Great app, but no way to edit

Great app, would be nice if there was the ability to edit the content and time of past messages. Also having issues with dark mode - the app resets to light mode every time I open it, even if the toggle in settings is set to dark mode.

Love it but

I really like it because it invites me to write without some many distractions that lots of apps have, but would love it to have edit function. Right now I have to delete the note and rewrite it if there's a typo or something I forgot to write and it's not very convenient.

Perfect minimal journal!

I’ve never been interested in all the scrapbooky side of journaling. As I start to get more into journaling, what I wanted was a simple, elegant, minimal, open and go, no frills journal app. This app delivers just that plus a few handy tools (like the hashtags to organise ideas and the discrete feature is great too) It’s a joy to use! I look forward to many more brain dumpy stream of conscience entries in the future!
(Ps. Feature idea: It would be fun to be able to keep the journal synced between multiple devices, although I understand that means dealing with accounts and I totally get if you don’t want to do that)

Great Daily Journaling App.

I love this app. It’s so streamlined and pretty. I like having a constant flow of entries, and not breaking everything up into individual notes. Great idea. I will absolutely continue to use. Some features that I would love to see added are: A per-entry word count. Basic formatting (italics, and bold) The ability to search by date. That’s really it. Highly recommend this app. Cheers

onetime payment preferred

很方便使用,不过既然是离线应用,能否有一次买断的选项呢?

Fav micro journaling tool

Best minimal writing app

This app is pure perfection. Open and type thoughts with no distractions, no need to enter titles or navigate somewhere. By the time I open another app and get to writing, I’ll have forgotten what I was going to write. This app makes it so easy to write thoughts down more often.

My only request is to display photos in discreet mode as gray blocks. I haven’t purchased the subscription because the preview shows a sunset photo as a bright blurred orange square and I’d find that incredibly distracting to the otherwise elegant mostly monochromatic design of the app.

Also, looking forward to the edit feature! Would love to correct small typos or add a tag to a previous thought.

One suggestion is the ability to reply to previous thoughts. “Hindsight” or “reflection” essentially. Editing previous thoughts to add tags somewhat resolves this but replying to your own thoughts would be awesome for retrospectives!

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5 stars! Will definitely looking to add the edit feature. Also thank you for the idea for replying to previous thoughts, I was thinking about nested threads vs quoting previous logs. Definitely prefer the linear nature of the latter.

I love this app but…

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years and it’s the only app that really invites me to write with no distractions. However I’m missing that you can choose the date and time for an entry. I have texts all over the place, sometimes I want to add something it happened a couple of days ago and I would like to have it in the right place. Please look into changing this and I’ll give 5 stars 💛

Awesome!!

Such a great app, just perfect. Have been using for months now. It’s the only journal I stick with.

能不能加一个编辑的功能

有时候打错一个字,或者少打一句话,编辑功能会很实用!不然每次都要删掉上一句话,重新发一次,真的很麻烦!
