Contact support →Tackbok is a free, open-source gratitude journal for iOS and Android. You can write entries, add photos and voice memos, record moods, use tags and prompts, and set optional daily reminders.
Yes. Tackbok is free, open source, and ad-free. Optional one-time support purchases may help fund development, but they unlock no features and the journaling experience is not behind a paywall.
The Support Tackbok screen offers four voluntary, one-time options. Prices are shown by your app store in your local currency, and every option can be purchased again. Apple or Google processes the payment, with RevenueCat helping Tackbok retrieve products and purchase results. Tackbok does not ask for your name or email and does not send a separate receipt; your app store provides the purchase record and receipt.
Beta previews are available now through Google Play for Android and TestFlight for iOS. You can also join the waitlist for release news.
