The Hourly Method

Your day is easier to understand while you are still living it.

Most journals ask you to rebuild an entire day from memory at night. Hourly Journal takes a smaller approach: one gentle prompt, one short note, one hour at a time. The result is not a perfect record β€” it is a more honest one.

The Hourly Method in three small steps

  1. Step 1: Notice

    A reminder arrives during the hours you choose.

  2. Step 2: Name the hour

    Add a few words, a mood, or a tag.

  3. Step 3: Look back

    See the patterns that are hard to remember from one end of the day.

This is the practice behind Hourly Journal. See the features.
