Dawnbook: Gratitude & Mood

Free. Private. No ads, ever.

Dawnbook is a gratitude journal and mood calendar you can actually keep: three short prompts in the morning, a quick reflection at night, and a tap for how the day felt. About five minutes a day — small enough to stick.

Nothing stands between you and your journal. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your words and moods sync privately through your own iCloud, and your photos never leave your device. Lock it with Face ID.

— THE MORNING RITUAL — Name three things you're grateful for, set one intention, and write a single line about how you want to show up.

— THE EVENING REFLECTION — Three amazing things from your day, one thing that could have been better, and how the day felt — five hand-drawn mood faces, one tap. Add what shaped the day (sleep, movement, friends, work…) if you like, and a photo of today.

— A CALENDAR THAT FILLS WITH YOUR MOODS — Watch each month bloom, one face a day. Tap any day to relive it. Star your favorite days and find them again anytime.

— LOG YOUR MOOD FROM THE HOME SCREEN — The mood check-in widget logs today in one tap, without opening the app. More widgets show your streak and your week, on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.

— A STREAK THAT FORGIVES — A gentle streak with a built-in grace day each week. Miss a day and life goes on. The goal is the habit, not the guilt.

— RECAPS WORTH OPENING — Every Sunday and on the first of each month, a look back: the days you showed up, how it felt, what filled your days, and your brightest moments. Share a beautiful recap card if you want to.

— APPLE HEALTH — Optionally save each day's mood to State of Mind in the Health app.

— iPHONE, iPAD, AND APPLE WATCH — A roomy two-column iPad layout with your calendar beside today, and an Apple Watch app with your streak, one-tap mood, gratitude from your wrist, and watch-face complications.

— YOUR JOURNAL IS YOURS — Search every page, and export everything as text, free, anytime.
