Features & Capabilities

Seven days with everything in it — and now FIVE says so. A quiet countdown, one friendly reminder, then a one-time unlock. No subscription, no ads, no tracking.

FIVE is a calm, private journaling app that helps you improve your wellbeing in just five minutes a day.

Pay once. Yours forever.

  • No subscription, ever. Two simple one-time purchases: Core unlocks the daily journal — unlimited writing, your own templates, mood check-ins, reminders and iCloud sync. Everything adds handwriting, photos, mood insights over time, the widgets, writing via Siri and the Face ID lock.
  • Try everything free for 7 days. Reading your entries — and exporting them — stays free forever.
  • No ads. No trackers. No sign-up.
  • Your entries stay private. They sync only through your own iCloud — we run no servers of our own, and we never see them.

What FIVE gives you more time to do:

Reflect:

  • Build a gratitude practice into your daily routine, as recommended by leaders like Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss and Oprah Winfrey.
  • Look back on your day and learn from it.
  • Keep space for your thoughts and everything on your mind.

Feel:

  • Check in with one of five faces — one tap in the morning, one at night.
  • Watch your weeks take shape: a gently narrated summary, a soft curve, a calendar of faces, a colour heatmap.
  • Tap any day in the summary and the entry behind it opens.

Plan:

  • Plan joyful activities and picture happy moments for the day ahead to get into the right mindset.
  • Outline new ideas for your personal growth.

Get inspired:

  • Each day brings a quote from inspiring thinkers to reflect on — on your Home Screen too, as a widget.

Make it yours:

  • Customise your journal to fit your ideas.
  • Change the questions to suit your needs.
  • Add blocks and rows; use multi-line or single-line, numbered or unnumbered text fields.
  • Write and sketch by hand with Apple Pencil, and keep photos right inside your entries.
  • Save your layout for every day to come.

Take it everywhere:

  • Add a thought through Siri or Shortcuts without opening the app, and see from the Lock Screen whether today's entry is written.
  • Jump to any day, month or year with the calendar.
  • Lock FIVE behind Face ID, and export your whole journal as a readable file whenever you like.

Start with FIVE today if you want to:

  • improve your overall wellbeing in the long run.
  • reduce anxiety and negativity.
  • get to know yourself better.
  • welcome more joy into your life.

Privacy:

  • FIVE uses iCloud to sync your private data between your devices. If you'd rather it didn't, disable iCloud for the app in the iOS settings.
  • Your entries are private and visible only to you, synced through your own Apple-provided iCloud database.
