How it works

A ritual that takes less than a minute.

Write one line

Max 280 characters. Attach a photo, video, or voice note if the moment calls for it. No prompts, no pressure.

Tag an emotion

Pick from six honest feelings. That's enough data to reveal patterns you'd never notice otherwise.

Watch the year fill in

The grid grows one coloured cell at a time. Patterns emerge. You start to see yourself.

Review your year

At year's end, read every entry in order. See your streaks, your emotional arc, your actual life.

I've tried a dozen journaling apps and abandoned every one. Keepsake is different — one sentence a day is actually doable, and somehow that's been enough to keep me coming back.
