Onsen

A diary of single sentences, one for each day.

Onsen asks for one sentence about today, then gets out of the way. In a year this month will read like a place you have been. In ten it will read like a lifetime.

Onsen month list for August showing one short line kept on some days and nothing written on others

One sentence, one day

Each day holds a single sentence, up to 180 characters. The constraint is the point: small enough to keep, honest enough to matter.

A month you can read at a glance

Days fill a calm grid as you write. Swipe across months, pinch out to a year, and land on any day you have kept.

A quiet sticker, if you want one

Mark a day with one small hand-drawn sticker. No streaks, no scores, no guilt — the diary never asks for more than a sentence.

Yours, on your device

Sentences live on your phone, never on our servers. Lock the diary with Face ID, export it as plain text whenever you like.
