## What is Micro Journal?

Micro Journal is a private daily journal for people who will not keep a long one. Write one sentence or a full page, mark how the day felt, and find it again later.

Nothing leaves your device. There is no account, no social feed, no ads, and no behavioral analytics.

WRITE TODAY IN UNDER A MINUTE

Open the app and the page for today is already waiting. Start from a blank page or a writing prompt. Your entry saves itself as you type, when you leave the editor, and when you background the app.

ADD AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT

Mark the day bright, good, even, low, or hard. Add themes such as Family, Rest, Work, Health, or Growth. Both are optional, and an entry is complete without them.

FIND ANY DAY AGAIN

Browse the calendar, search the full journal, filter by mood or theme, favorite the entries that matter, and write for a past day you missed.

NO STREAKS, NO SCORES, NO GUILT

Micro Journal never counts the days you skipped. The daily reminder is a gentle one, and you can turn it off.

THE FREE JOURNAL HAS NO ENTRY LIMIT

Writing, back-dated entries, moods, themes, the calendar, search, favorites, light and dark appearance, and sharing a single entry are free forever.

MICRO JOURNAL PLUS

Plus adds weekly summaries and week-over-week comparisons, mood and theme counts, your most active writing days, entries from this day in past years, the complete prompt library, more app colors, and full-journal exports as plain text or Markdown.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Journal entries live in on-device storage, and every insight is calculated on your device. Micro Journal has no journal server and never uploads what you write. You can lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, back up to a JSON file you control, and erase everything from inside the app.

Micro Journal Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription: $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.2 — 2026-09-04

Two fixes.

The days-this-month card compared part of this month against all of last month, so early in the month it could report you were behind even when you had not missed a day. It now compares the same span of both months.

On the About & Privacy screen in the light appearance, the clock, signal and battery along the top of the screen were washed out. They are legible again.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-09-03

Move an entry to the day it is actually about.

Wrote Tuesday's entry on Wednesday? Tap the date at the top of an entry and pick the right day.

The week strip on the home screen is now tappable, so any of the last seven days is one tap away. The keyboard can be swiped away while writing, and the month heading in the calendar takes you back to today.

The writing prompts have been rewritten, and the app is quieter when your journal is still empty.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-06

Fixes an issue that prevented Micro Journal Plus options from loading. If the store is temporarily unreachable, the Plus screen now explains what happened and offers a retry instead of waiting indefinitely.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-30

Bug fixes and improved stability

### 1.0 — 2026-07-22

No release notes.
