User reviews

Gorgeous and Unique Journal

Have really enjoyed using this app so far. Love the sleek and minimal interface. Easy and intuitive to use, like that it doesn’t ask me anything and just lets me get to writing—great when I want to get something off my chest or jot it down quickly. Will definitely use this as a journaling app from now on. Appreciate the inherent privacy and how pretty it is compared to other journaling apps.

Type it go existence then let it go!

I love the idea behind this. I have been journaling for a while now, mostly to verbalize, structure and reflect on my thoughts so I never go back go actually re-read my entries. This is perfect for that! Type or speak it into existence, then recap it, then let it go. I plan on using this as a daily mental exercise.

Also - love the sleep design!
