## What is The Dad Journal?

Being a modern man is already a challenge. Then one day, everything shifts. Yesterday you were a friend, a colleague, a partner, a professional with your own hobbies. The next day - you're a dad.

Fatherhood is the biggest change a man can go through. The Dad Journal is a daily journal and fatherhood diary that helps you capture it, reflect on it, and grow with it. It's not just about your kid, and it's not just about you - it's about both of you. Growing together. Learning from each other. Finding energy in the chaos of this crazy world.

With The Dad Journal, every new dad - or seasoned father - can:

- Reflect on your mornings and evenings: How did you feel? Stressed, excited, or somewhere in between?
- Capture your days in this dad diary - one line at a time or in long reads, your choice.
- Save your kid's milestones by age - it'll be pure fun to read back together later.
- Craft your own fatherhood story - for yourself, and for your kids to know the real you.
- Keep the important moments safe (because otherwise, you will forget).
- Read fatherhood wisdoms from other dads - get inspired when you need it.
- Unlock one fun fact a day about your hobbies - because being a dad doesn't mean giving up what makes you, you.
- Export all your content directly to Markdown.

Is the app free to use?
Yes. The app is fully functional in free mode. This parenting journal lets you create unlimited records and use all core features, with up to 5 photo uploads included. Once you reach that limit, you can unlock unlimited media uploads by choosing a plan.

For dads, by a dad. Handcrafted in Amsterdam.
