DriedInk

One line a day. No streaks. No guilt.

A journal that never judges you. Write one good thing that happened today. Or don't. The app doesn't care. You shouldn't either.

Features

Everything you need to journal. Nothing you don't.

🖋️

One Line a Day

Write 180 characters. That's the whole constraint. No word counts, no prompts, no journaling framework. Just one line.

đź”’

Private by Default

Everything stays on your device. Face ID / Touch ID lock. No analytics, no tracking, no server. Your words are yours alone.

📜

Dried Ink

Entries seal after 24 hours—permanent, like ink on paper. No deleting, no perfectionism trap. Your past self wrote that. Let it stand.

🎨

Make It Yours

5 accent colors, 5 themes, custom placeholder text. Your journal should feel like yours, not everyone else's.

Export Everything

Plain text, Markdown, JSON, or a beautiful PDF yearly booklet. Your data, your format, your exit. Always.

📱

Widgets

Small and medium home screen widgets. See today's entry at a glance—or a quiet invitation to write one.

Our Philosophy

DriedInk is different because we believe journaling should feel like nothing.

Silence Over Celebration

No confetti, no "Great job!", no fanfare. You don't need a standing ovation for writing a sentence.

Absence is Invisible

Missed days don't exist. No empty squares, no broken chains. The app doesn't notice. You shouldn't either.

Restraint is a Feature

What we don't build matters more than what we do. No tags, no categories, no mood tracking, no streaks. Ever.

How It Works

1

Open the app

See today's card. Empty and calm. No guilt about yesterday.

2

Write one line

One tiny win. One good thing. 180 characters max. It auto-saves.

3

Close and live

That's it. No fanfare. Your words dry like ink and become permanent.

What We'll Never Build

This list is permanent. Not “maybe later.” Never.
