Punctum: One moment a day

Every day has its point.

Roland Barthes called it the punctum: the small detail in a photo that pierces you. Punctum is a quiet daily ritual built around it. Each evening you choose one moment from your day and write one line on why. Over weeks and years those moments become your own archive of what mattered.

ONE MOMENT, EVERY DAY
• In the evening, Punctum suggests a few candidates from the photos you took today. You always make the choice.
• Write one line on why this moment (or leave it blank).
• The photo seals when your day ends, so each day keeps its moment. The line stays yours to edit.
• Missed a day? You can still fill in yesterday until 4 am.

A GENTLE REMINDER
• One notification a day, at the hour you choose. No streaks, no guilt: an empty day is part of the archive too.

YOUR ARCHIVE
• See your month as a grid of moments, or your year as a mosaic of colours.
• A month or a year ago today, a past moment comes back to you.
• Share any moment as a beautiful card to Instagram Stories or anywhere else.
• Export everything, photos and lines, as one file whenever you like.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your photos and lines stay on your phone. We never receive them.
• Suggestions are made on your phone; nothing is uploaded for analysis.
• Optional backup goes to a hidden folder in your own Google Drive that only Punctum can read.
