Lunar Mirror: Moon Journal

Moon apps tell you what the moon means. Mood trackers score your days. Lunar Mirror shows you your own rhythms: only what your days actually show. A MINUTE IN THE EVENING Rate the day on ten values, from calm and clarity to energy and focus, each on a line with words, not bare numbers. Add a word and a line, tick the practices you kept and what visited you, and seal the day. The sealed day shows where each value sits among your usual days. YOUR PATTERNS, NOT HOROSCOPES The moon is the clock your days are read against, not their cause. Lunar Mirror says that a value rises and falls with the moon only when your own entries show it beyond chance, across several moons, and it tells you how often it held: "Your Calm is usually highest around the last quarter and lowest around the first quarter. Seen in 7 of 7 moons." Until then it says nothing, and tells you why. A MIRROR, NOT A SCORECARD No streaks, no scores, no "great job". Each day is placed among your usual ones, never against yesterday. ALL YOUR RHYTHMS IN ONE PLACE The moon, your menstrual cycle if you choose to track it, the seasons, the year, and chapters of your own: a marathon block, a new job, a recovery. Dates you want to remember mark their days. When your cycle runs about as long as the moon, Lunar Mirror tells you that the two can't be told apart yet, instead of crediting either. MOONS, SEASONS AND THE YEAR Name each moon when it closes and carry a line into the next. At each solstice and equinox, look back on the season that ends; each season you've written in opens on its own page, with the moons that closed in it. At the turn of the year, look back on the year. The seasons follow your hemisphere. YOUR NOTEBOOK, ON PAPER Turn a season or a year into a notebook: your days, the patterns they make, and room to write by hand where a day stayed empty. It is a PDF made on your phone, for A4, US Letter or A5, in colour or black and white. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets show tonight's moon and this moon's days on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, without your values or words. QUIET BY DESIGN Two notifications, both optional: an evening reminder, only on days you haven't written, and a look-back the morning after a moon, a season or the year closes. Night or Day, or as your iPhone is set. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal stays on your phone. No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. A Face ID or Touch ID lock is there if you want it. Moonrise times need no location access: type a city. TRADITIONS, IF YOU LIKE Moon signs and numerology are off by default. Switch them on and they appear, labelled as old ways of reading time, not based on your entries. Patterns then also sets your days against the moon's signs, by the same rule as everything else. Lunar Mirror is for reflection. It is not medical advice, and cycle tracking is not contraception.
