No save button. Write, close, and it stays. For anyone who never managed to keep a long diary.
A diary app for holding on to what you thought and what happened, one short card at a time.
No long entries. No dates to keep up with. Everything stays findable.
■ One topic per card
A different topic goes on a new card. There is no need to gather everything into a single entry, so cards pile up one at a time, whenever something comes to mind.
■ There is no save button
Write, close, and it stays. Close it empty and nothing is left behind. Nothing takes effort except the writing.
■ Looking back
- Calendar: days you wrote on get a dot. Tap a day to read the cards from that day.
- Search: search the text of your cards. Separate words with a space and only cards containing all of them appear. Matches are highlighted.
■ Take it with you, bring it back
Export every card as CSV and open it in Excel or a spreadsheet.
An exported CSV can be read straight back in, so you can carry your cards to a new device. Importing the same file again does not create duplicates.
Even if you delete the app, what you wrote stays with you in that file.
■ No network
What you write is never sent to a server. It works in airplane mode, and anywhere without a signal.
No ads, no account to create, and no in-app purchases.
