A simple, flexible and private diary. Keeping a journal helps in many ways. You can be more aware of your feelings and thoughts, keep track of your mood, dreams or experiences. Many influencing people love keeping a diary since it helps in so many ways! -- “People who keep journals have life twice.” -- Jessamyn West We've made this app as simple to use as possible. Everything is easy to discover and we'll guide you through the most advanced features. Our users love a simple and polished experience and that's what we give them. -- “In the journal I am at ease.” -- Anais Nin We give you all the flexibility you need. We won't tie you to any strict structure or force you to track anything you don't care about. You can add entries to the diary, like a mindfulness session or an area to list reasons for gratitude. You may even configure the diary as a travel journal or a dreams journal! That's easy to setup too: the only limit is your imagination. -- “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” -- Anne Frank Your diary should be as private as you want. We do not upload your data anywhere, we don't track you and we value your privacy. And you get even more: we included a system to lock the app, so that no intruder can see your diary without your consent. Your diary is yours, private and secure. -- “Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.” -- Natalie Goldberg You are using an advanced device, so we're providing advanced and easy to use features. Like a cute mood tracking system. Or a way to import pictures in your journal. But also a calendar to navigate your memories... You can feel at ease, with a simple and familiar diary in your hands but also feel the power of the new tech you are using. We hope you will enjoy the balance. -- “I don’t journal to ‘be productive.’ I don’t do it to find great ideas or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren’t intended for anyone but me. It’s the most cost-effective therapy I’ve ever found.” -- Tim Ferriss Download and try it, you will not regret it! --- Terms Of Service for the subscription: To unlock the app you may need to subscribe to the service.
