User reviews

Simple but powerful

This is the type of app you try because it’s easy and fun to get started but you don’t realize how powerful it is. The secret is in how it helps build a healthy habit that lets you become more in touch with yourself over time. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Very functional app

Never been really into journaling but this app has made the process easy to start! Would recommend to beginner or even experienced individuals!

First Time Journaler

I had always been wanting to get into journaling but I truly was unable to stay consistent before Meridian. It makes it so so easy to journal and keeps my story aligned

Never got into journaling but this is great!

One of the most unique and rewarding ways to journal

I never really got into journaling before, but Meridian actually made it feel easy and kind of fun. I like that every note turns into a star in your galaxy, so it feels like you’re slowly building something while keeping track of your thoughts. It helped me realize how nice it is to look back on old notes and see what was on my mind at different points in time.

FAQ

What is Meridian's core concept?

Meridian transforms your journal entries into a personal galaxy. Each entry creates stars and constellations representing people, places, plans, and goals, allowing you to visualize your life's story.

Can I use Meridian offline?

The app description does not specify offline functionality. However, voice transcription is done on-device, suggesting some features may work without an internet connection.

How does Meridian's app locking feature work?

Meridian uses iOS Screen Time API to lock distracting apps like Instagram or TikTok during your chosen wind-down time. You can unlock them by writing in your journal or by spending earned Stardust.

What are the benefits of using Meridian for journaling?

Research suggests expressive writing, as facilitated by Meridian, can lead to lower stress, better sleep, and greater resilience. The app is designed to make journaling a habit you'll return to by showing tangible progress.

How does Meridian handle privacy with friends?

When you choose to share an entry, it is end-to-end encrypted and locked to the recipients before leaving your phone. Meridian itself cannot read shared entries, and streaks/feeds only show your activity, not content.

What is the difference between Meridian and Meridian Pro?

Meridian is free and offers core journaling features. Meridian Pro is a subscription that adds personalized AI writing prompts, all star palettes, constellation styles, and skies.
