## What is Emoji Journal?

Emoji Journal is a parts based, conversation style journaling app. This means that instead of being tied down to the old fashion "mono" style of journaling, you can now easily express yourself from the different perspectives that live within all of us.

How many times have you felt as if part of you wants to do or say one thing, while another part of you wants to do the complete opposite? Give voice to those thoughts, feelings and expressions as never before.

In addition to allowing for this dynamic form of journaling, Emoji Journal also allows you to customize those expressions visually by adding an image of any sort, as well as customizing the font, colors and more.

Useful for:
* Internal Family System (IFS)
* General parts work
* Meditation
* Exploring conflicting/differing thoughts and feelings
* Exercising the skill of listening to what you really think and feel
* Learning to respond to yourself kindly and empathetically

Key Features:
* Conversation style journaling
* Completely customizable message boxes
* Passcode option
* Over 10,000 emojis to choose from
* 50 handwriting fonts to choose from
* Use photos from your personal library as an avatar/emoji
* No data collection
* No Ads

UNLIMITED PROFILES

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2024-03-23*

I’m so grateful.  This app is taking my journey into journaling to a whole new dimension. I’d be thrilled to have this available for my MacBook and desktop. Thank you for making this amazing app so affordable.

### 5/5 — Excellent Journalling Application for Multiple Perspectives

*2024-01-05*

This is a great app to use to discuss concepts with yourself from multiple perspectives, for various different reasons, from IFS to DID, to just testing our how messages to others could look like. This is exactly what I had pictured when looking for an app regarding this stuff, and can’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Us

*2023-05-07*

Trying this new app, I have been looking for something just like this so I can explore my multiple parts, looking to learn how to accept and explore things on my own and also as a help in therapy. I’m now on my 2nd day of this app and finding it very useful. The only recommendation at this point would be to add mood tracker and an added feature where you can rate your own moods on a scale

### 5/5 — So helpful to explore different “parts” of the self

*2023-01-12*

I am so glad that I found this app! It is so useful to explore parts of the self and expand dialogue with parts. Initially it is challenging as awareness between parts hasn’t really been developed, but sticking with it is so rewarding. Highly recommended as an excellent therapeutic app!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2022-09-27*

Well designed; easy to use. Happy journaling!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-26*

Very convenient and fun app for journaling on my phone!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-09-25*

This app allows me to journal not only my thoughts, but also my feelings in a way that I have never done before with the Emoji Profiles.
