The short version of everything people ask. Anything we missed? There’s a way to reach us inside the app.
It’s free, with no ads and nothing sold. Every feature is included, and you can log as much as you like.
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. Nothing about how you use the app or what you write in it goes to any advertiser, and nothing about you is sold. So we can tell which of our adverts work, the iPhone app tells Meta three things only: that it was installed, that it was opened, and that an account was made — never in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, and the Usage measurement switch turns it off. This website and the web version of the app count visits without cookies — numbers, never who you are or what you write.
iPhone, iPad and Android — TimePeace is a free app on the App Store and on Google Play. Sign in on each of your devices and your diary syncs across them, online or off.
Both — TimePeace is a free app on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android. Get it on the App Store → Get it on Google Play →
Yes — TimePeace is a published app in ChatGPT’s own directory, listed as “TimePeace — Daily Log”. Add it there, sign in to your TimePeace account, and you can ask ChatGPT to log your day, keep a trip in order, build a training plan or plan your meals, without leaving the conversation. Adding to your diary works from the moment you connect; letting it read your days, or change your plans, stays off until you tick it. Claude has a listing of its own: TimePeace is in Claude’s connector directory under the same name, so in Claude you browse the connectors, find it and connect it. Any other assistant connects by adding TimePeace in its own connector settings. See TimePeace in the ChatGPT app directory → · See TimePeace in Claude’s connector directory →
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.
Yes. Skip every feature and it’s a private online diary with no ads and nothing sold — 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 free, with nothing sold. TimePeace vs Day One → TimePeace vs Daylio → TimePeace vs Journey → TimePeace vs Penzu → TimePeace vs Diarium → TimePeace vs Apple Journal → TimePeace vs Stoic →
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. Share a photo into TimePeace and it is kept beside the note it belongs to, shrunk and scrambled on your own phone. It stays there unless you switch on Media sync in Settings: then it is sealed with a key kept with your account and uploaded, so your other signed-in devices can open it.
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 — 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.
Short answers for every part of the app, grouped the way the app is.
One private place for your days: a diary you add to as you go, a planner for what’s next, and what your days add up to over time.
Everything you add — a walk, a meal, a catch-up, a note — goes into your diary, and Home shows today at a glance.
Nothing is required. Switch on the parts you want in Features, and the rest stays out of the way.

| Use it for homework, a test or an exam that belongs to a course. It sits in Assessments and counts down to your next exam. | Use it for any other job with a due date. It sits in Planner → Day, can have steps, and goes into your diary when you tick it. |

No — not yet. Once a term is set it can’t be changed, so check the dates before you save.
No. The term’s start decides which week is A and which is B. Classes carry on after the term ends, so a wrong end date changes little.

Say or type anything and Talk puts it where it belongs — a diary line, a plan, a to-do. It can also find things and take you places.
Open Talk from Where to — tap the name of the screen at the top — or tap the mic on Home. Try “Ran 5k this morning” or “Book the car in before the trip”.
Ask where something is and it offers Take me there. Ask when you last saw someone and it looks through your diary, on your phone.
Talk is switched on in Settings → Features.
Related: Saying it so it files right · What leaves your phone when you use Talk · How much Talk does on its own
Say one thing the way you’d tell a friend, with the day or time when it matters. Talk shows you everything it files.
“Dentist on Tuesday at 3” becomes a plan. “Called Mum” becomes a diary line. “Buy milk” becomes a to-do.
Each thing Talk files comes back as a card with Undo and Move it, so a wrong guess is one tap to fix.

On the card Talk showed, tap Undo to take it back, or Move it to put it somewhere else.

Out of the box, Talk files diary lines, plans, to-dos, notes, food and workouts and shows you each one. Trips wait for your yes.
Change it in Settings → How much it does on its own. For each kind of thing, choose Ask me first, File it and show me or Just do it.
Deleting a whole thing always waits for you.

Under the mic, tap Hands-free. Talk reads its answer out loud, then listens again.
Answers are read by a voice built into your phone. If your phone has none for your language, Talk shows the answer instead.
Related: The mic isn’t working · What Talk can do
Only the words you choose to send to Talk, and what was said earlier in that same conversation. Your voice becomes text on your phone first.
The permission for Talk in Settings → Privacy & data says exactly this: “Only the words you choose to send to Talk — what you say or type — and, so it can follow a conversation, what was said earlier in that same conversation (never one you left more than three hours ago). Your voice becomes text on your phone first; nothing else is sent, never your diary or your history — unless you also turn on Talk’s memory, its own separate permission, which sends only the lines you chose to keep and a summary of your usual week.”
With Talk’s memory on, the lines you chose to keep and a short summary of your usual week go with each message — never your diary entries. See or change every line in Settings → What Talk remembers.
So it knows where things can go, Talk is also told today’s date, your language and the names of the screens you’ve switched on — never what’s in them. Anything Talk finds for you is searched on your phone. Talk keeps your chat 30 days.

Talk has a monthly allowance of 60 answers. It refreshes on the 1st.
Each answer Talk gives uses one — Try again and a tapped example count too. When the month’s allowance is used, Talk says so and comes back on the 1st.
On a very busy day for everyone, Talk may also pause until tomorrow.

Usually the mic is switched off for TimePeace in your phone’s settings. You can always type instead.
Why it happens: Your phone asks once whether TimePeace may use the mic. If the answer was no, Talk shows “The mic is switched off for TimePeace”.
What to do:
If that didn’t work: Still nothing? Some browsers can’t turn speech into text on the phone — type instead, or write to us.

In Settings → Features, switch off Talk and confirm. Nothing is sent after that, and what Talk filed stays in your diary.

The message on the sign-in screen says what went wrong — most often a small typo, or an email that still needs confirming.
Why it happens: Sign-in stops when the email and password don’t match, the email isn’t confirmed yet, there were too many tries, or there’s no connection.
What to do:
If that didn’t work: Forgotten your password, or still stuck? Write to us at support@timepeaceapp.com and a person will help you back in.

You. Your diary is kept on your phone and in your own private account, and nothing about you is ever sold.
Every entry is written on your phone first, then copied to your own account, so it’s there on every device you sign in on.
No advertiser or outside company reads your days. The only outside count is a cookie-free visit count on our website and in the web version of the app — a number, never who you are or what you write. The iPhone and Android apps carry none.
Groups are the one place other people see anything, and only what you choose to share there.
