02 — most days don't feel important

until they become
memories.

A quiet morning coffee. A family milestone. A new puppy. Little things rarely feel important in the moment; later, they're the ones you want back. Mark makes them easy to keep, and turns them into a story you can look back on.

04 — made yours

eight looks.
one of them is yours.

The same journal, dressed the way you like it. Every theme has its own paper, ink and accent.

Then make it yours: the sky at the top of Today takes the tint you choose, the accent is any colour you like, and the doodles behind the page change with the season.

05 — behind the scenes

sealed on
your phone.

Your journal lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. What reaches your computer is sealed on the phone first. Our server carries it, and can't read a word.

06 — on any computer, on iPad

your journal, anywhere.
still yours.

Go to markjournal.app/journal, scan the code with your iPhone, and you're in. No account, no password. On iPad, Mark opens up into columns: your day beside what's next, a chapter beside the timeline of every chapter you've lived.

07 — coming from day one?

bring your journal
with you.

Years of writing shouldn't stay behind because you want a different app. Mark reads a Day One export and brings everything you wrote over.

    export

    in day one · export · json (.zip)

    In Day One, export your journal as a JSON .zip file.

  2. 02

    share sheet → mark · or files → open in mark

good to know

questions, answered.

Is Mark free?

Yes. The free plan is a whole journal on your iPhone, with your entire history, one photo per moment, three rituals, one thread plus your favourites, and a daily question. There's no time limit and nothing to cancel.

What does Premium add?

Up to 30 photos per moment, voice memos turned into words, the song and the day's walk or workout, unlimited rituals and threads, chapters, all seven prompt packs, insights across all your history, your Sunday summary, every theme and widget, and Mark on your iPad, on more than one iPhone and in the web journal.

How do I open my journal on a computer?

Go to markjournal.app/journal. Scan the code it shows with your iPhone's camera, and that browser is paired. (Or in Mark, go to Settings → web app → show a code, and type the six digits into the page.) There's no account and no password: your phone hands the browser the key. Next time, go to markjournal.app/journal and you're straight in; markjournal.app itself is always this site. You can add a four-digit passcode and have the page cover itself when you step away.

Can I bring my Day One journal?

Yes, on every plan. Export your journal from Day One as JSON, then open the file with Mark. Each Day One journal becomes a thread, your moments keep their dates, words, photos and places, and you can undo the whole import at any time. How it works.

Is my journal private?

Your journal lives on your devices and in your own iCloud. There's no Mark account, no ads and no feed. If you turn on the web journal, everything is sealed on your iPhone before it's sent, and our server only ever holds locked boxes it can't open. Private threads open only with Face ID. Read the privacy policy.

What happens if I stop paying?

You move to the free plan. Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away: every moment stays readable, and anything above Free's limits, extra photos, rituals, threads, stays yours. You just can't add more beyond the free limits.

I downloaded Mark before August 25, 2026. What changes?

Nothing you had is taken away. You keep the whole app, free, as it was, and your history is no longer trimmed to 14 days. A few things that are new in 2.0, like 30 photos per moment and voice transcripts, are part of Premium.

Does Mark work on iPad?

Yes. It's the same app, laid out in columns for the bigger screen, and it syncs through your iCloud. Using Mark on an iPad, or on more than one iPhone, is part of Premium.

Does Mark use AI?

Mark has no chatbot, and your journal is never sent to us or to anyone else to be read. Voice memos are turned into words on your iPhone, and the audio never leaves it. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, your Sunday summary can be written by Apple's model on the phone itself.

Can I share Premium with my family?

Yes. Premium subscriptions work with Apple Family Sharing. The lifetime purchase is just for you.

Can I take my journal with me?

Yes. You can export your journal from Mark whenever you like, on every plan.
