Piece your days back together, one page at a time. Gooji is a paper-feel journaling app. Torn paper, washi tape, lace edges, spiral binding — the tactile things that make paper journals worth keeping are all here. Except this one fits in your pocket, is searchable, can't be lost, and lets you tuck a voice memo into the page. No feeds, no leaderboards, no daily streaks. This notebook belongs to you alone. ■ Put anything on the page Photos, stickers, text, frames, doodles, voice notes, tape. Drag them, pinch to scale and rotate, reorder layers. Flip through multiple pages like a real notebook. ■ Any photo becomes your sticker Pick a photo and the subject is cut out automatically, with an optional white outline for that die-cut look. Hand-drawn doodles can be saved as reusable stickers too. ■ Frames are drawn, not images Torn paper, Polaroid, stamp perforations, lace, film strip, hand-sketched outlines — all vector, crisp at any size. ■ Native drawing canvas The same pens, colors, widths, eraser and ruler you already know from the system tools. ■ Six home screen widgets Today's Mood (tap it right on the home screen, no need to open the app), a journal page, quick capture, an activity grid, a photo frame, and a daily sticker. ■ iCloud sync Your journals and custom stickers sync through your own private iCloud space. Switch devices and everything is where you left it. We run no servers and cannot see your content. ■ Free and PRO Free gives you 5 journals, with all built-in stickers, frames, the drawing canvas, voice notes, all six widgets and iCloud sync — no time limit. When you need more books, or want the PRO stickers, watermark-free export and PRO widget styles, there is a one-time purchase. No monthly or yearly fees, yours forever, including all future updates. Journaling shouldn't feel like a chore. If all you want today is to stick on one sticky note, that counts as a day well spent.
