Daymint
One page a day.
A journaling app for iPhone and iPad. Open it and it's today. At midnight your page is minted into a coin, and one day Dot and Dash, two magpies who love shiny things, bring it back as a find.
Free for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+). In English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Only ever today.
Always today
Open Daymint and it's today's page. Write a line, a list or a whole page. There's no scrolling back and nothing to catch up on. Missing a day, a week or a month is fine.
Minted at midnight
When the day ends, your page turns into a coin. Keep writing past midnight and Dot and Dash put on a little show.
Finds
Old pages come back on their own, at most one a day: after a few days, then weeks and months, and on a page's anniversary. A Tuesday you'd forgotten, carried in by two magpies.
Free to write
Writing is free, with no limits. Supporting is optional, $3.99 a month or $34.99 a year, and adds paper styles, app icons and the find mix.
Why one page?
Most journals ask you to keep up. Miss a week and there's a stack of empty days waiting, and rereading old entries starts to feel like homework.
Daymint only ever shows today. The past isn't a backlog. It comes back on its own, one small surprise at a time.
Just write.
