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 — on your phone, tablet or computer — and you can add it to your home screen so it behaves like an app, online or off. There’s also a free TimePeace app on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with an Android app coming soon. Sign in on any of them and your diary syncs across.
Yes on Apple — TimePeace is a free app on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and a Google Play version for Android is coming soon. You don’t have to wait for it, though: TimePeace also runs in any browser and adds to your home screen, so you can start on the web today and pick up the app whenever it suits you. Get it on the App Store →
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.
Two easy ways on iPhone: download the free app from the App Store, or open TimePeace in your browser, tap the Share button and choose Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the browser menu and tap Install app — a Google Play version is coming soon. Either way it 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.
Yes. One search reaches everything you have kept — your entries and the activities inside them, your people, your notes, and your plans and routines. Type a name, a place or half a phrase and the day comes back. It runs on your device, over your own records.
Yes — a proper notebook built into the app, with headings, paragraphs, lists and tick-boxes, kept beside the days the thoughts came from. Notes are searched by the same search that reaches your diary.
Yes. Groups gives a trip, a club, a team or a household its own shared page, built from the pieces you need: tasks, lists, an event plan, a roster, a poll, a shared ledger and announcements. Your own diary stays private — a group only holds what you put in it.
Yes, and it is part of the app rather than a season-end treat: read any month, quarter or year through the lens you like — everything, culture, work, travel, moving, your projects or your whole life story — written from what you kept.
Yes. Share a photo into TimePeace and it is kept beside the note it belongs to, shrunk and scrambled on your own phone and held there rather than uploaded.
Yes. Add moments from earlier in your life with the year they happened and read the whole thing end to end in the life-story view — you can export a chapter to keep or print.
Yes — twenty-five or fifty minutes, started from something you already planned or straight from Home. When the time is up it becomes an ordinary entry in your diary. Nothing on your phone is blocked; it is a held intention, not a lockdown.
Yes, gently. Choose something you want more of and roughly how often, and logging it in your diary counts it for you. Letting something go has its own quiet corner, where a slip is kept as part of the record rather than wiping it.
Yes — a short morning and evening routine in your own words, ticked off as you do it. Names only: no products, no ingredients and no score, and it is never a diagnosis tool.
Open TimePeace and write one line. That’s the whole of onboarding.
