Today is still blank.
Trace is a photo diary and scrapbook for iPhone and iPad. Jot a line when something happens, drop in a photo, tick off what you did. By night, the day is a page.

One line counts.
It doesn’t have to be an essay, and you don’t have to write every day. A few words make an entry. Too tired to type? Dictate, and it turns into text.
Took a photo? Stick it in.
Photos, videos, Live Photos, a voice memo, a quick sketch — all in the same entry. Add how you felt, the weather, where you were and who was there.
To-dos live on the same page.
Tasks sit on their day. Tick them off, and tonight you’ll see what actually got done. Overdue ones move to today in one tap, and everything syncs both ways with Apple’s Reminders.
Habits get a daily tick.
Running, water, vocabulary — anything. Check in, or count it: six glasses of water today. Missed a day? Fill it in. Away? Take leave, and your streak stays.
It remembers your people and your dates.
Birthdays and anniversaries, lunar calendar too, with a heads-up before they arrive. Each person gets a page: the entries you share, the gifts you gave, the last time you talked.
Before bed, seal the day in a letter.
What you wrote, what you finished, what’s coming up — laid out as a letter. Pick a closing line, press the wax seal, and it goes into your mailbox. Open it next year and it’s exactly as that day was.
Sealing is part of Pro. Everyone can try it free for 7 days. See the letter
One page a day becomes a book.
Your entries lay themselves out in a notebook, photos placed and dates stamped. Add stickers, tape and pen marks. The paper curls under your finger as you turn it. Keep one for travel, one for books, one for the cat.
What else notebooks doAnd there’s more.
- WishesMake a wish, earn stars by writing and finishing things, then let the sky lantern go.
- FootprintsThe places you wrote from gather on a little planet you can spin.
- Look backOn this day, a year of moods, a photo wall, monthly and yearly reviews.
- WidgetsEight of them. Tick to-dos and check in right from the Home Screen.
- Themes24 themes, one for light and one for dark. The icon dresses up for holidays.
- PeriodOff by default. Turn it on and the dates live only in Apple Health.
- App LockFace ID or Touch ID before it opens, so a borrowed phone stays a closed book.
- SyncThrough your own iCloud. Same journal on your iPhone and iPad.
What you write stays on your phone.
No sign-up, no account. We don’t run a server, so there’s nothing of yours for us to read. Syncing between iPhone and iPad goes through your own iCloud.
How privacy worksMost of it is free. For good.
Unlimited entries, to-dos, goals and people. Themes, fonts, widgets and iCloud sync are free too. Pro comes monthly, half-yearly, yearly or as a one-time purchase, and new users get 3 days of it with nothing to cancel.
