LogBooklet is a journal that notes the time and the place for you. Open a booklet, type a line, and send it. The entry keeps its date, its time, and where you were. Keep as many booklets as you like. One for work, one for meals, one for the trip, one for the thing you keep meaning to track. The list shows each booklet's latest entry and how many entries it holds. WRITE IT DOWN FAST - Type in the field at the bottom of a booklet and send with one tap. - Save what you log often as a snippet. A tap logs it, or inserts it into what you are typing if you prefer. A snippet can belong to one booklet or be offered in all of them. - Text you typed but did not send stays in that booklet as a draft and syncs to your other devices. SEE WHEN AND WHERE - Each entry records the date, the time, and your coordinates if you allow location access. - A booklet can show how long ago each entry was and how much time passed between two entries. - Search the entries of a booklet. - Change an entry later. Edit its text, its time, or its place on a map, or move it to another booklet. APPLE WATCH - Create a booklet, write an entry, or log a snippet from your wrist. - The watch app works without your iPhone. It saves offline and syncs through iCloud. - Put Quick Entry, Booklet Summary, or Log Snippet on your watch face or in the Smart Stack. - Double Tap sends an entry or logs a snippet on supported models, and a control fits the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra. - Start on the watch and finish on iPhone or iPad with Handoff. WIDGETS AND CONTROLS - Five widgets for iPhone and iPad. Quick Entry, Booklet Summary, Log Snippet, Booklets, and Recent Entries. Several come in Lock Screen sizes. - New Entry, Open Booklet, and Log Snippet for Control Center, the Lock Screen, and the iPhone Action button. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS - Say "Log in Food with LogBooklet" or "What is my last entry in Food in LogBooklet". - The Shortcuts app has an action for everything the app does. Log and edit entries, manage booklets and snippets, read and write drafts, export a booklet. Actions run without opening the app, so they work in automations. - Give a booklet a Siri name when its title is an emoji. SHARE SHEET - Save text and web links from other apps into a booklet without leaving the app you are in. YOUR DATA - Entries are stored on your device and sync between your devices through your private iCloud account. - No account, no purchases, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app uses Apple frameworks only and never connects to a server run by the developer. - Export any booklet as a Markdown file.
