I’m glad this is free. Day One used to be so good until they converted to a subscription model!

love that, thanks for sharing the great insight, I believe some prompts will help those who are going to start the journey; Sometimes it's hard to know what to write about, especially if you're new to journaling. For the most part, you'll be the only one who reads your journal, so you can write whatever you want. If you need some ideas for what to write about, though, try one of these prompts. 1. List three things you'd like to tell a friend, family member or partner right now. 2. Write three things you love about yourself. 3. What are you grateful for at this moment? 4. What is your favorite childhood memory? 5. Who do you trust the most and why? 6. What motivates you? 7. What is a negative childhood memory that you've been holding onto and how can you work through it? 8. What is one of your biggest regrets and what can you learn from it? 9. What has been one of your biggest accomplishments in your career? 10. What are some of your biggest fears and why? 11. What is your top goal for this year? What about for the next five years? 12. How are you feeling right now? 13. Write three positive things you want to remember if you're having a bad day. 14. How would you describe yourself to someone? 15. What brings you stress and how can you alleviate it?

Helps one become even more absorbed with oneself, live in one's head instead of the real world and lastly take up tons more storage on one's iPhone. iCloud anyone ?

One thing to keep in mind is that afaik it doesn’t actually link to a photo from your library but copies it into the journaling app. Meaning you are actually using up more storage doing so.

Almost all apps are subscription now, I moved all my data out of third party apps and use apple notes. The same with word processors and spread sheets. I’m getting rid of apps that charge a weekly or monthly fees. If I paid for all the apps I’ve used in the past I’d be paying over a hundred dollars a month.

I've been using Day One for about 10 years now. I was eagerly waiting for Journal to be released. When it was and I tried it, I was suitably unimpressed. No cross-device sync, entries are day based, no option to sort by time of day, one big long list of entries, so no calendar view, etc.. Overall concept seems to be OK, certainly different to what I'm used to. Thanks for the review.

I don’t think this will really happen or take off until the Journal app appears on the iPad & the iMac. I do all my journaling in Apple Notes which, because of iCloud services, appears on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. Currently, the Journal app is limited to my slow one finger typing on the iPhone.

Does the Journal app combine all your journaling into a summary of what's going on in your life, analyze it, and give you advice on how you can improve? How does the app help you once you've entered in enough journals? What is the end result from journaling? Right now, it seems like a personal kind of Instagram-Twitter(X) hybrid instead of something I could benefit from. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's how it seems at the moment.

@@bubbles1978 My comment probably wasn't clear. I was referring to the app, not journaling itself. In the video, it seems like all he's doing is uploading photos (like in Instagram) and writing about his events (like in Twitter(X)), to be viewed only by himself instead of the outside world. I know that journaling can be very helpful, but I was wondering if the app did something extra like analyze all the journals and give feedback if the user's life needed improvement, or if a person's journals reveal a trend in depression, then the app could tell the user where they could seek help. I wanted to know if the app monitored the journals with AI or just simply stored them.
@chillwavemusic50248 ай бұрын
@@vidformreasonable clarification. Apple Journal free and reliable, but don’t has even searching option and previous days reviewing. So now it’s looks like you only write and store information without any interaction and when you decided to review your old days, thoughts (and you have more than 100 records) you wouldn’t able to do this. Agree that main reason to keep journal is ability to review, analyze, sort and categorize your old thoughts
