Need a place to write down all your thoughts, ideas, and reflections? Meet Scribble - a bullet journal designed for creating short, concise entries. Scribble is perfect for people who wish to record their thoughts, but don’t have the time to sit down and write a long journal entry. Use Scribble whenever you have a thought that’s worth remembering and categorize it into a relevant journal/tag to easily find it later. One of the benefits of microjournaling over traditional journaling methods is that by writing down your thoughts in the moment, you get a more accurate picture of your thought process throughout the day. FEATURES: CATEGORIZE YOUR ENTRIES INTO JOURNALS You can assign each entry to a specific journal/topic. This will color code your entries to the journal’s corresponding color and make your entries easier to organize. (i.e. Ideas, Goals, Insights, Dreams) ADD TAGS TO FURTHER ORGANIZE YOUR ENTRIES You can also assign multiple tags to each entry to help further categorize each entry. This can be helpful if you wish to have subcategories in each journal. FAVORITE ENTRIES Add a heart next to your most important entries to help highlight them for easy access later. VIEW ENTRIES FROM ANY DATE Jump to a specific date to see all your entries at different points in time. QUICKLY FILTER YOUR ENTRIES You can quickly filter your entries by any combination of journals, tags, and more. Tap on any label to add that filter, and only see entries matching those filters LOCK WITH TOUCH/FACEID Keep your entries private by locking your journal with Touch/FaceId. You are still able to create new entries while your journal is locked to help make using Scribble as quick and easy as possible. SCHEDULE REMINDERS FOR YOUR ENTRIES Add a reminder to any entry and schedule a push notification for a specific time. Visit the Reminders screen to see all entries with a reminder, and mark them as complete when necessary. **Note from developer: Thanks for being one of the first users of Scribble!
