Perfect for daily reflection

I love this app! I’ve been a consistent journal person for years and this app helps me check in every day rather than only doing long journal entries when big things happen. That means the small stuff gets love too. This is literally the only app I allow notifications for; it’s consistent, but not annoying, it just prompts me and doesn’t nag. The interface is easy and seamless.

Thanks for the kind words. It's an honor to be the only app you allow notifications for!

A Daily Habit Easy to Keep

Love this app! It’s such a simple way to capture a little snapshot of each day without feeling like I need to sit down and write a full journal entry. It only takes a minute, and I love the idea of being able to look back on all the small moments I probably would have forgotten otherwise.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear the app is simple for you to use!

Lost memories

The upgrade looks nice but I’m very sad I seem to have lost all my memories from the past 9 years!!

Response from developer

Thanks for 9 years with the app. Oh no, but don't worry, your memories aren't lost: 2.0 needs to bring them over from your account once, and that step can be easy to miss. Please email me at ivan@thelittlememory.com and I'll help get it sorted out.

5 star journal

Get this little memory. It’s true Minimalism. It’s like micro-journaling (©️2025 by me sl1200mkII haha) Just jot down your thoughts on the day. Wind down. As you write more and more it’s able to show you what you talk about the most or whom and about how well you feel about that person place or thing. It’s minimal with great analytics to get you focused on the main part-journaling. You can see other entries from a week month year or 5. Just keep writing and you can scroll through to see what you wrote this time last year. 💯 percent get it. Micro-journal at its best. Quick. Easy. Distraction free. You can even add pictures (though to add more you have to purchase it but it’s worth it). Trust me I love this app. ****SO BAD NOW SEPTEMBER 2026**** for some reason they decided to update and change the way the app looks, feels and runs. Before you could upload a picture. Now you have to pay. I brought all my data over from the old style (bc otherwise I wouldn’t see my memories) and it’s just a bad update. I told all my friends and family how great this was. Had it for 10 years. Now, I’m looking for a new minimal simple app. They changed it and it’s nothing like before. So sad.

Response from developer

Thanks for 10 years with the app, and my apologies for how abrupt the 2.0 change was. I can relate to how new designs can be jarring, especially for long-time users like you. I'd like to help with the photos, so please email me at ivan@thelittlememory.com when you get a chance.

Journaling on the run!

I love the clean, simple design. No pushy ads, no up-sells. Just a basic, straight forward app for once! I love when I see what old memories come up, where I was on the same date years ago. Thanks for making this lovely tool for me to document my life!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words. I've tried to keep the app simple on purpose, so I'm glad that comes through. Seeing what came up on the same date years ago is my favorite part of it too.
