LogBooklet is a journal that notes the time and the place for you. Open a booklet, write a line or add a photo, a video, or a voice recording, and send it. The entry keeps its date, its time, and where you were. Keep as many booklets as you like: one for a trip, one for walks with the dog, one for the garden, one for the thing you keep meaning to track. The list shows each booklet's latest entry, when it was, 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. - Take a photo or video or choose one from your library, add a caption if you like, and send it. What you take in LogBooklet is also saved to the Photos app, which you can turn off. - Record a voice note with pause and resume, and play it back on any of your devices. - Log where you are as an entry of its own, shown on a map in the booklet. - 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 its last entry was and how much time passed between two entries. - Search the entries of a booklet. - Change an entry later. Edit its text, its photo, video, or recording, its time, or its place on a map, or move it to another booklet. Touch and hold an entry to copy, edit, or delete it. APPLE WATCH - Create a booklet, write an entry, log a snippet, record audio, or log where you are from your wrist, and see your photos and play videos and recordings there. - 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, including logging a photo, video, recording, or location, and exporting. 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, web links, photos, and videos 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. Photos, videos, and recordings stay in your iCloud and download to a device only when you open them. - 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 a booklet as a Markdown file to read or a JSON file for your own scripts. A booklet with photos, videos, or recordings comes as a folder with its files, and Settings exports every booklet at once in one ZIP archive.
