Hexis: Morning Evening Journal
Minimalist Stoic reflection
$4.99
Buy it once, keep it for life. No subscription, no AI, no streaks. Just a calm morning and evening ritual for your iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Your writing stays yours.
Hexis is a guided journal for mornings and evenings. Open a notebook, pick a morning or evening practice, and write an entry. Export it as text, Markdown, or PDF, any time. No account or sign-in needed. A one-time $4.99 purchase, no subscription and no in-app purchases.
The value of a journal isn't the data it stores. It's the thinking it provokes, and who that thinking slowly makes you. So Hexis does less, on purpose, and gets out of your way.
TWO MOMENTS, PRACTISED DAILY
Morning: name what matters, what may test you, and what's within your control.
Evening: what held, what slipped, and what you'll carry forward. Without judgement.
SEVEN NOTEBOOKS, EACH A PURPOSE
Morning, Evening, Virtues, Free Writing, Decisions, Hard Seasons, and Homework for Life. Well-crafted questions drawn from long-practised reflection. Begin where you need to, and the page does the rest.
JUST YOU AND THE PAGE
Open a practice and the cursor is already waiting. A serif tuned for reading, wide margins, a single uncluttered column. Keep the questions beside you, or tuck them away. No toolbars, no formatting, no counters demanding attention. Type freely on any device, and on iPad write by hand with Apple Pencil.
ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Begin a page on your iPhone at dawn; open your iPad that evening and it's waiting, every word in place. Private iCloud sync carries your journal between iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and never to us. And you can lock the whole journal behind Face ID or Touch ID, so it opens for you and no one else, even when the device is already unlocked and handed across the table.
A SHORT LIST OF NEVERS
No AI. Your thoughts, not a model's. Left out on purpose.
No subscription. Bought once, yours for good.
No streaks, badges, or games to win.
No dashboards. A journal, not a quantified self.
No tracking. Nothing reads your entries.
One gentle reminder, and only if you ask.
YOURS, FOR GOOD
Local-first: your entries are stored as plain Markdown, yours to keep.
Export everything as plain text, Markdown, or PDF, any time. No lock-in.
No account. No email, no sign-up. Open it and write.
PRICING
$4.99 once on the App Store. The whole app, nothing held back. No subscription, no in-app purchases, ever. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Hexis: the steady disposition formed by repeated practice. Built to get out of your way.
