A journal that writes itself.

Pocket Day keeps one page per day: your own words on top, and underneath what the other apps on your server already know about it. Where you went, the photos you took, what played, what you watched, read, cooked and spent, gathered for you so the evening line is all that is left to write.

The Pocket Day calendar on an iPhone: every day of October shown behind one of its photos

The day page

Your line on top, the day underneath.

Write a highlight, a few sentences, a mood and tags; it saves as you type. Beside it are the numbers for the day, the photo grid, the places you stopped and the weather where you were.

A day in Pocket Day: the entry Long walk by the river, distance, photos, songs and spending, a photo grid and the places visited

Timeline

Everything in the order it happened.

Songs, podcast episodes, photos, places, finished tasks and your own moments line up by time. Today and yesterday are fetched again every 30 minutes, so the day is there when you open it in the evening.

Add short moments through the day, from the page, a Siri Shortcut or Raycast
Star a photo, a song or a place and it stays at the top of the day
Past days are stored once and still read when a source is gone

Journal

Find any day again.

The journal lists every written day with its highlight, tags, moments and a one-line summary from each source. Search your words, tags and moments, or filter by mood, a tag or the days you kept.

Memories: the same date in earlier years, on the page and in the morning push
An evening push asks how today was, and skips it once you have written

The journal: days with a mood, a highlight, tags, distance, listens, episodes, spending and weather

Year in review

The whole year at a glance.

Totals for the year, every day as a heatmap you can switch between photos, distance, music, spending, mood and more, and bars per month. The calendar does the same for one month.

Most played, most watched, books, places and the days you starred
With an OpenAI key, weeks, months and years written up as stories

2026 in review: tiles for days, mood, photos, kilometres, songs and spending, a heatmap of the year and month bars

And the rest of it

Many sources, all optional
Dawarich, Immich, Maloja, Jellystat, PinePods, Audiobookshelf, Forgejo, Nextcloud, Open-Meteo and the Pocket apps. A day only shows what you connected.
AI, only if you want it
Add an OpenAI key to draft the day from what the apps recorded, get one specific question about it, dictate, and ask your journal things. Without a key the buttons stay hidden.
Your words stay yours
The model only sees plain-text summaries of the days it needs, never photos, and you can keep your own words out of it.
