The practice comes first
Less pressure.
More noticing.
Give your year a theme. Take a small step. Leave a few words, a photo or a sketch. You decide what a meaningful day looks like.
Small steps count.
Record progress on a scale from 0 to 5. Partial credit makes room for ordinary days, changing routines and starting again.
Find the moments again.
Search your writing, browse your history and return to original entries. Your record stays useful as it grows.
Your record, in your hands.
Read and write locally, sync through your private iCloud database, and export your complete journal for free. No separate JournalPlus account.
A page that thinks like you do
Type a thought.
Draw right over it.
Typing and Pencil share the same page. Add rich text, a sketch and a photo to one entry, then come back and keep going.
On iPad, the page makes room for your hand and your ideas. On iPhone, your mixed page keeps its layout.
