Journal. Plan your day. Track your mood. Three things you do every day β€” finally in one app. Eunoia brings together dated journal entries, a visual day timeline for tasks, and mood tracking so you can write, plan, and reflect without switching apps. Browse past days, review your history, and see how your writing, schedule, and mood connect over time. JOURNAL Write dated check-ins with rich text β€” headings, lists, checklists, quotes, and colors. Add titles and background colors to each entry. Browse entries by day with a date slider and jump to any date in your history. QUICK NOTES Keep a separate notes tab for undated ideas, lists, and thoughts that are not tied to a specific day. TASKS Plan your day on a visual timeline. Add tasks with start and end times, subtasks, repeats, durations, icons, and colors. Set reminders and alarms, mark tasks complete, and see free time between items. MOOD TRACKING Log how you feel with every journal entry. Review mood trends, a color-coded calendar, frequency charts, and line charts over days, weeks, and months. GUIDED PROMPTS & TEMPLATES Start writing with thoughtful prompts and ready-made templates for mornings, evenings, gratitude, reflection, achievements, and daily to-dos. DAILY QUOTES Get motivational quotes when you need inspiration. Reflect on a quote, turn it into a journal entry, and receive quote reminders on a schedule you choose. VOICE NOTES & TRANSCRIPTION Record your thoughts out loud and turn speech into journal text automatically. AI JOURNALING COACH Chat with an AI assistant for reflection and support. Save conversations as journal entries when something resonates. PHOTOS, MEDIA & MEMORIES Attach photos, videos, audio, files, links, and locations to entries. Browse all media in one gallery and revisit moments plotted on an interactive map. STATISTICS Journal stats: activity charts, word counts, mood patterns, and journaling streaks. Task stats: completion rates, activity heatmaps, top tasks, and task streaks. REMINDERS Morning and evening journal reminders, motivational quote notifications, and task alerts so nothing slips through. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Streak, quote of the day, and mood calendar widgets β€” check in without opening the app. THEMES, LANGUAGE & iCLOUD BACKUP Choose light, dark, or system themes. Switch app language anytime. Back up and restore your journal with iCloud. Privacy first Your data belongs to you. AI features process only the content you choose to send. Eunoia is for anyone who wants to journal more, stay on top of their day, and understand their mood over time.
