too.
