## What is Journal & Diary?

After a heart-breaking breakup, I looked back and realized I had missed the small signs. If I had reflected on everyday life more actively, I might have noticed what was slowly building. That is why I created Memoiri: a private journal and diary for daily thoughts, moods, memories, and the moments that shape your life.

Memoiri is designed to feel calm, focused, and personal. Write a quick note, save a longer reflection, add photos, record voice memories, sketch an idea, or simply capture how the day felt. Your entries are grouped by day and time, so your story stays easy to browse.

Reflection is built into the experience. Track your mood with simple emojis, revisit past memories, search old entries, and notice patterns across days, weeks, and months.

With Memoiri, you can:

- Write daily journal and diary entries without distraction
- Save memories with text, photos, voice notes, and sketches
- Track mood and emotional patterns over time
- Search entries by words, dates, moods, places, people, and media
- Protect private thoughts with passcode and Face ID support
- Build a gentle journaling habit with Focus Sessions

Memoiri is not about writing perfectly. It is about noticing your life while you are living it.

Download Memoiri and start keeping a meaningful record of your days.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this!

*2025-07-24, version 1.6.8*

I came across your app on reddit a while back. It helped me work through a lot of my feelings of grief while mourning a close family member, and have continued to use and recommend it since.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-08-15, version 1.3.4*

It’s nice and simple.
I like it.
I do think it needs some touching up in terms of design if it’s going to be by go to daily journaling app.

### 3/5 — Good! Additional features would be great!

*2024-03-12*

I love the design of this app! It looks fantastic! I would give it 5 stars if handwritten notes were possible and if there was an easy way to look at the entries on a specific day. I just downloaded it but from what I understand, you’d need to scroll through to find entries which would become tedious after a while. Maybe a search function that allows you to check by dates or keywords? That would be super helpful as someone who struggles with recurrent episodes of amnesia (and amnesia of amnesia). But even if those weren’t implemented, this is still a brilliant app! I do like it! I think it has a lot of potential and the design is beautiful!

I’m not sure if this is an issue on my end, but I cannot get the text size settings to work. I can’t get the text size to change. I am visually impaired so this affects my experience a bit, especially with such thin text. But, still, very good app!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot :) i am working on improving that and adding a search feature :) My plan is to keep it as simple as possible so keywords/tags is something i plan to add but yet need to find a fulfilling way. Regarding customization it is part of memoiri+ subscription

### 5/5 — I love the app, nice and simple.

*2023-09-28*

The app has a really easy and simple concept. The emoji system is very satisfying and adds some extra reflecting to the journals. The streak system makes me want to journal every day. Very good app I recommend. Discovered this app on the r/writing Reddit.

**Developer response:** thanks a lot for your feedback!

### 3/5 — Almost 5-stars

*2023-06-19*

The app is lovely and simple. 
It needs image/photo import options to make it a 5-star app. 

Thanks.

**Developer response:** thanks a lot for the review! This has now been added to the version 1.3! Check it out!

### 5/5 — 5 stars!

*2023-06-05*

Clean, simple, and encouraging!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot! Appreciate the love!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-05-23*

Very simple and user friendly

**Developer response:** thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-04-16*

Only thing I would suggest adding is a Yes/No confirmation dialogue after tapping the “Clear” button. I’ve bumped it accidentally twice now deleting paragraphs of text with no way to undo. Other than that, this app is amazing!

**Developer response:** thanks a lot for your feedback! Will be added with the next update!

### 5/5 — The app i’ve been search for!

*2023-04-14*

In a sea of journaling apps, this one takes the cake.  Simple, easy, fun. I really like the design and straight to the point features. Thanks for developing this!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the positive review!

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2023-04-07*

Clean and simple functionality.

**Developer response:** thanks a lot for your review!
