iglu ∙ micro journaling vs day.txt

iglu is the new and better way to journal: micro-journaling. Record your life as it happens and come back to revisit with our smart feed and semantic search. And most importantly, without sacrificing your privacy. Building a journaling habit has never been this easy! MICRO-JOURNALING Forget sitting down and writing everything at once — that’s boring. Instead, write short entries (like tweets) on the go, as you move through your day. Micro-journaling makes both writing and exploring a breeze! THREADS Fully express your most intricate chain of thought by making threads with your entries. You can write as many nested entries as you want, and they will always be linked together. RECOMMENDATIONS Rediscover your older entries with iglu’s recommendations, selected by on-device AI based on what you’ve been writing recently. It’s a fun way to explore and get insights into yourself. SEMANTIC SEARCH Looking for an entry but don’t remember the exact words you wrote? Don’t worry, iglu’s semantic search engine gets the general idea of what you’re looking for and shows you the most relevant entries. WRITE SHORTCUT A new entry is always one tap away with iglu’s shortcut. Use it from the Action button, Lock Screen (as a control and as a widget), and Control Center. Say goodbye to friction! ACTIVITY WIDGET Keep track of your writing activity with the activity widget. It shows how much you’ve written in the past few weeks using a beautiful ‘heat map’ design, right on your Home Screen. FACE ID Lock iglu with Face ID to make sure no one snoops around your personal space. JOURNALING REMINDERS Get reminded to take a few seconds to journal every now and then. You can get reminders randomly throughout the day or choose specific times you prefer. PRIVACY Your journal is stored on your device.

A text canvas for every day. Simple like a text file. A little more capable. day.txt gives each day its own page for plans, ideas, meeting notes, lists and whatever needs writing down. Open it and start typing. There is no layout to build and no folder structure to maintain. Your text, on your devices Notes are saved locally and sync through your private iCloud account across Mac, iPhone and iPad. No separate day.txt account is required, and your notes are not sent to a day.txt server. Keep writing, searching and reading local history offline; pending changes can sync when you reconnect. No ads or third-party analytics. A page for today and any other day Move between days with the arrows or choose a date in the calendar. Leave a plan for next week, revisit yesterday or return to today. Calendar markers show which days have notes and give a sense of how much you wrote. Subtle progress dots show how much of today has passed. Shortcuts within your note Start a heading with ### and a name. Its first word becomes a shortcut above the editor, letting you jump straight to that section. Keep projects, reading lists and other topics together without scrolling through the whole page each time. Web links can stay in your text and open through the standard system menus. Carry something into the next day Mark a section with three greater-than signs before it and three less-than signs after it. That text can carry forward when you open today's note. Use it for unfinished tasks, a reminder or any text you want to keep nearby. Planned text stays first, carried sections appear below it, and the original note stays unchanged. Write, dictate, find and replace Type with the keyboard or use your device's dictation. Search the current note, replace words or search across your notes when you remember the text but not the date. Familiar system tools handle selection, copy and paste, undo, spell checking and autocorrect. Revisit earlier versions Preview and restore earlier versions of a note. Choose how long to retain revision history. Your notes and history sync through iCloud. Make it comfortable Choose a light or dark appearance, color palette, font, text size and line spacing. Settings stay on each device, so your Mac and iPhone can have different writing setups. A little more, when you need it Named notes are available for things that do not need a date. On Mac, export the current versions of your notes as portable plain-text files. Made for Mac, iPhone and iPad. One-time purchase. No subscription.
