The daily email
Get tomorrow’s prompt
One real prompt from the library, by email, every morning, starting tomorrow. A question some mornings, and on the others a photo, their voice, or something to go and do. Answer it in the app, in a notebook, or in your head on the way to school. Free, and not a trial.
Every prompt is public, so nothing here is on faith — read all 133 first if you’d rather.
Looking for the app instead? Pocket Chronicle is on iPhone and free to start — Download on the App Store. The email works with it or without it.
What you’re signing up for
One prompt a day
A question or a small mission, short enough to read in the notification preview. Answer it anywhere — a notebook counts, and always will. The email draws from the daily prompts in the library, missions included, whatever you end up paying in the app. The weekly missions, the monthly measurements and the sealed letters stay in the app.
It doesn’t need the app
The email stands on its own — answer in a notebook, a notes app, anywhere. If you do have Pocket Chronicle on your phone, backdating means a paper answer still files under the day it happened.
Nothing else
No digests, no offers, and no reminders about prompts you skipped. Unsubscribe in one click, any morning.
What tomorrow’s email looks like
What did they say this week that you want to remember exactly?
Write it somewhere. Anywhere. That’s the whole thing.
The subject line is the prompt, and the body is one line more. If an email takes longer to read than the notification preview, it’s too long — that’s the format working, not a corner being cut.
And the promise the app makes, the email keeps: what happens to the archive — no ads, nothing sold, nothing deleted unless you ask — is written down in full before you hand over anything, including an address.
