Boo! A Year of Questions
One question a day. Same day next year.
Boo asks you one good question every day. A year later the same question comes back, and you write under what you said last time.
Boo's lighthouse, its beam turning slowly over a calm sea. In front of it a notebook page in Boo: today's question, last year's answer above, today's answer being written, and an empty line for next year.
How it works
Three steps. Then just tomorrow.
- 01
Pick how deep.
Five depths, from Light to Deep sea. Boo mixes your 366 questions to match, with the odd surprise.
- 02
Write today's page.
A word or a page, whatever fits. Nobody reads it unless you write in a group.
- 03
Come back next year.
Same day, same question. Your old answer waits right above the new one.
A notebook that grows
Thicker in year one. Fuller every year after.
In the first year your notebook gets thicker, page by page. After that it keeps getting fuller: every year you write under the last one, and each year earns a gold stamp on the cover.
What are you quietly proud of right now?
Your shelf
All your notebooks, side by side.
- Your journal. One question a day, just for you.
- Group notebooks. Same question for everyone, a page that fills with all your answers.
- Seasonal notebooks. Short, special books like the Rauhnächte. Find them in Boo's bookshop.
- Look back calmly. A calendar of the whole book, your whole history, and every page one tap away.
Free · Dec 25 to Jan 5
Twelve nights to close the year.
Between Christmas and Epiphany, Boo gives you one theme a night: roots, joy, strength, love, courage and more. You look back first, then ahead. One page each evening, with a few gentle prompts.
- NIGHT 1–7Look back at the year that is ending.
- NEW YEARWrite your wishes. Boo seals them for a year.
- NIGHT 8–12Look ahead at the year that is coming.
- NEXT WINTERThe notebook opens again, and your wishes come back on Jan 1.
Your depth, your call
How deep do you want to go?
Medium
Your notebook is mixed toward the depth you choose. A light one still has the odd deeper question, and a deep one has some lighter days.
What are you quietly proud of right now?
A group notebook page: three friends answered with speech bubbles and a sticker, one friend is still thinking.
Groups
Answer first. Then peek.
Start a group of up to five and everyone gets the same question each day. Your friends' answers open once you have written yours.
Stick a little feeling on the answers that got you. That is the whole social part.

FAQ
Good questions.
Is Boo free?
Yes. Boo is free on the iPhone, including your journal, groups and the Rauhnächte notebook.
What happens after 366 days?
Your notebook starts its second year. The same question comes back on the same day, and you write under last year's answer. Your notebook keeps growing for as long as you write.
Who can see my answers?
Your personal answers are visible only to you. Group answers are visible only to the members of that group, once they have answered that day themselves.
Do I need a password?
No. You sign in with a 6-digit code that Boo sends to your email.
Which languages?
The app is in English and German — you switch it under Me, App language. The 366 journal questions are still English for now; the twelve Rauhnächte nights are in German too.
Do I need a group?
No. Boo works fine on your own. You can start or join a group whenever you like.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Boo is for iPhone for now.
How old do I need to be?
Boo is for people aged 16 and over.
