Common questions

What is a root?

One memory: a place, a person, a taste, a sound, words someone said, or a moment. Only a kind and a title are needed; a story, year, place, photo or voice note are optional.

How do I read the chart?

Deeper means older: Childhood at the bottom, Recent near the surface. Bigger nodes are roots you return to most, and the top three get a gold ring. Roots you haven't opened for a year fade, but never disappear.

Do I have to answer the daily question?

No. Swipe it away or tap × to skip. There are no streaks.

Is my journal backed up?

It's stored on your iPhone and included in your normal iPhone backup. You can also make a backup file (with photos and voice notes) from Settings → Back up, and restore it on any iPhone.

How do I delete everything?

Settings → Delete all roots removes every root, photo and voice note from the app.
