Hi Product Hunt! I built Trace because the parts of life I cared about were scattered across a journal, reminders, habit apps, photo libraries, and contact notes. Each app knew one small piece, but none helped me see the whole story. Trace brings those pieces into one private timeline: memories, people, to-dos, goals, birthdays, and anniversaries. It works fully offline, or syncs through your own private iCloud—we run no content server and can't read your journal. The app started in Chinese and now supports English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean too. This launch also includes 24 free themes, so the app can feel personal without putting your life on a public profile. I'd really value your feedback: what would make a private life app useful enough to keep for years? To help early testers explore the full app, I also have 30 six-month Pro codes to share. If you'd like one, ask in the comments while they last—no upvote required.

Love how everything stays in one private timeline, the offline-first approach is a big plus for me. One thing I'd love to see is a quick way to link entries to specific contacts in the People section, like tapping a name to filter all journals, to-dos, and memories tied to them. Would make revisiting moments with someone so much easier.

Love that it pulls everything into one timeline and stays offline by default. The On This Day feature caught me scrolling longer than I expected.

What would make a private life app worth keeping for years?

I built Trace after realizing that my journal, reminders, photos, and notes about people were all telling different parts of the same story.

Before launch, I d love to hear from the Product Hunt community: what would make a private life app useful enough that you d still want it five years from now? Effortless capture, better resurfacing, stronger privacy or something else?

I also have 30 six-month Pro codes for early testers. If you d like one, leave a comment no upvote required.
