I built a journal that opens like a book on iPhone Duo.

I'm building Everkept, a private journal for iPhone an, and I've spent the last few weeks getting it ready for the Duo.

Each day is a table: you put photos, a few words, a voice note or some handwriting on it, and it seals at midnight. Folded, the Duo shows today, like any iPhone. Open it and it becomes a book:

  • Today: the same date a year ago on the left, today on the right
  • Archive: the calendar on the right, and the day you tap opens whole on the left
  • Echoes: every year you kept this date, with the one in front open on the left
  • Ask: ask your journal a question, and the day it found opens on the left

The tabs and tools sit in the Duo's own bar on the right edge, so nothing ends up in the fold.

It's private: no account, no ads, no tracking. Your journal stays on your phone and in your own iCloud, and Ask runs on the device with Apple Intelligence.

The screenshots are from the iPhone Duo simulator. I'd love to hear what feels off, especially from anyone getting a Duo on launch day.
