One feed for everything

Journal entries, checklists, meal plans, time blocks, and notes — all flow through a single chronological feed. No more switching between five different apps.

Capture your day as it happens. Every entry is organized by tags that work the way your mind does.

Capture the days that matter

Rich markdown editor with live preview, multi-photo galleries, threaded replies, and auto-saved drafts. Attach images, videos, and files to any entry.

Optional titles, content blur for sensitive entries, and hidden posts keep your journal personal.

Tags that think the way you do

Four types of tags give your entries structure without rigid categories:

  • #topics group related entries
  • @people track who's involved
  • !events show up on your calendar
  • tags for everything else

Tags are hierarchical — nest them to build structure that mirrors your life. @Sarah/design or #health/nutrition let you drill down as deep as you need without losing the big picture.

Tables and dashboards for tracking anything

Create custom table schemas with typed fields. Track expenses, workouts, readings — whatever you need structured data for.

Build reports and dashboards from your own data with counts, sums, averages, and trend lines. Drill into any number to see the entries behind it.
