Journaling just got easier and more natural. In her essay On Keeping a Notebook, Joan Didion reflects on how journals preserve the small moments and fleeting thoughts that later become rich memories. Voice Journal makes capturing those moments effortless. With quick access from your locked phone through the Action Button, you can instantly record ideas, observations, or memories the moment they come to mind. Simply speak, and your thoughts are saved—no typing required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: vJournal at none against Motes's 1. Motes's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
