Maker here. I’ve went against the grain[1] and maintained this journaling app for the third year now. This is V3 that I just pushed few months ago that added photo logs (iOS only for now unlike V2). It may help people reflect now we are entering the holidays with a new start soon. Why make another journaling app when there are so many other Day One look-alikes? Because it’s unique in the following ways: - Offline only, no cloud, no tracking - Easy to export to JSON (you own your data) - Minimalism design taken to it’s logical conclusion - Open and type, no step 2 - Type “?” to search, no step 2 - Type “#” to use hashtag to organize - Double-tap timeline to hide and keep logging in discreet - Pull up the timeline to see a 100 day GitHub like heatmap Also it tries to avoid the following anti-features: - journal titles (my pet peeves, way too much info up front) - Sparse timeline with main/detail layout that forces you to drill down to see your full journal entry - Notifications/reminders I try to expand the answer in this post too: https://thezenjournal.com/why https://thezenjournal.com/why Feedback and suggestions welcomed.
