Simple but effective
Every app from this developer is high-quality, does one thing and does it very well
Journelly
Does what it promises to do, and does it well. Integrates nicely (I use iCloud) with org mode in Emacs on my laptop.
Fast, sustainable notes
Journelly enables me to quickly take notes when away from the computer. I especially like how fast it is to incorporate images. The iCloud setup is easy, which means that getting Journelly notes into my org-roam db and refining them later is a breeze.
Features that I hope will be added in the future are:
- LaTex math support
- tables
- org-agenda

A first rate input device for iOS
The iCloud Sync works great. Simply have your note taking application open to the iCloud document.
Simple way to capture phone thoughts.
If you’re looking for a simple app to capture images, todos and thoughts on your phone, this is a decent option. Its superpower is that it generates a plaintext (org mode or markdown) file that can be synced to your computer via iCloud. This app solves two big pain points of a plaintext productivity system: mobile, and images. Unlike most (all) other similar apps, this handles images super gracefully, and it looks great on mobile. If you’re an org mode fanatic in a museum, for example, this is the app you need. Similarly, if you live in markdown and are looking for a “jot it down and assess it later” app, and also want to keep a food journal, or track the growth of a houseplant, or the books you need plus photos of where they are in the stacks, this would do the job. The only thing it can’t do is push you reminders about upcoming todos—which, to be fair, is not something in its design scope.

I use it daily
Great simple app, I use it all the time in conjunction with Working Copy to sync with my org files across devices. I make lists, fleeting notes, and journal entries quickly and easily from my phone. Quick and easy to access edit and review. It’s minimal and uncluttered and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks!

Best App I’ve used for quick friction free journaling
I find this app very useful for reminding me the work I’ve done the day before.
When the imposter syndrome kicks I take a quick look. It also help that writing in journelly is quick, and intentional given the word count limit per note.

Tolle, schlanke Journaling-App
Die App ist perfekt geeignet, um schnelle Gedanken aufzuschreiben oder Momente festzuhalten. Das an Social Media angelehnte Design ist übersichtlich und liest sich auch im Nachhinein gut. Die Cloud-Synchronisation funktioniert sehr gut und man hat die Möglichkeit, die Datei im org-Format zu editieren. Für mich den Preis (Einmalzahlung!) definitiv wert.

Markdown support and writing
Perhaps I approached this app the wrong way. I wanted a markdown app that would write journal and notes entries to iCloud folders or wherever I set the storage to. This app will not do basic markdown formatting. It seems to me it should support some of the markdown formatting like headers. At this point it’s not an app I could use daily even for quick updates since I can’t format the text at all.

i like the app
yeah i like it. thank you.
Best app on my phone
This is an incredible app: simple note taking that syncs to my laptop over iCloud without a subscription.
A gem of an app
You don’t get many apps like this: it’s clearly crafted with love, care, competence, and attention to detail. Absolute delight to use.
Easy to use and well designed
Besides the peace of mind the app provides by storing my data in plain-text it is also a delight to use due to the well designed user experience.
The best and simplest way to integrate notes on my phone with Emacs
I've used Beorg but it's too slow and clunjy for quick notes and thought. Journelly is just what I've been looking for. I can't wait to see how it continues to evolve.
please!
Would really like it if the app allowed to upload videos, gifs, or reels of some sort as posts too!
Happy Journelly user
Works great. And I love that it’s org-mode behind the scenes.
Unusable when using Dropbox
Not sure about the experience when using iCloud but with Dropbox everything leads to conflicting files being saved. It’s unusable!
Thanks for the great experience!
Works great and with no lock in it’s so easy to keep my files local and back them up on my own.
Great org mode experience on mobile.

Excellent note taking app
I happened to stumble upon this after using the wonderful Org Plain app and a few Reddit posts and I’m glad I did. Journelly lets me utilize syncing between devices and capturing thoughts on the go, including checklists, lists, photos and more. The fact that it’s also stored in org markup is fantastic; I can easily put this into my workflow for further refinement later if I choose. It would be great if we could add headlines to give emphasis inside of a journal entry, but other than that I’m super happy and am already thinking of ways to incorporate this into my workflow. One that popped into my head while I’m writing this is tagging posts with #public, and then automating posting those posts to social media potentially, while keeping the rest for my eyes only. Or tagging it with a #filename and having it write to my denote file that contains the same name
