Your records say what happened. The journal keeps what it was like — one line, one mood, one photo, on the days you feel like it. Next year it is the thing you scroll back through; this week it is a quiet record of how they have been.
The page starts on Home. Tap a mood and it is saved — that is the entry. Words and a photo are a second step you can take a minute later, an hour later, or never.
Five words for how the animal was, not a grade for the day. Tapping one saves the page immediately.
A rotating prompt if you need one, a photo if you took one, and today’s meal, weight or dose pinned to the page.
A timeline grouped by month, with a photo day showing its photo and everything else its mood.
A calendar where each day wears its mood colour. Blank days are just days — nothing counts against you.
Most journalling apps are built to make you feel behind, because a person who feels behind opens the app. This one is built the other way round, and the rules live in the code rather than in the marketing.
Not hidden, not shown on a profile, not counted anywhere. A week with no pages costs you nothing.
They do not feed the week dots, a completion score, or any progress bar. The journal is a keepsake, not a metric.
The five moods describe the animal, not a scale, and there is no red in the palette. An off day is a Tuesday spent asleep.
One exception, by design: a run of quiet days quietly offers the symptom checker. Nothing else counts them, flags them, or sends them to the AI.
Write enough pages and the app starts handing them back. “On this day” brings up the same date a year ago on your Home screen — the beach, the vet visit, the first time they slept through the night.
And because a page can hold a photo, the journal and the memories gallery are the same pictures seen two ways: once in the story of a day, once in the run of a life.
Yes. The journal is part of the free tier, for your first pet, with no account needed. Premium adds more pets, not more journal.
No, and the app is built so that you cannot fall behind. There is no journaling streak, pages do not count toward anything else, and a day you skip is simply a day with no page.
One tap. Picking a mood on the Home card saves the page on its own — words and a photo are an optional second step that may never come.
Yes. A day holds as many pages as you want to write, so a morning at the beach and an off evening can be two separate entries.
A photo on a journal page also appears in that pet's memories. Deleting it from the journal removes it from both; removing it from memories leaves the page intact.
Yes. Pages live on your device first. If you turn on the optional free account they sync to it encrypted, and they are never sold, mined or used to train anything.
The days you will most want back are the ordinary ones.
Free for your first pet. No account needed, and it works with no signal at all.
