Leave a Review Everlog Journal
One of the best independent journaling applications I’ve seen.
This is literally hands-down one of the coolest applications out there for journaling. And I love how the developer absolutely cares about every little feature that goes into this. Unlike some of the larger ones that are out there. I’m not going to name names, but I’m sure people who have flocked to this app no exactly which one I’m talking about. i’m sure at some point I’ll end up switching fully, but who knows. I guess we’ll see.Show lessCambridgeport90

Thank you so much!One Notable Flaw, Otherwise Fantastic
I’ve explored the ins and outs of this app and it’s everything I want it to be (the lifetime premium gives me confidence in its longevity, that and the excellent UI gives it an upper hand) with one exception. After about 400 words in an entry on IOS, any further words I type are invisible. They show on the keypad for spellcheck but it appears to coincide with the scroll limit and black border whilst editing a specific entry. I would very much prefer to have a single entry for each day, so this limit is a considerable problem for me. Fix it to at the very least not allow typing past that point and I’ll be more content with it. If it could allow and display longer entries (preferably up to 2,000+ words), then I’d be very happy for that. (It’d be 5 star material imo)Show lessZenzencat104
Great journaling app with markdown and suggestion integration
I’ve used a few journaling apps and this is my new favorite. I’ve tried 5 minute journal and obsidian. Things I like.
- Markdown support. What you see is what you get.
- Templates, bookmarking, nested entries.
- Local saving. Everything stored locally or an sync using iCloud.
- Reflection - Shows an entry from this day a year ago.
- Metrics - Consistency in journaling.
- Simple interface.
- Support for multiple journals. I haven’t played with this yet.
Things I wish it had.
- More reflection options based on a fine-grained detail. For example, I created a morning reflection template with specific fields. It would be nice to see this section reflection. Another example, same template, I list a song that was inspirational for that day or things I’m grateful for today. Nice to have but not necessary.
Great journaling or other notetaking app.Show lessRedBar93
Love it
I like to take notes during the day as reminders or just jot down ideas. This app makes it so easy to do just that. And the fact that I can use it on my phone, iPad, laptop and desktop makes it even better. Dont have to be tied down to one place. Other apps have some of the same features, but this one makes you want to write.Show lessJo's Basement Studio
I love this app
To me, paying a monthly or annual fee for a journal just seems crazy. I really appreciate the fact that you can just buy this app, unlock everything and be done with it. The interface is pleasant, I appreciate all of the features it offers and to me, it’s everything you need for a great journaling experience. Buy a $30 Bluetooth keyboard with a slot for your phone or iPad and then boom, you’ve got a free write for less than $100. It’s also nice that you can sync between all of your devices. If I feel like just jotting something down on my phone while I’m out, I can. If I want to use my Mac, I can and if I want to use my Bluetooth keyboard and go sit in the sun to write, I can. It’s great! I can’t praise it enough. It saved me a lot of money and that’s something I always appreciate.Show lessA Yow

Thank you so much for your review! 🥰Great Journaling App
I'm a bit late to the party, since I've used Everlog for ages now and have never taken the time to review it, but I do really enjoy using it.
The markdown is great, new features are added often (none cause feature bloat), there are plenty of customization options, and different journals and tagging make for a great experience overall.
I've been oscillating between this and Stoic, but I definitely prefer Everlog's interface. I still use Stoic's guided journals and mood tracking, so I'm not certain whether I'll end up just using Everlog, but I do know that when I want to just write about my day, life, what I'm thinking, etc. , I'm choosing Everlog every time.Show lessSchemeViller
Exactly what I need
I’ve been digital journaling for over a decade, using various apps that held much promise but then fell short. This app not only is the simple and straightforward UI that I want in a daily tool, but it also did a great job importing all of my past notes. There are too many great features to mention, but one of the features I’ve been looking for since leaving DayOne is ‘On this Day’ - Everlog has done this perfectly!Show lessbrystonu
Good experience with caveats
This is the app I’ve been wanting. The basic experience is pretty good. Some things are about odd like requiring custom shortcuts for some markdown insertion and the syncing seems to glitch. The writing stats doesn’t seem to work either. All of that said I’ll keep using it because it does what I want. I hope the little issues get corrected.Show lessNichod
So simple and easy
I have really enjoyed this app. The layout is very simple and it’s easy to create new journal entries. It’s fun to look back at the days I have written throughout the month. It’s simple, yet elegant in a way and I think it’s perfect. I have never consistently stuck with writing journals and for once, this app helps me easily reflects on life. I can create word count goals and I simply turn on the microphone and talk so I don’t even have to type. It would be cool if there was an ability to create a printed out version of my journals throughout the year along with the pictures that I add.Show lessthebornloser
No encryption
I love this app, but there is one major issue that prevents me from using it. For something this personal where you would potentially put details of your life and some of your most intimate thoughts, feelings, or ideas there should be end-to-end encryption at a minimum. Especially, in today’s climate. Something you write now would be accessed and used later.
I would love to be able to use this app for what it’s intended for. It is a well designed app.Show lessJayjay434
