Journalling app recommendations?

I've been using Journey (https://2appstudio.com/journey/) for a few years now. It looks good, well designed, reliable, and updated regularly. They have a paid business model that seems sustainable, which was important to me. I use it to jot down thoughts, attach pictures, etc.

Hey Dave, i'm actually working on an app now -- that makes it easy to add a highlight or a lowlight. And at the end of every month it guides you through an end of month review. And at the end of the year it guides you through a personal annual review. Would you be open to giving it a look and see if its what you are looking for?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I take notes all day in notion.io. Mostly around getting things done.

Then I use 750words.com to export the rest of my thoughts out. I aim for daily and the bigger the streak I'm on, the more I feel level-headed. It's hard to explain... Rivals meditation for me. It's more freewriting but it helps me a ton just to clear my head (which is hard for entrepreneurs lol). Even more so when I look back at 2 weeks ago and review what I wrote, gives lots of perspective.

Sorry for rambling lol.

I have been journaling for over 5 years now and Evernote works the best for me. :-) I tried also DayOne, but I was keep coming back to Evernote.

Currently working on something like a journaling app.

Please look at this, early concept, and leave feedback on what you would like: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/a5047ec5ae

I've tried lots of apps, but they could not keep my attention for too long. For example i use one note at work for work related stuff but I really need something more personal for personal notes and entries. And here comes my app which I'm working on. the idea is simple, to have a mood tracking app with journaling so that you can track what how why you felt that day..

Hi David. I've tried a few over the last couple of years and here's my current setup:

• a combination of Org mode (via Emacs) + integration with gists so I get automatic backups
• https://www.notion.so

The Emacs setup works for me very well because it doesn't require me leaving my "natural environment (I'm a software engineer) and allows me to capture ideas in a number of ways. Integrating that with gists means I also versioning built in so I can see how my ideas evolve over time. The issue with that is that I don't have a native app or anything like that if I want to check them on my phone. Hence where Notion comes in and allows for more things like collaborating with people, creating boards etc. I also use https://trello.com/ occasionally.

DayOne works for me: https://buttondown.email/swap/archive/how-accurately-can-you-remember-distant-memories/

I'm using my own app, a minimalist voice diary called Pointo:

Free and ad-free, no funky permissions or sneaky stuff, Android only (for now)

I use Day One on iOS. They have a Mac version too but I'm kind of used to type on my phone. (Who doesn't these days)

I use https://typora.io its free and they have mac, windows and linux versions

Can't resist throwing my hat in here: I've been working on my gratitude journaling app for over 5 years - Happyfeed and haven't missed a day in 1.5 years.

I pretty strongly believe that the just-3-per-day format makes the habit easier to get into. I personally prefer a positive focus over pure mood trackers, because reminding yourself that a shitty day was a shitty day, just makes it feel ...shittier.

For goal tracking and more free-form thinking - I agree that Notion and DayOne are both great apps. Personally, I use the Notes app on Mac. I also have a Moleskin I write in weekly to capture broad strokes regarding my mood, goals, and milestones.

Hands down: https://dabble.me/. I've been using it for years and I absolutely love it! The fact that it emails you and takes care of everything is great. I love seeing, "3 years ago you wrote..." and seeing how life has changed!

If you are using mac, you can try my cutenote: https://cute.marknoteapp.com, with which you can write freely, and your data is stored in a secure manner :)
