I like numbers and charts, but writing doesn’t excite me so much. I would like to keep a journal so I can remember what I did. Stamps Journal is what I made to solve that problem. This is an app that I created for myself and use daily. I find it incredibly useful. Feel free to try it since it’s free. If you find it useful for you too, that’s great. If not, delete it and there’s no loss. Some app highlights: Stamps Journal is your personal database for life’s little details. * Log in a Tap: Use custom stamps for things like washing your hair, changing your contacts, or taking medication. * Recall Effortlessly: Scroll through your timeline to find exactly when something happened. * Rich Context: Easily add money spent, duration, location, or a star rating to any entry. Your logs are more than just memories; they’re data! * Spot the Patterns: See your coffee habits, workout streaks, or spending trends through simple, informative charts. * Widgets for the Win: Keep your goals front-and-center with Home Screen and Desktop widgets that show your progress at a glance. * Works Everywhere: Syncs seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch via iCloud. Your life is your business. Period. * Your Data, Your iCloud: Everything stays on your devices or in your private iCloud. I have zero access to your logs. * No Lock-In: If you ever decide to leave, you can export your entire history. You’re here because you find the app useful, not because your data is held hostage. Stop trying to remember everything. Start stamping. Made with 100% SwiftUI & SwiftData in Los Angeles, California, USA.
