About

I built this for myself, first.

I've always been a journaler.

But the entries were long. Rambling. And — honestly — tiresome, which is why they were also inconsistent. I'd write three pages on a Tuesday and then nothing for two months, because writing three pages every night isn't a practice you can hold.

Then I read Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks.

His "Homework for Life" idea reframed the whole thing for me: at the end of each day, find the one small moment that — if today were the only day you remembered — you'd want to keep. Not the day. Just the moment. One sentence is enough.

That felt manageable. So I started doing it.

For a while, I kept all of these in an Excel file. Which worked, but barely. I knew there was a better way to keep track of small daily things — something that lived on my phone, that nudged me at the right time, that let me search back later. So I built this.

Now I have a record of all the little moments that make my days feel memorable. The bee on the windowsill. The thing my kid said in the car. The way the light hit something. Even on the days I think nothing happened, there's still at least one thing I can tease out, write down, and look back on later.

That's the whole product. One small thing a day, kept.
