❤️ the app

Love this app…I record everything on here. Day by day as it happens

Great App, Unfortunately

I downloaded this app years ago and was thrilled to find one so easy to use, organize, and aesthetically pleasing as this. It became a constant in my life to remain mindful and make connections. The unfortunate part is that it stopped updating years ago and it’s only a matter of time before it’s gone completely. In all that time I’ve never found any way to export or save the seven years of information. So as the days pass, it’s a painstaking task to copy/paste entry by entry into another platform.

more theme please

how about black + more darker colors?? i need it it nightmode!!

ALMOST my favorite app!!

I downloaded this app back in 2019 after trying maybe a dozen other apps first; but this one really nails a lot of things for me, like an easy to use UI that make seeing how my days went super easy, interests I can checkmark on each day I give attention, built-in questions to be even more mindful of my life, I could go on. However, the app went online for (I think) almost over a year, and it devastated me to lose 6 years worth of my journal entries. I’m more than happy now that it’s back, and I’d absolutely keep writing in it now if it weren’t for a few factors:

Namely, the app doesn’t get updated anymore as far as I can tell, so the new features you can vote on to have added (or even donate for) will likely never come. The developers haven’t updated anything on the official social media since coming back this year, which worries me that the app might go offline again; maybe for good next time. And lastly, there may not be enough other people downloading the app for the developers to justify continued effort on this app, even if I personally love it. If anything, I’d gladly pay a one time fee if it meant the app gets continued support, but I’m not sure there’s enough people like me out there.

In essence; great app. I love it. I wish it got more updates and community engagement/support so I can sleep knowing that my years of entries won’t be missing the next morning.
