Features

Everything it does,
and what each plan gets.

Ordered by what actually carries the promise. The retrospective is first because it's the reason the rest exists — anything can store a moment, and almost nothing hands it back.

Insights and retrospectives

Pro for every week

Private weekly, monthly and yearly stories built from the moments you saved, with every pattern tappable through to the real moments. Free includes one weekly recap a month; Pro opens every week plus the monthly and yearly stories.

Moments

A few words, a feeling you pick yourself, and an optional photo — in about ten seconds. Free includes five a day with a photo on each and five feelings; Pro raises that to ten a day and twenty feelings. Back out mid-thought and it's kept as a draft.

Day notes

Free for everyone

A card Wonaby writes for you each day from the moments you saved, with nothing to fill in and nothing to complete. Add or edit a moment on an earlier day and that day's note catches up on its own. Free for everyone.

Ask Wonaby

Pro to ask

A private chat that answers questions using only your own journal, running on your phone. Counts are real tallies, and when there's nothing to go on it says so. On the free plan past conversations stay readable, but starting one or sending a message needs Pro.

Categories and tags

Organise moments your way: broad categories on top, specific tags underneath, with your own names, colours and icons. Free includes three of the six ready-made categories, one of your own and three tags; Pro opens all six, ten and a hundred.

Calendar

Scroll back through the last twelve months month by month, see a quiet dot on each day you saved something, and tap any of them to open it. No colours ranking you and no half-finished days to feel bad about.

Voice capture

Pro for on-device

Speak a moment instead of typing it — the mic is free on every plan, and the words land as text you can read over first. With Pro, an on-device voice model does the listening, so it works with no connection and your voice never leaves the phone.

Reminders

One nudge a day that your day's note is ready, at a time, on the days and in the tone you choose. Wonaby only asks for notification access when you set one, takes no for an answer, and one switch turns it off. Never a guilt trip.

App lock

A PIN or your fingerprint in front of everything you write, so a borrowed phone never becomes an open diary. Offered once during setup and never nagged about again. It guards the screen; encryption guards the words.

Works with no signal

Capturing, day notes, retrospectives and the chat all run on your phone, so everything works offline. Moments save the instant you tap and sync privately across your devices when you're back online.

Take your data with you

Export everything you've written, photos included, into one file you keep — readable text, a data file, or both. It's yours to move anywhere, and Wonaby deletes its copy the moment you've saved it.

Every limit written out line by line, plus what Pro costs, lives on the pricing page. For the path from a ten-second moment to a yearly story, read how it works.

In more detail

The detail that doesn't fit on a card.

How each of these behaves once you're actually using it, including the edges: what happens when you switch a category off, where the listening happens when you dictate, and what an export actually is. The retrospectives get their own walk-through on how it works, from a ten-second moment to the story of a year.

Categories that bend to you

Wonaby ships with six ready-made categories and their tags, so you can tag a moment on day one without setting anything up. When the defaults don't match how you think, make your own: a category with a name and a colour, then tags with their own icons. It's a two-level system, broad categories on top and specific tags underneath, and you can rename, recolour, re-icon or remove anything.

Any category or tag can be switched off instead of deleted. An off category keeps its name, its colour and every moment already tagged with it; it just stops being offered when you tag something new, and switching it back on is one tap. Remove one for good and your journal doesn't change behind you: every moment already tagged with it keeps that tag exactly as you wrote it, because tidying your labels today can't rewrite what you logged last month. Removing is the one thing here you can't take back, so it asks first.

A change of plan works the same way. If Pro ends, moments tagged with a category that's no longer included keep their tag and colour, and if you have more custom categories or tags than the plan allows, Wonaby switches off the least-used extras, never deletes them, and tells you so.

Voice, and where the listening happens

Tap the mic inside a moment or in your Ask Wonaby chat, say what happened, and the text lands all at once, ready to keep or edit. Nothing is ever sent for you: in the chat, the transcript sits in your message until you choose to send it.

Speaking a moment is free on every plan. What Pro changes is where the listening happens. On the free plan Wonaby uses your phone's own built-in dictation, the same one your keyboard's mic uses: it works offline when your phone has a speech model installed, reaches for the network when it doesn't, and the audio travels the way that service sends it. With Pro you download a voice model in Settings and your speech becomes text on the device in your hand: more accurate, no connection needed, and the audio never leaves. Wonaby offers two model sizes and marks the one that fits your phone. The only thing that needs a connection is the one-time download, and Wonaby checks with you before using mobile data for it. A toggle switches back to your phone's own dictation any time.

Reminders you shape

One reminder a day, at a time you pick, on the days you pick, in one of four message styles: Direct, Calm, Warm or Quick. Wonaby asks for notification permission when you set the reminder, not on the way in, and if you decline it doesn't ask again on its own. If your phone is blocking notifications, reminder settings say so plainly and take you to the setting that turns them back on.

Tap a reminder and it opens Wonaby's note on that day, and it means that day: open an evening reminder after midnight, or days later from your notification list, and it still lands on the day it was about. If the day is empty, the tap simply drops you at home. Reminders are scheduled and delivered on your phone, so they work offline and no server pings you. The time and days you set live with your account, so each of your devices reminds you the same way. One switch turns them off.

The calendar, month by month

The last twelve months and the current one in one smooth scroll, with the year label on months from earlier years so moving back stays easy to follow. A small dot marks each past day you saved something on; days with nothing recorded carry no marker, and today gets its dot once the day is over. Today is picked out by a thin ring and the day you're viewing fills in. A floating label always tells you which month you're looking at, and a one-tap Today button brings you back to now. The calendar never changes anything; it helps you find the moments you already recorded, and it works with no signal.

App lock, and what it doesn't cover

Set a PIN, or use the biometrics your phone already has (fingerprint on Android, Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone), and Wonaby asks for it before it opens. It locks again after the app has been in the background for more than a minute. A PIN always stays set as the fallback, so biometrics build on it rather than replacing it, and you're never locked out of your own journal. Repeated wrong PINs trigger a cooldown before the next try, and if the guessing keeps going, Wonaby signs out entirely. Your lock settings survive a normal sign-out, and with a lock on, Wonaby keeps you signed in when there's no connection.

Two honest boundaries. App lock is a gate on the app, not a replacement for your phone's own lock screen, so set a device passcode too. And it isn't what keeps your words secret: your journal is end-to-end encrypted whether or not app lock is on.

Export, and what the file is

Export everything you've written, photos included, into one file you keep: readable text, a data file, or both. It's on every plan, free included, and Wonaby deletes its copy the moment you've saved it. The file is plain and unencrypted by design, so it opens anywhere; app lock guards Wonaby, not the file you carried out of it, so keep it somewhere you trust. Why the export exists at all is answered on the pricing page, under the question about what happens if we shut down.

Analytics, only if you switch them on

Sharing usage and crash reports is strictly opt-in. Nothing is set up, no identifier is stored and no request is sent until you switch it on in Privacy & data settings; switching it off stops it and clears its identifiers from your device. What's shared when you opt in is pseudonymous taps and technical errors, never what you write. The full picture of what the server can and can't see is on the FAQ.
