Rich text formatting, photos, and voice-to-text are all there when you want them. Everything auto-saves as you type. Just write and close. Your plant reflects your journaling habit. Keep writing and it stays healthy and vibrant. Miss a few days and it starts to wilt. Its appearance changes across six states based on your consistency, so you can always see at a glance how you're doing. Your home screen shows your plant's health, your current streak, a week-at-a-glance strip, and how many days you've journaled this month. Track your mood each day with a simple tap. Your calendar fills up with color over time, showing patterns you might not notice otherwise. Monthly and annual views let you see your journey at a glance. Tap any day to read what you wrote or add a new entry. Set a daily reminder at whatever time works for you. When you're stuck, tap the lightbulb for a writing prompt. Dark mode is fully supported.
