What were you doing this time last year? Hard to say, right?
Lives is a one-line-a-day journal and life timeline. Write a line about today, and when you feel like it, a line of your own for the week, the month, the year, and your life so far. Swipe to move from a single day out to a whole year and read back through what you wrote. Lives doesn't summarize anything for you. It's your words, read back by you.
WHY I MADE IT
Even while I was keeping a journal, I couldn't remember much when I looked back. What I did last month, what was on my mind this time last year. And I'd been busy the whole time.
I wanted a simple way to look back on those days later, so I made Lives.
HOW IT WORKS
- Write one line about your day.
- At the end of a week or month, skim what you wrote and add a line about how it went. Only if you want to.
- The life view shows everything from the day you were born to today.
- On days with more to say, write as much as you like and add photos.
- Browse your photos in one album, and search to find any past entry.
NO PRESSURE
- One line is enough.
- No streaks, scores, or mood graphs.
- Skipped a few days? That's fine. Pick it back up whenever.
YOUR ENTRIES STAY ON YOUR IPHONE
- No account needed.
- Entries are stored on your device and never uploaded.
- Works without internet.
- Export your entries to a file anytime.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Anyone who's tried journaling and stopped after a few days
- People who've been busy and can't tell where the time went
- Anyone who wants a quiet look back at their year
