The journal I always wanted πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

I have been using Opal (previously murmur) for over 6 months, through one of the hardest transitions of my life and have found it extremely useful. You can have multiple journals, I have 1 for therapy, 1 for manifesting, and 1 for my journey. I appreciate the optional ai feedback that can show my patterns and cognitive distortions. The guided prompts are helpful and engaging, 1 used the 10 day Shadow work guide for a deep dive, and I regularly use the visualize it feature for focusing on desired outcomes. And I love the burn it page, there is something so satisfying about watching the page burn away. Perfect for releasing things and carrying secret wishes.
I adore the cute creepy weird aesthetic. Please never change.
The developer is kind, responsive, and creating some amazing new features that I can’t wait to see. Thanks Darby πŸ–€

I finally found the one!

I’ve tried so many journal apps and Murmur is amazing. The prompts are inspiring and keep me engaged with writing. The guides are thorough and help me dive deeper. The insights are great and I love the visualization tool and the burn it page. I look forward to working through more of the guides.

The Best App for Personal Growth

I definitely would recommend this app to anyone looking to write all their thoughts down. I personally find the functions in the app to not only be helpful but also motivating. To be able to have an app that’s easy to navigate and to also push you to share your inner thoughts with yourself is hard to find. I find that if you download this app it will literally make your life better instantly because you are no longer just having a journal you are having a personalized Biopic for yourself. Highly recommend to anyone. One of the best apps on the iOS Store.

Just beautifully made

Love every single aspect of This app would love to be able to have a calendar and date my own entries. But I love the app overall.

Hi there! Wow this fills my cup and I'm so happy you're getting good use out of Opal! I love this suggestion! So if you tap the moon on the home screen, you can get a calendar of the days journaled (your moons that you've collected). I'll add a way to edit the date, and view the entries from the calendar. Thank you so much for the feedback! If you had any more thoughts or suggestions around the calendar feature (or anything else), I'd love to hear them! The discord community is great place to connect and share (find it in home - profile icon - under "Grow with Us"), or you can always reach me via email! Happy journaling! ;D Warmly, Darby

Murmur is a beautiful and well designed app!

Murmur has such a unique set style, it is an app like no other. Murmur is all about helping you examine your life and grow. It’s also completely free! I would highly recommend if you are interested in going on a journey of self growth.

Amazing App for Therapy

I have been using this for awhile now. Over time if you choose to use the AI part of the app it makes therapeutic suggestions that are simply amazing and for me life changing. I got life changing useful suggestions and insights from an app! All while having 100% privacy, important to me. Once I set up my journal and got in the habit of entering, my journal started to life coach me. I highly recommend this app. Murmur is amazing!
