I've always loved keeping a journal. But in everyday life, sometimes it's not that I don't want to write. I'm just too tired to do anything except lie down and scroll through my phone. So I wanted to make a journal app that didn't ask me to take journaling too seriously. A cute little place to come whenever I feel like writing something down. And that's how PuffLog came to life. Write a few lines about your day. Add a photo. Add a few favorite stickers. Pick a mood. And when you don't feel like writing anything at all, you can simply draw a tiny pixel expression. That's it. Just a little place to keep the small moments from everyday life. What's inside PuffLog? 1. A Pixel Journal You Can Make Your Own Mix text, photos, stickers, and moods in the same journal entry. Write a whole page if you want. Or just write: "Exhausted." Your journal doesn't have to follow any rules. 2. Lots of Cute Pixel Stickers See something you like? Add it to your journal. A little weather sticker today. A slice of cake tomorrow. Maybe a random cat just because you feel like it. Arrange everything however you want. It's your journal. 3. Photo Journaling Sometimes you just don't feel like writing. That's okay. Add a photo instead. A really good meal. A place you loved. A pretty sky. Little moments are worth keeping, too. 4. Draw Your Mood Maybe today feels pink. Draw it pink. Maybe you're having a terrible day. Draw yourself with a grumpy little face. Sometimes a tiny pixel drawing can say what words can't. 5. 14 Pixel Animal Companions Meet 14 adorable pixel friends, each with their own personality. Tap on them and they might even have something to say. When you're writing in PuffLog, it can feel a little like having a tiny companion hanging out in your room. 6. Cozy Music & Sound Effects I also added some of the music and sound effects I've made myself. So when you open PuffLog, you're not just looking at your journal. There are little sounds and cozy music playing in the background, too. Just something to keep you company in your little pixel room. 7. Home Screen Widgets Put your favorite journal entries, moods, and little companions right on your home screen. Every time you pick up your phone, you can see a little piece of your own world. 8. Turn Your Entries Into Shareable Cards Sometimes you write an entry you really love. You can turn it into a cute journal card and share it with others. Your photos, thoughts, and little moments can become a tiny snapshot of your life. 9. Dreamy Colors & Backgrounds I love playing with colors, so PuffLog comes with lots of soft, dreamy themes. Change the colors and it feels like opening a brand-new journal. Soft pink today. Calm blue tomorrow. Let your journal match your mood. 10. Private, Local & Password Protected Your journal is personal, so privacy matters to me. Your journal data is primarily stored locally on your device, and you can set a passcode to keep your journal private. And because I don't think a little journal should come with a monthly bill: PuffLog is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No recurring payments. I didn't make PuffLog to turn you into someone who journals every single day. Honestly, I know how many days can go by without writing anything at all. I just wanted that whenever you suddenly feel like remembering something, there would be a little place on your phone where you can sit down comfortably for a moment. Write a few words. Add a few pictures. Spend a little time with your feelings. Then maybe come back a few months later and think: "Oh, I was doing that back then." "Wow, I was so happy that day." "Okay, I was actually kind of cute." And that's enough. I hope PuffLog becomes that little room on your phone that you occasionally want to come back and visit. Thank you for supporting an independent developer.
