Quillday is not a Quillday.com membership. There is no Quillday account and no public feed. Your pages, photos, and optional audio live on this iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch — with an encrypted copy in your own iCloud that Land Tech cannot open. What makes Quillday different • Time Capsule letters you seal until a date you choose (the notice never quotes the letter) • A real Apple Watch companion: speak or type a short page, mood check-in, optional Health snapshot after you save — pages land in the free journal on iPhone • Encrypted backup in your iCloud Documents, sealed with a key only your Apple ID holds • Quillday Plus can merge iPhone and Mac through your CloudKit vault — if both devices edited the same page offline, Quillday keeps both versions as a Conflicted copy instead of overwriting • Ask your journal and Companion stay on this device by default; an optional key you paste only sends excerpts after you confirm Send • Import history from other journal apps, then keep writing here Write today • Pages with headings, lists, and emphasis, plus a title, date, and time • Photos from the camera or library, including photos from this day after you tap that action • Tags, favorites, pins, search, and a calendar • Optional place and weather when you add them • Passcode and Face ID or Touch ID lock • Daily writing reminder if you turn it on • Export as text (.txt or .md), PDF, JSON, or CSV • Passphrase-encrypted .qday archive you can share or restore • Merge two journals into one, or move a page to another journal Free on this device One journal with photos, tags, search, calendar, lock, local export, a daily prompt, a writing streak, and On This Day (including an optional morning notice). The app opens into writing — there is no paywall on launch. Watch can always save a quick page into that free journal. Quillday Plus (optional yearly subscription) • Unlimited journals • Audio and video attachments • Templates and the full prompt library • Encrypted cloud sync and merge across your Apple devices • Writing insights and year in review • Mood charts from your local check-ins • Private companion and Ask with a key you paste (on device by default) • Life stories and Time Capsule letters • Print a book from a journal • Extra widgets and Watch complications beyond the free write-today tile Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription auto-renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Restore Purchases is on the Plus screen and in Settings.

Quillday also keeps one encrypted copy in your own iCloud so a reinstall brings your pages back — sealed with a key only your Apple ID holds, which we never receive. Weather uses Open-Meteo only after you add a place. An optional model key you paste may send a short pack of recent notes, or Ask matching excerpts, to the AI provider you choose — only after you confirm Send in the app. Land Tech does not host your diary and cannot recover a lost passphrase. A native Mac client is a separate Mac App Store binary and is not this iPhone download.

Give your lawn a clearer plan. Lawnwell helps you decide what needs attention, what can wait, and what to check before you act. Build a profile around your grass, lawn size, sunlight, watering setup, and goals, then keep your care in one place. KNOW YOUR NEXT STEP See useful lawn-care actions with explanations and checks. Add a U.S. location to bring local forecasts into your planning. FIND SEED THAT FITS Compare grass-seed options for your lawn and growing conditions. Review product details, planting considerations, and the current bag before choosing. WORK THROUGH WEED QUESTIONS Take or select a plant photo for optional identification, or use the guided weed check. Review possible matches and next steps while keeping uncertainty, grass compatibility, and current product-label directions in view. Photo identification requires a connection and your processing consent. MEASURE YOUR LAWN Trace lawn areas on property imagery and review an approximate turf-area estimate. Keep separate areas together without counting the whole lot as grass. PLAN THE SEASON Organize seed projects, seasonal care, and follow-up reminders. A planning window helps you prepare; current conditions still matter before you act. KEEP YOUR LAWN'S HISTORY Record care, observations, photos, soil-test information, and watering checks. Look back at what you tried and what changed. Lawn records stay on your device; you can export a text backup using the device share sheet. Original photo files are not included in that backup. MEMBERSHIP Lawnwell requires a Lawnwell Pro subscription to access its lawn-care features after setup. Monthly and annual plans are available. Any introductory offer depends on App Store eligibility; available pricing, billing periods, and offer terms are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Restore Purchases restores membership access, not lawn records. Designed for U.S. lawn care. Weather, address search, property imagery, and photo identification require an internet connection. Area estimates and weed guidance are informational. Always follow the current product label and applicable local requirements.
