Previously
Recollect with the journaling app for all the Things you’ve done (and macOS)
FEATURES
What Previously is
All about the past
The future is only one half. Remember the past? Previously is all about it. Recollect your experiences through journaling and retrospection in a new way.
A daily journal app, not a life coach
Promises (features) are "a dime a dozen" when it comes to apps. Previously is intentionally focused on writing. Because if you don’t write, what’s the point? Of course Previously has features but they’re transparent and privacy-focused.
All your past milestones & wins
You don’t face a blank page. Previously connects to Things 3 and your Apple ecosystem. Each day’s completed tasks, calendar events, photos and more can be added to your Previously journal, or simply used as inspiration.
Designed for your Mac, built on purpose
Native and on-device, built that way deliberately. Everything you write and bring in stays on your Mac, is treated with respect, and protected with simple, trustworthy methods. Read more

| Notifications or nagging you to keep a streak | Only if you ask nicely. |
| Dark patterns, shit features, and engagement bait | No. |
| "AI" features | Not yet. Read more. |
