Kipo

A private journal of things you got done

Keep what you got done.

Write one line when you finish something. Kipo keeps it by day, then reads it back as your week, your month, your season and your year — in your own words.

How it works

Follow one line from the evening you write it to the year it belongs to.

A sample journal: every note and number below is made up for illustration. The week is free; the month, the season and the year are Premium chapters.

01The lineWednesday, 8:05 PM

Write it while it’s fresh.

Tap “What did you get done?”, type what you finished, save. One line is a whole note. File it under Personal or Work and add a project if you like — or leave it at that.

Changed your mind? Undo stays on screen for six seconds.

02The dayA moment later

Kept on the day it happened.

Notes gather by day in a local database on your iPhone — today first, then yesterday, then every day before it. Reading, editing and deleting are always free.

Forgot one? Add it to a past day from the calendar — it’s kept on that day, without a time.

03The weekSunday

Read back as a chapter.

Every week becomes a chapter: how much you got done, on which days, what you wrote on each, where it went — and the words you kept coming back to. Free, every week, starting on the day you choose, all the way back to your first note.

A week ends with notes on fewer than three days? Then it’s a quiet week, and the chapter says so without fuss.

04The seasonDecemberPremium

Then a whole season.

When autumn is over, its chapter reads the same way at a longer stride: three months side by side, each one tap from its own chapter, and the words that carried them.

Month, season and year chapters come with Premium. The week stays free, every week.

05The yearDecember 31Premium

And, in the end, a year.

Twelve months of small things, told back in the words you used. That Wednesday-evening tap repair is in there too — open “kitchen” and it’s one of the 23 notes under it.

Chapters you open while subscribed stay readable if you cancel.

Chapters in your own words

There is no model, and no word you did not write yourself.

Every chapter is counted on your iPhone, from your notes, each time you open it. Nothing is generated, summarised or rated.

  1. Counted, never written

    How many things, on which days, and how they split across Personal, Work and — with Premium — categories of your own.

  2. Your words, as you wrote them

    Up to five words or short phrases you used most — each found in at least two different notes in a week, three in a longer chapter. Tap one to read those notes.

  3. Always up to date

    Edit a note, or add one to an earlier day, and the chapter changes with it.

Around the journal

Small tools, where you’d look for them.

Widgets, calendar, search, reminders, export and a lock. All of them free.

Widgets

Today’s notes, this week’s count, or one tap into quick add — right on the Home Screen. With Face ID lock on, note text in widgets stays hidden unless you allow it; the counts stay.

Calendar

Each month at a glance, every day marked by how full it was and in the colour of the category that filled it. Tap a day to read it — or to add the note you forgot.

Search

Finds any part of any note, whatever the case or accents, and the projects they are filed under. Narrow it to a category, a project, this month or this year.

  • Reminders

    An evening nudge on the days you pick, and a weekly recap on the last day of your week that opens that week’s chapter. Local notifications, both optional.

  • Export

    The whole journal as Markdown, or as CSV with each note’s date, time where it has one, and time zone, through the iOS share sheet.

  • Face ID lock

    Lock Kipo with Face ID or your passcode. It covers the app and its preview in the app switcher.

For work Premium

Your Work notes, ready for the meeting.

Two tools read only what you filed under Work, grouped by project, in the words you used. Personal notes never appear in them. Both come with Premium.

Weekly prep

Paste your week, not a summary.

This week’s or last week’s Work notes, project by project, in the order they happened. Tap a line to leave it out, then share the rest as text, word for word.

Weekly prep opens with an active subscription, each time you use it.

Career review

A quarter of work, in your own words.

Pick a quarter, a half year or a year. It counts what you filed under Work, shows your pace — about how many a week — and the words you used most; tap one to see its notes. Then where the work went, project by project, with the dates of its first and last note. Share it as text, every note dated and under its project.

Like the longer chapters, a review you opened while subscribed stays readable if you cancel.

Local first, stated plainly

Your journal lives on your iPhone.

No account, no Kipo login, no journal server, no sync. Notes are kept in a local database on the phone, and every chapter is counted right there.

Stays on the phone

  • Your notes, categories and projects
  • Every chapter, and the words in it
  • Search, calendar and your reminders’ schedule

What leaves it, and why

  • Subscription checks, so the app knows whether Premium is active.
  • Optional usage analytics and error reports. On by default; switch them off in Settings — the app works the same. Usage events never include your notes.
  • What you export or share, to wherever you choose to send it.

No sync also means your journal lives on this one iPhone, so export it whenever you like. Read the privacy policy
