One Sentence a Day

Tap any day on the calendar, write up to 280 characters, and optionally add an emoji or a photo. Saving replaces whatever was there — no history of drafts, no clutter. The constraint is the feature: one sentence, then you're done.

Daily Writing Prompt

When you open a blank day, a fresh question appears at the top of the writing sheet — things like "What was the single best moment of today?" or "What did today teach you that you didn't expect?" 60 unique prompts, all offline. The same date always shows the same prompt, so coming back later doesn't change your cue.

Daily Reminder — New in 1.1

Turn on a gentle daily notification in Settings and pick the time that suits you. Linejot nudges you once a day to write your line — no account required, no internet needed. It's a single local notification, nothing more. Turn it off any time.

On This Day — New in 1.1

After your first journal anniversary, the Calendar tab surfaces entries you wrote on the same date in past years. A quiet time-capsule moment: see what you were thinking exactly one or two years ago today. No algorithm, no curation — just your own words from the past.

PDF Export — New in 1.1

Export a typeset journal PDF from the Insights tab — a cover page with your date range and entry count, followed by every entry arranged by month and day. Print it, save it to Files, or share it with the standard iOS share sheet. No third-party service involved.

Insights

The Insights tab shows your real writing streak (current and longest), total entries, total words written, most-active month, and most-used mood emoji — all computed from your actual data. Alongside CSV and plain text export options.

Search

Find any past entry by typing a word or phrase in the Recap tab. Results appear instantly, sorted newest first, showing the date, mood emoji, and full entry text. Useful for tracking when something first happened, or for finding an entry you remember writing but can't locate on the calendar.

Monthly Recap

The Recap tab stitches every entry from a selected month into one paragraph, side-by-side with a stat strip showing entries written, total words, and photos attached. Copy or share the paragraph with one tap. Scroll to the timeline below to read entries day by day.
