Vapor is a one-word-a-day journal.

Open the app. Write the word that captures today. Add a 280-character note if the day demands one. Close the app. The whole ritual takes thirty seconds.
Over time, those single words become a portrait of who you've been.

What's inside:
• Today: one word, one day, optional note
• The Ritual: a breathing pause before you write
• Calendar: every entry across time, older days fade
• Words: a slow cloud, top 10, and a 3D Orbit you can share as a video
• Soul Weather: a hand-written forecast of your inner climate
• Letters: seal a word and a short note to your future self, lock it for a week to a year
• Multilingual dictionary in six languages
• Optional fingerprint lock
• Hide patterns toggle: keep writing without seeing the aggregations
• Crisis resources for 50 countries, always offline
• CSV export: your data, your phone

The breath before the word
Before you write, Vapor pauses. A breathing horizon. Recent words drifting past. Tap when you're ready. Skip it if you're not. The pause is yours.

Your inner weather
Soul Weather reads your recent words and writes you a forecast: "fog burning off", "the front, sharper", "the wind, ongoing". A glyph, a phrase, a 7-day retrospective. Every phrase hand-written. No AI in the lexicon.

Letters to your future self
Seal today's word and a short letter to yourself. Lock the pair for a week, a month, a year. When the date arrives, your past self meets your present self.

You've shown up
When you write multiple days in a row, Vapor counts. The framing is "you've shown up." Past tense. Kind. No streak panic, no notification nags, no AI coach. Consistency without the guilt.

Honest about its limits
Vapor is a mirror, not therapy. It ships with crisis resources for 50 countries, always offline, never logged. There is no AI watching your words for distress signals. We considered adding one and decided against it. A model that reads your private writing would break the local-only privacy stance, and false positives in a journaling context are particularly bad. If you're going through something, please talk to someone real. That's what people are for.

Vapor Premium (optional)
For those who keep showing up and want a little more: display typefaces and quiet themes, a monthly recap and a year in review, high resolution printables, an encrypted backup you export to your own storage, and ambient soundscapes for the minute you write. The one word a day stays free, always.

Your interior life belongs to you
Everything you write stays on your phone. Local SQLite, encrypted at rest in Android Keystore. No accounts. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. No advertising or analytics SDKs. Works fully offline. No Google sign-in required.

The only network calls are optional dictionary lookups in English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and Chinese, and, if you choose Premium, the subscription check handled by Google Play. The word you tap on and your subscription status are the only things that ever leave your phone. Your journal never does.

Designed in dark mode. Cormorant Garamond italic for the word. Inter for everything else.

Built solo by an Australian developer. The one word a day stays free, always. No ads, ever. Just a journal.
