What did the light look like today?

The light stayed on the kitchen table for most of the afternoon. I made a cup of tea and called a friend. Later, I took the long way home.

A page that feels like yours.

A few words, a little ink, a moment to keep. Every page is warm paper with the date at the top and the day’s prompt printed faded beneath it.

  • Your font, size and colour Sans, Serif, Rounded, Typewriter or Handwritten, in six ink colours. Each page keeps its own look.
  • Type and Apple Pencil, together Type with your fingers and draw with Apple Pencil on the same page. Ink scrolls with your words.
  • Up to four photos, tucked into the page Words flow around them. Location and camera details are removed before they’re saved.

What would you like to remember about today?

A photo on the page: a green garden path in morning light

The morning was quiet and a little cool. I opened the window and let the air in, and walked the long way past the garden on Elm Street. Everything was still wet from the rain. The tea tasted better somehow.

  • A small ring clock. It counts down, or up for Just write.
  • Time’s up. Keep going if you’d like. Nothing ever cuts you off.
  • Drafts are saved, encrypted, if you step away mid-page.

A little growth, each day you write.

Your flower grows a stage at a time as you show up. Missing a day costs nothing.

  1. Sprout
  2. Leaves
  3. Bud
  4. Bloom

Your pages become a shelf.

Each finished flower becomes a book of the pages you wrote while it grew. The flower growing now keeps its pages loose.

  • Growing now Since October 3 · 6 pages

  • Daisy June 2 – July 8 · 18 pages

  • Daisy II July 10 – August 20 · 21 pages

  • Cosmos August 22 – October 1 · 17 pages

Open a book to read its pages as you wrote them, one at a time, or two side by side on a wide screen. Search finds any page by its words or its prompt.

Your week, in your words.

Come back to the small things you wrote. Early each week, Flower Focus brings back your best sentence, a word that kept coming up, and one question to close the week. On Today, a line you wrote on this day a month or a year ago.

We took the long way home.

An open notebook on iPad.

On iPad, Today opens like a notebook: your flower on one page, today’s prompt and your recent pages on the other. Write with Apple Pencil and keep it as ink right beside your words.
