One Today
One line, 120 characters
Enough for a real moment, short enough that you never skip a day for lack of time.
One line a day
One line a day. A whole year of memories.
The classic one-line-a-day journal, made for your phone: a single line, an optional photo, and a calendar that fills in as the year goes by.
Your year at a glance
Every kept day turns teal in the calendar; favourites turn gold.
Years ago today
Next year, today’s line comes back on the same date — the best part of a multi-year journal.
Why one line works better than a page
A one line a day journal lowers the bar so far that you can always clear it. You don’t need a quiet hour or a big day to write about — just the single moment you’d most like to remember.
The surprise comes later. Reading back a month of single lines brings back far more than you wrote: the people, the weather, how you felt. A year of them becomes a diary you’d never have had the patience to write in full.
A paper journal vs. an app
Paper five-year journals are lovely, but they stay at home, can’t hold photos and can’t remind you. One Today keeps the same spirit — one line a day — and adds a daily reminder, a photo per day, search across every entry, favourites, a PIN lock and Google Drive backup.
Tips for a good one-line entry
- Name a person, place or detail — it’s what makes the line come alive later.
- Write what you want to remember, not a summary of the day.
- Missed a day? Use Add past day and fill it in.
