Writing first
Build a diary with depth, not just length.
Heartwood Diary is made for short daily notes, photos, voice memories, and same-date reflections year after year. It should feel less like a feed and more like a book you return to.
Richer memories
Add photos and voice notes when words do not carry the whole feeling.
Weather and place
Keep the context around a day with weather and place names when you choose to.
Insights over time
Local analysis helps you notice writing patterns and recurring themes without ads or tracking.
Local-first

- iCloud on your terms Sync can use your private iCloud account if you enable it.
