A life you can
look back on

one month at a time

Getsu is a journal you write once a month. Set a few goals for the year, place each one on a month, and write one calm entry about what actually happened. No daily nags. No streaks to break. In a year, you'll have something worth rereading.

WHAT YOU GET

Four quiet surfaces. That's the whole app.

Your year, on one screen

The Timeline is home: every month of the year in one calm scroll. Months you've written glow with life, months to come stay faint, and the one you're in wears a soft pearl sheen. You always know where the year stands.

One honest entry a month

No daily prompts, no guilt. When a month ends, sit down for ten minutes and write what actually happened: a title, a few moments, a photo or two. Plain markdown, a natural editor. Twelve entries a year, each one worth keeping.

Goals that live on the calendar

A yearly goal you never look at is just a wish. In Getsu you drag each goal onto the month where it will happen, so the year has a shape and every month has a job. Check goals off as they land and watch progress add up.

Look back, and actually see it

Reflect gathers your photos and best lines into a rail of memories, then reads your whole journey back to you: what went well, where you grew, what to pick up next. This month last year is always one tap away.

Daily is a chore. A year is a blur.

A month is just right: often enough to remember, rare enough to stay calm. You show up about once a month, and that's the whole point.

Progress, not streaks

Goals add up across the year instead of living or dying by a fragile chain. Miss a month and nothing breaks.
