Peer

Your life, already on the page.

Most journals hand you a blank page. Peer hands you your life — every week you have lived, the eras that shaped it, the milestones worth keeping. Look closely and you start to make things out.

Record as much of it as you like, free. Unlimited eras, unlimited tags, journaling at every scale, full export. One optional purchase unlocks what Peer makes of it.

Peer week grid on iPhone
From 4KWks

If you’re coming from 4KWks.

Peer is what 4KWks grew into. The grid is still the first thing you see, and it still shows every week — but now you can also step back to months and years, or in to a single day. Eras have real start and end dates. Journaling is no longer one note per cell.

Your data comes with you. Export from 4KWks (no purchase needed, in Settings) and import into Peer. Eras, tags, notes, dates — all of it lands intact.

4KWks is now free in full for everyone who has it, and stays downloadable for existing owners. It will not be updated again.

Features

A different relationship with time.

Life as a grid

Every week laid out at once — lived, current, remaining. Time stops being abstract the moment you can see the end of it.

Four scales, one life

Day, week, month, year. Zoom out for the shape of a decade; zoom in for the afternoon you want to remember properly.

Eras with edges

School, cities, jobs, relationships, recoveries. Give them start and end dates and they colour the grid. Overlaps show. Gaps show. Patterns you never articulated show.

Journaling without the blank page

Every entry lands somewhere — inside an era, next to a milestone, in a specific week of a specific year. Context you never have to supply yourself.

Your calendar as prompts

Optional. Pull the week’s events in beside the journal so you’re never writing from nothing. Nothing is stored, nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves the device.

Summary drafts, on device

Apple Intelligence turns a month of entries into a draft you can edit or discard. It runs on your phone. Your writing is never sent anywhere.

The poster

Export your whole life as a single-page PDF. Print it. Put it on a wall. The most useful thing Peer makes is the thing that isn’t on your phone.

Yours alone

No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No notifications. Nothing to opt out of, because there was never anything to opt into.

Use cases

A grid for every kind of life.

Memento mori, decade reviews, a life record, eras, family — same grid, many lenses.

Memento mori

The awareness that time is finite, without the dread. A glance reframes what is actually worth doing this week.

The decade review

A birthday with a zero in it, or a year ending. The grid surfaces the chapters you would otherwise have forgotten to count.

A life record, kept properly

Not a diary you fall behind on. A record of what your life has consisted of, added to whenever there’s something to add.

Seasons and eras

Jobs, cities, relationships, training cycles, recoveries. Give each one edges and watch how they actually overlapped.

Family alongside you

Your children’s school years, a parent’s later decades, plotted against your own weeks. Side by side, at the same scale.

Pricing

Nothing you record is behind a paywall.

Peer never sells you your own life back. Everything you put in, and everything you’d want to take out, is free — permanently, with no account and no trial clock.

Privacy

A deeply personal artifact, kept that way.

Peer is built so that the most personal thing you may ever record — your life — stays privately yours. There is no sistnt account, no sistnt server, and no telemetry. Sync is optional and entirely Apple’s: turn on iCloud and your record travels through your own Apple ID’s private storage, where sistnt cannot reach it. Leave it off and nothing ever leaves the device.

Summary drafts are generated by Apple Intelligence on your phone; your entries are not sent anywhere to produce them. Calendar events are read when you open the week and are never stored. The poster and the exports are generated on device — what you make is yours to print, share, or keep to yourself.

No notifications

Peer will not chase you.

There are no streaks, no reminders you didn’t ask for, no badge counts, and no messages telling you that you’ve been away. Peer has no interest in your attention — you bought it once, and it has nothing left to sell you.

Come back when you have something to record. The grid will have kept going without you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

A record of your life you can see all at once, and write into. Each square is a week — lived or still ahead. Mark the eras, note the milestones, write at whatever scale the memory deserves.
Soon — Peer is waiting on App Store review, so there is nothing to download just yet. Subscribe to the newsletter and you’ll hear the day it is live.
It became Peer. 4KWks is now unlocked in full for everyone who has it and will not be updated again. Export your data from its Settings screen and import it into Peer; everything transfers intact.
No. Get in touch and you’ll be sent a Peer Premium code.
Roughly the number of weeks in an eighty-year life. The framing was popularised by Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks. Peer is an independent app and not affiliated with the book or its author.
No. Peer is contemplative, not a doom counter. Most people find seeing the whole thing clarifying rather than heavy — the remaining squares tend to read as room, not as a countdown.
Yes. Entries can attach to a day, a week, a month, or a full year. A holiday can be one entry. A Tuesday that mattered can be its own.
Only if you turn it on, and only the current week, and only to show events beside the journal so you have something to write from. Nothing is copied into Peer and nothing leaves your phone.
No. Summary drafts are produced by Apple Intelligence on your device. Your writing does not go to a server — not sistnt’s, not anyone’s.
Only if you switch on iCloud sync, and then only through your own Apple ID’s private storage — the same place your Notes and Photos live. sistnt has no server and no account system, so we never see it. Leave sync off and your record stays on the one device.
No. There are none at all.
Peer is a tool, not a service. The details of your life should never be held hostage to a monthly fee.
