Dawnbook: Gratitude & Mood

Mood & gratitude, dawn to dusk

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A free, private gratitude journal and mood calendar. No ads, no account, ever. Log your mood from a widget or your wrist, and see what lifts it. Free. Private. No ads, ever. Dawnbook is a gratitude journal and mood calendar you can actually keep: three short prompts in the morning, a quick reflection at night, and a tap for how the day felt. About five minutes a day — small enough to stick. Nothing stands between you and your journal. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your words and moods sync privately through your own iCloud, and your photos never leave your device. Lock it with Face ID. — THE MORNING RITUAL — Name three things you're grateful for, set one intention, and write a single line about how you want to show up. Want a different question? Tap Another question for a fresh one, or Ideas from your day for a moment from your photos, workouts, or places, picked privately with Apple's Journaling Suggestions. — THE EVENING REFLECTION — Three amazing things from your day, one thing that could have been better, and how the day felt — five hand-drawn mood faces, one tap. Add what shaped the day (sleep, movement, friends, work…) if you like, and a photo of today. On a low or rough night, Dawnbook shows you three good things you wrote on brighter days. — A CALENDAR THAT FILLS WITH YOUR MOODS — Watch each month bloom, one face a day. Tap any day to relive it. Star your favorite days and find them again anytime. Share your week, month, or year as a share-ready Story: just your moods, never your words. — ON THIS DAY — See what you wrote a week, a month, or a year ago today. — LOG YOUR MOOD FROM THE HOME SCREEN — The mood check-in widget logs today in one tap, without opening the app. More widgets show your streak and your week, on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Or add Log mood to Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button. — A STREAK THAT FORGIVES — A gentle streak with a built-in grace day each week. Miss a day and life goes on. The goal is the habit, not the guilt. — RECAPS WORTH OPENING — Every Sunday and on the first of each month, a look back: the days you showed up, how it felt, what filled your days, and your brightest moments. Share a beautiful recap card if you want to. — APPLE HEALTH — Optionally save each day's mood to State of Mind in the Health app. — iPHONE, iPAD, AND APPLE WATCH — A roomy two-column iPad layout with your calendar beside today, and an Apple Watch app with your streak, one-tap mood, gratitude from your wrist, and watch-face complications. — YOUR JOURNAL IS YOURS — Search every page, and export everything as text, free, anytime. — DAWNBOOK+ (OPTIONAL) — Everything above is free, forever. If you'd like more, Dawnbook+ adds: • Prompt packs — 36 more questions for hard days, self-kindness, people, and the big picture • Insights — streaks, mood over time, and what lifts your mood • Your year in pixels, and a year-in-review recap • Up to three photos a day • Five theme packs that re-color the whole app • A beautiful PDF keepsake of your journal All computed on your device.
