JourneyApp.me vs Pineapple Log

JourneyApp.me is a journaling app written entirely in Swift for iOS. Create an account, write journal entries with advanced markdown (headings, lists, checkboxes, bold, italic, strikethrough, code, colored text, nested tokens, etc.), upload images, link locations, and add tags. Entries are listed by date and can be sorted newest to oldest or oldest to newest, search all entries for specific text, filter entries by locations or tags or a specified timeframe. Data is encrypted and stored on the server, and each account is further secured via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for user sessions and via a unique API key only held by the user, so if you're not the owner then you can't view or edit the data. Images are encrypted and stored securely on Amazon S3, and are only accessible via a pre-signed URL held by the owner of the account.

Post Like Social Media. Private Like a Diary. Pineapple Log brings the familiar feel of social posting to journaling - without the performance. Capture your day in whatever format feels right. It's all the ease of scrolling through a timeline, with none of the pressure of an audience. Why Pineapple Log? 1. Journal the way you actually think Not every day needs a perfectly crafted entry. Sometimes it's a photo. Sometimes it's a voice note on your walk home. Sometimes it's just checking off your to-do list. Pineapple Log lets you capture life as it happens. Post However You Want: - Text Notes: Quick thoughts, long reflections, random ideas - write it out - Photos & Videos: Capture the moments that matter - or just that really good latte. No need to make it Instagram-worthy. - Voice Memos: Sometimes talking is easier than typing. Press record and let it flow. - To-Do Lists: Brain dump your tasks, plan your week, or make a list of things that made you smile today. - Sketches: Doodle your feelings, draw your dreams, or just scribble while you think. 2. Your timeline, your rules - Multiple Calendar Views Yearly and monthly views, see your entire month at a glance, with pineapple icons showing your active days. Browse your days like a personal feed. Jump to any date - past or future. - Update the Past, Capture Now, Plan Forward Use it as a journal for today, update the yesterday or a planner for tomorrow. Your timeline, your rules. Your story, organized the way timelines should be, chronological and easy to navigate. 3. Actually private No cloud sync drama, no terms of service changes, no "we respect your privacy but..." Local storage means your journal stays on your device. Period. 4. Features for Real Life: - Light & Dark Mode – Journal at 3pm or 3am—we've got you covered. - Widget Ready – Your current month, right on your home screen. What We Don't Do [X] No mood tracking

 We're not here to analyze your feelings or gamify your mental health. Pineapple Log is just a place to be - messy, mundane, or magnificent. Real journaling for real people. The Pineapple System Track your journaling consistency with a simple visual: golden pineapples for productive days (4+ posts), green pineapples for lighter days. It's not about pressure - it's just a fun way to see your patterns. For People Who Don't Journal You don't need to be a "journal person" to use Pineapple Log. If you've ever taken a random photo, made a voice note, or written a list on your phone, you're already doing it. We just made it easier to keep it all in one place.
