Common questions
Where are my entries saved?
On your own device, automatically as you type. They are not uploaded to any account or synced between devices.
Will my writing appear on another device?
No. Entries stay on the device where you wrote them.
How do I delete what I have written?
Use the button in the app that clears saved responses. This is permanent and cannot be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.
Why does the summary need at least five responses?
Patterns across your past, present, and future need enough material to be meaningful. With less than that, a summary would say more about the prompts than about you.
The summary looks different from last time.
Summaries are generated fresh each time, so wording will vary between runs even on similar entries.
I got a summary that reads as generic.
If the app cannot reach the summarizing service, it falls back to one generated on your device, which is simpler by design. Checking your connection and trying again usually restores the fuller version.
How do I save a copy?
The export option builds a PDF on your device that you can save or share.
