Finally am able to journal every day
I felt compelled to write this review as I was looking and the app doesn’t have too many recent good reviews. I can’t understand why not!
I have always wanted to do a daily journal but have either found it too difficult to think of what to write, or thought of it as yet another “to do” that loomed over me which I would generally avoid doing. I have ADHD and suffer from depression and anxiety, all of which would be improved by journaling, but also make it more difficult to do!
The reasons I think this app is perfect for me are:
- I do not feel the need to fill in all the grids, one is enough to satisfy my “daily input” so it doesn’t feel like a big chore
- having prompts gives me a starting point to jump into writing. I often find that it is much easier to move into introspection from here.
- I love that you can change to prompts to something more relevant for yourself
- you can add photos and images (this is very good for me as I take so many photos)
- the text formatting options are quick and convenient to use
- you can view the entries in a few different ways, for example on a timeline, from a calendar
-it’s simple and clean visually, not distracting
I should note I am using the free version and am finding it perfect for my needs. I am not entirely sure what additional functionality you get with a paid subscription, but I would definitely consider it if that were made more clear.
I have recommended this app to several people in my life, and feel very happy to write a positive review.

Good update
Enjoyed the classic version and now think the update is an improvement. Not sure I understand the purpose of what use I can make of something called Tags but I only use one journal with only one template so probably not relevant. The one thing that would be better for me is to see the working page make more effective use of what looks like a lot of space. I prefer to see all my journal entries on one page but each grid cuts off the information after 5 lines. The information is still there of course but just doesn’t show in that view but the amount of what looks like unused available space is a bit frustrating. Update After A Few Months Still liking the app but will follow with interest the paid version as the pricing at $19 annually seems considerably higher than what’s generally found with other apps. Another Update They took away the painful subscription marketing that preceded access to our data. It was just way too much when compared to other apps and is now simply easily found within the app instead of force feeding the user. Given the comparatively very high pricing I’m a bit doubtful there’ll be many takers though.

Response from developer
Hello! Thank you so much for your support and awesome suggestions! We will definitely improve the user experience in future updates!
Incredible app
Syncs well. Hoping for a web interface so I can update while at work. Love the app and has really helped me. Love the grid format and ability to go through my day in organized manner. Suggestion: like to update/edit existing templates instead of having to recreate template. Overall, absolutely love this app and the peace it’s offered. I’m a subscriber!
