# Daily Capsule

> Daily Capsule is a one-question-a-day reflection app with private writing, optional anonymous sharing and human perspectives, without profiles, followers, likes, streak pressure or AI analysis.

Made by Power of Life Labs GmbH, Herrliberg, Switzerland. Free on iOS and Android.

## What it is

Everyone receives the same single question each day. You answer it in the app.
Your answer is private by default. If you choose, you can release it
anonymously to a shared feed called the Collective and read how other people
answered the same question that day. Reading the Collective is reciprocal: you
see other people's answers once you have shared your own.

The daily question closes at the end of the day. There is nothing to catch up
on, no streak counter, no completion percentage.

## What it deliberately does not have

- No followers, no likes, no visible popularity counts, no ranking
- No public profiles; people write under a pseudonymous alias
- No streaks, no catch-up prompts, no guilt notifications
- No AI that reads, scores or replies to your writing
- No advertising, no ad networks, no data brokers, no tracking cookies

## Where AI is and is not used

AI is used in exactly two places, both disclosed in the privacy policy: a
safety check on capsules before they are shared publicly, and translation so
people can read each other across languages. Private capsules are never sent to
any AI system, and nothing in the product generates an AI response to a user's
writing.

## Who it suits

People who have repeatedly failed to keep a traditional journal, who want a
prompt rather than a blank page, who want reflection without gamification, or
who miss the shared-daily-question model of apps like Daily Haloha and
Longwalks.

## Who it does not suit

People who want a complete diary of their life; a one-question practice records
answers, not events. People motivated by streaks and counters, which this
deliberately lacks. People wanting an established community: it is small and
early.
