That question, once a day, is the whole of Let it be... a private journal for iPhone and Android that takes about three seconds and shows you your own patterns over time.
The sky at the top is the hour where you are, read in your browser and sent nowhere.
What it asks of you
- About three seconds
- One word is a complete entry. The rest is optional, always.
- No account
- Nothing to sign up for. Open it and write.
- No streak
- Miss a day and nothing happens. The days you showed up are still there.
Later
Seconds now. A record later.
One entry is small. A record is not. The days you show up sit next to each other, and after a few weeks you can read them back.
Your words start to come back. An entry from weeks ago resurfaces beside today's.
ExampleMade up to show the idea. Not real user writing.
The day opens on your own sky.
Today holds the check-in, one suggested next moment, and yesterday sitting quietly underneath. Nothing else asks for you.
Ten quiet minutes, if you have them.
Breathing, meditation and stretching, or a soundscape to slip into. Short sessions, and nothing to finish.
Put the day down in a line.
Add a line, a photo or a tag. Entries sit by day, with gratitude and memories beside them, so a hard week and a good one are both easy to find again.
Keep what you want in view.
Affirmations to read before sleep, and vision boards to build and come back to. Small steps, held where you can see them.

Is it on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Let it be... is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Both are the same app with the same three-second check-in. Tap the badge for your phone at the top of any page and the store opens.
How long does a check-in take?
About three seconds: open the app, pick the word closest to how you feel, and you are done. You can stop there. If you want to say more, add a line or answer a prompt. Nothing beyond the mood word is required.
What do I write if I do not know where to start?
Start with one line about what is on your mind. If that feels hard, use a prompt and answer only the first question. A short line is a real entry. You do not need full sentences, and you do not need to write every day.
