What happens when an entry locks in at8pm?

Once an entry locks at your configured time (8pm by default), it becomes read-only so you cannot edit, rewrite, or alter what you felt and recorded in the moment.

Where is my journal data stored?

Your journal entries sync using your private personal iCloud account and are never uploaded or stored on any first- or third-party servers.

Can I edit a locked entry if I really need to?

Yes, locked entries can be deliberately unlocked for 24 hours by spending an unlock credit within the app.

What formats can I use to record journal entries?

You can write in rich text, record voice audio notes, capture inline square video notes (Squopes), attach photos, and tag locations or moods.

Can I change the daily lock time?

Yes, while 8pm is the default, you can adjust the cutoff hour in settings to match your personal schedule.

About at8pm

What the tool does and who it's for

at8pm is an honest daily journal app that automatically locks your written entries at a set time each day—8pm by default. Once an entry locks, it becomes read-only, preventing post-hoc editing, rewriting history, or altering genuine moment-to-moment feelings. Entries support rich text formatting, location tags, photos, voice notes with wave forms, and inline 'Squopes' (square video notes). All journal data stays private by syncing exclusively via personal iCloud rather than third-party servers, with optional Face ID locking for on-device security.
