Multiverse Journal

**For dreamers. One of a kind.** Multiverse Journal isn’t just another diary app. It’s the only journal built around **universes**: separate worlds or timelines where you write. Each universe has its own name, date, and feel. Your entries live inside the universe you choose—so you can keep real life, fiction, past lives, or future worlds clearly apart, all in one place. **What makes it different** • **Universes, not folders.** Create as many universes as you want (e.g. “2077”, “Medieval”, “My actual life”). Each has its own calendar date and style, so you’re not just tagging—you’re choosing *where* this entry belongs. • **One timeline, many worlds.** The **Multiverse** view shows recent entries from every universe in one feed. Jump between worlds without losing the big picture. • **Built for story and reflection.** Add mood, goals or next steps, tags, and custom prompts. Attach photos, voice notes, sketches, and links. Optional PIN lock keeps your worlds private. **Who it’s for** Writers. World-builders. Anyone who dreams in more than one “reality.” If you’ve ever wanted one journal that can hold your real life and your imagined worlds without mixing them up—this is it. **Start writing across universes.**
