Hey Product Hunt 👋 I made Hibiki because I’ve always liked the idea of keeping a diary, but I never enjoyed sitting in front of a blank page trying to decide what was worth writing. The strange thing is, most days actually contain plenty of things worth remembering. A meal you really liked. A movie you watched. A place you visited. Someone you met. A night you didn’t sleep well. A small thing that made the day feel good. None of these moments necessarily feel important enough to become a full journal entry. But months or years later, they’re often exactly the things you wish you could remember. So I designed Hibiki around a simple idea: Instead of asking you to “write a diary,” it asks you a few small, concrete questions about your day. What happened today? Where did you go? Who did you meet? What did you enjoy? You can answer one of them, all of them, or almost nothing at all. I also deliberately kept the structure limited instead of turning Hibiki into a fully customizable journaling system. I wanted opening the app to feel simple: there shouldn’t be another decision to make before you can start remembering your day. Hibiki also isn’t meant to optimize your life. A lot of apps encourage us to become more productive, more disciplined, healthier, happier, or somehow better than we were yesterday. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I wanted Hibiki to do something quieter: Help you notice the life you already have. Over time, your small daily records turn into something you can look back on — not a perfectly written diary, but a picture of the days you actually lived. Hibiki is available on iPhone, with a free version and a one-time Pro purchase. No subscription. I’d especially love feedback on one thing: Does this lighter, question-based way of journaling feel easier to keep using than a traditional blank-page diary? Thanks for taking a look at Hibiki.
