Sharing Me is a private and shared daily journal app made for self-reflection, personal growth, and better relationships through shared journaling. Write a brief reflection each day, then travel back in time to see what you wrote weeks, months, or even years ago. Also, categorize your journals in circles, and even share journals with loved ones. Don't just live your life. Understand and document it. Try Sharing Me for free! ■ REFLECTION SELF JOURNAL WITH CALENDAR Each day, write what's on your mind in your daily reflections journal. Then revert in time on a dedicated diary calendar. Swipe through entries to understand patterns, reminisce on good memories, and learn from the bad ones. Furthermore, Sharing Me features a simple journal UI enhanced with a scribble diary notebook page where you can handwrite your thoughts. Add daily diary reminders and make it your secure, private life journal or daily notes with a date for random thoughts and lists; it's your choice. ■ CIRCLES – DIARY CATEGORIES Unlike other daily journal apps, Sharing Me allows you to create multiple journal categories, called circles. For example, you can have a self-reflection journal, a partner connection journal for relationships, a family memories journal, gratitude journal, mini journal for quick thoughts, mood journal for mood tracking, and more. You can also create custom circles with a name and custom color themes. ■ SHARED JOURNAL FOR COUPLES & FAMILIES Each of these journal circles can be shared with your partner, family, or even friends. All you need to do is invite them through the app. Then you can journal together by journaling thoughts in your shared diary. Use this to strengthen the bond, learn about your relationship, and grow mutually. ■ 100% PRIVATE, SECURE, ENCRYPTED All journal entries are stored on your phone locally.

The clearest difference is ads: Chapters at none against Sharing Me's shown. Sharing Me's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
