Quiet Journal is a note app that keeps everything you write diaries, memos, journals, travel logs safely backed up in the cloud. The note apps I'd used for years started charging more than I could justify. I wanted something fairly priced that I could keep using for years a place to record my life and my notes without worrying about the cost. So I built one, for my own writing first. Diary entries, quick memos, travel logs, notes with photos, and past days revisited on a calendar. Write however you like.
