Journal Mate vs Ideas Down Quickly

Plan your days. Keep what matters. Journal Mate is a daily planner and a media library in one app: plan your days and projects, and keep the scans, photos, PDFs, and recordings that go with them in journals. Simple from the first entry, quick to use, and yours to shape: get a thought down in seconds, arrange the day your way, pick a theme, List colors, and text size, and undo what you didn't mean. PLAN YOUR DAYS • Add as many entries as you like: tasks, events, notes, and moods, day by day • Switch to Timeline to see your day hour by hour, and drag an entry to a new time • Break a big task into steps, mark what's important, and postpone the rest • Run projects and things that don't need a date in Lists, such as a trip, a home renovation, or groceries • Write a time in an entry and it becomes a reminder that rings again if you miss it; pick one of 14 sounds or your own • Pin the Lists, journals, and entries you need most to the top • Look back with Week Review: what you got done, and what keeps slipping TODAY, WHEREVER YOU ARE • Keep today on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and add entries right from there • Tick off today's actions in the Today's Entries widget, keep a List on your Home Screen, and start a scan or a new entry from Action Widgets • Take your day to Apple Watch: check entries off or move them, add new ones by dictation, and see what's left on a complication • Add entries with Siri or from Control Center, and see today's open actions on the app icon KEEP WHAT BELONGS TO THE DAY • Attach a photo, scan, or recording to an entry, and it becomes a page in a journal • Add the place you're at to an entry, with the day's weather • Add a journal as a task with a reminder, like renewing a passport • Take photos, scan pages, and film videos in one camera: in slow motion, with both cameras at once, or with a teleprompter • Scan objects in 3D on iPhone and iPad with LiDAR, or scan a QR code to keep its link • Import photos, screenshots, GIFs, videos, Live Photos, and PDFs; imported PDFs keep their original file • Record audio with a live on-device transcript, trim the pauses, and get a summary (Apple Intelligence) • Save websites, videos, and places as bookmarks FIND IT AGAIN • Keep related pages in Stacks, and group, pin, or archive journals • Search everything at once, and find journals and entries in Spotlight • Ask questions about your journals and get answers that link to their pages (Apple Intelligence, on supported devices) MAKE SOMETHING WITH IT • Make collages from different journals, turn a favorite quote into a card, and watermark a copy before you share it • Edit photos, GIFs, and videos: Adjust, 18 filters, crop, blur details, draw, and add text, emoji, or stickers • Sign PDFs with a saved signature, and write notes with headings and checklists • Create PDFs from pages, journals, or days and Lists, print them, and export a restorable backup • Listen to text pages with Read Aloud, or translate them • Save content from any app with the Share Extension GALLERY Page through facsimiles of artists' sketchbooks, travel journals, and even the Apollo 11 flight plan.
