It's a diary application to yourself a year from now. Since you write with the intention of not being able to read it again for a year, you become "subconsciously" aware of what you wrote. By writing down your goals, what you want to do, and who you want to be, you will be more aware of them throughout the year. If you are strongly aware of them, your life and behavior will gradually change toward them. In other words, it is a diary for your personal growth. You don't have to write every day. You won't mind if there are days you didn't write. You would rather more interested in the days you wrote. There is also a countdown function that displays the number of days until the next time you can read your diary. You can only be read back one day per year. It can be read back for exactly one day exactly one year after it was written and the same day each year thereafter. For example, if you write a diary on July 21, 2022, it will appear only on the same day each year, such as July 21,2023, July 21,2024, and so on. You can only read it back for that one day (24 hours). As you read diaries you wrote one, two, or three years ago, you write to yourself one, two, or three years in the future.
