The short version of everything people ask. Anything we missed? There’s a way to reach us inside the app.
A calm, private diary for your whole life — your days, people, meals, travel, studies and habits, all in one quiet place.
It’s free, with no ads and no third-party trackers. Every feature is included, and you can log as much as you like.
Yes. Your life stays on your device unless you turn on sync; then it’s encrypted and yours alone. Nothing is sold or shared.
TimePeace keeps the things you ask it to — your runs, meals, books and habits — and that record is the diary, kept for you and yours alone. What it doesn’t do is third-party or cross-site tracking: no ad trackers, nothing that follows you around the web, and nothing about you is sold. The only outside measurement is privacy-first, cookieless visit counts on this website — never inside the app.
Any modern browser. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app — online or off.
However suits you — email, Continue with Google, or Continue with Apple. Prefer no password at all? Add a passkey and sign in with Face ID, a fingerprint, or your device PIN instead.
Always. Download all of it whenever you like, free — and when you delete something, it’s really gone.
No. Turn on what you want; the rest waits quietly, and your data is kept either way.
TimePeace is made in Cape Town by an independent maker — not an ad company, not a data broker.
Mostly, yes. You log small things as they happen — a walk, a dinner, a payment — and TimePeace threads them into a written day automatically. It’s automatic journaling without handing your life to anyone: everything is built from what you chose to log, on your device.
Only where it helps, and never with guilt. A quiet run of morning pages shows up because it’s yours to be proud of — but nothing nags, nothing shames, nothing resets. Miss a week and the page simply waits.
Yes. Skip every feature and it’s a private online diary with no ads and no third-party trackers — one page per day, in your own words, readable like a book. The threading is there when you want it.
Day One is a writing journal and Daylio is a mood tracker; TimePeace is a whole-life diary — the writing, the people, the meals and the trips end up on the same page. And it’s web-first, free, and carries no third-party trackers. TimePeace vs Day One → TimePeace vs Daylio → TimePeace vs Journey → TimePeace vs Penzu → TimePeace vs Diarium →
Only you. Your entries live on your device, and if you turn on sync they travel end-to-end encrypted — so they stay yours alone. Nothing is sold, and no advertiser or outside company can read your days.
Yes, if you want it. Turn it on under Settings → Privacy & data and choose a passphrase only you know; from then on your notes can only be read with that passphrase or the recovery key it gives you. It’s optional — the app is private either way.
Use the recovery key you saved when you turned encryption on. Keep both somewhere safe: because only you hold them, no one — not even us — can read or recover your encrypted notes without them.
Yes. Sign in on any device and your diary and settings sync across on their own. If encryption is on, you enter your passphrase once on each new device to read your notes there.
Always. You can write with no connection at all — everything saves on your device first, then syncs on its own when you’re back online.
On iPhone, tap the Share button in your browser and choose Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the browser menu and tap Install app. It then opens full-screen like any other app, online or off.
Only the ones you ask for. Reminders, in-app nudges and account emails all live together under Settings → Notifications, and every one is yours to switch on or off. TimePeace never nags.
Yes — turn on only the parts you want under Settings → Features, and the rest waits quietly. Your data is kept either way, so nothing is lost when a feature is off.
It waits for you. Cleared items sit in Trash, under Settings → Trash, for 30 days, where you can restore them; after that they clear for good.
Open Settings → Privacy & data and choose Delete account & data to remove everything, or clear a single feature on its own. When you delete something it’s really gone — so export a copy first if you’d like to keep one.
On your device by default. If you turn on sync, an encrypted copy is stored so it can travel between your devices — still readable only by you. You can download all of it, or delete it, whenever you like.
Everything here is answered inside the app too, under Settings → Help & Feedback. If you can’t find what you need, there’s a Get in touch form there — send a note and a real person replies.
Open TimePeace and write one line. That’s the whole of onboarding.
