Frequently Asked Questions

Fortune Diary is an emotion diary and mood tracker that helps you discover your own emotional patterns, one day at a time. Find answers to common questions below.

Getting Started

What kind of app is Fortune Diary?
Fortune Diary(운세일기) is a self-reflective journaling app that combines an emotion diary with a mood tracker. Log how you feel each day, and as your entries build up, your personal emotional patterns come into view. The app draws on the traditional Four Pillars (Saju) system and the 60 Ganji (sexagenary cycle), but the heart of it isn't fortune-telling — it's emotional journaling and self-care.
How do I get started?
Just sign in with your Google or Apple account and you're ready to go. There's no separate sign-up process.
If I switch devices, will I lose my diary entries?
No. Sign in with the same Google / Apple account you first used, and all your existing data will come right along with you.
I'd like to see the how-to guide again.
You can rewatch the tutorial from the full menu screen. Feel free to revisit it anytime a feature feels unclear.

Diary & Mood Tracking

How do I write a diary entry?
Write down your thoughts for the day, and add photos and emotion stickers alongside them. You can search your past entries by keyword anytime.
How many photos can I attach?
You can attach up to 3 photos by default. Want more? Watch an ad to unlock up to 5 photos per entry.
What is the mood score?
It's a feature that lets you rate five areas — happiness, peace of mind, sleep quality, health, and productivity — on a scale of 0 to 100. Log them daily and your day gets summed up in a combined score, and as the data builds, you can see your emotional patterns at a glance.
Entering mood scores feels like a chore. Can I skip it?
Absolutely. You can turn off the mood score feature in Settings. If you'd rather just keep a simple diary, feel free to leave it off.
My photos are showing up on a map — what's that about?
That's the Photo Timeline feature. It automatically reads the EXIF data (time and location) from photos attached to your diary and plots your day's journey on a map in chronological order — a lovely way to retrace your memories.

Fortune & Reflection

How does the fortune reading work?
Insights are based on the traditional Four Pillars (Saju) and 60 Ganji cycle. That said, fortune results are grounded in traditional calendrics and are meant for reference and fun — please use them as a tool for reflecting on your day rather than as a basis for decisions. We're still refining calculations like the Manseryeok (traditional Korean fortune calendar), so if anything looks off, letting us know via Contact Us would be a huge help.
What is the 60-day cycle reflection?
In the traditional 60 Ganji system, the same cycle repeats every 60 days. When a cycle comes back around, you can compare notes with your past self — like "60 days ago on this same day, this is how I was feeling."
How do I use the Daily Card?
Once a day, press and hold to draw your own card. It reveals a motivational message tuned to the flow of your day.
What is the Monthly Report?
It's an interactive report that looks back on a month of your emotions. It highlights things like your most-felt emotion and your best day in a card format, and you can save it as an image to share on social media.

Points & Ads

Do I have to watch ads?
No. Ads are entirely optional. All core features are free to use — ads are only there if you want them, for things like (1) earning points or (2) bumping your photo limit from 3 to 5.
How do I earn points (P), and what can I spend them on?
You can earn points through streak rewards or by watching ads. Points can be exchanged for in-app items like sticker packs.
What is a streak?
Write a diary entry every day and your streak grows. You'll earn rewards (100P–200P) through day 7. Missed a day? You can restore your streak with a Streak Freeze.

Payments & Stickers

Is Fortune Diary a paid app?
It's free at its core. All journaling features are free to use — sticker packs are the only optional purchase.
How do I buy sticker packs?
Emotion sticker packs themed around the 12 zodiac animals can be purchased via your phone's app store, or unlocked with the points you've saved up.

Notifications & Settings

What notifications will I get?
We send a diary reminder notification to help you keep up with your journaling. You can turn it on or off in Settings.

Account & Privacy

Are my diary entries safe?
Yes. Your data is never shared with third parties and is encrypted in transit.
I want to delete my data.
You can request data deletion. For details, please see our Privacy Policy or reach out via Contact Us.
Where can I find the Privacy Policy?
You can find it at nasapagym.com or fortunediary.co.kr.

Community & Compatibility

What is the type-based community?
Much like MBTI, it's a community where you share your day with people of the same type — one of 60 types based on the 60 Ganji. Connect through posts, comments, and likes, and compare emotional stats with users who share your type.
Can I add my partner or family members?
Yes. You can add up to 5 people — partners, family, friends, and more. Analyze and compare the energy balance between the two of you, and check in on how their day is going.
