Following up on this week’s Scott’s Thoughts, we wanted to share a few journaling apps we recommend for a variety of device platforms and “journaling styles.” While there’s nothing wrong with keeping a paper notebook for your private reflections, there are some benefits to software-based journaling:
1. Protection from prying eyes
2. Backups in the cloud
3. Robust search features
There are no shortage of apps, of course. Here are a few top picks we’ve put together:
1. Day One (http://dayoneapp.com/). Probably the most highly recommended journaling app on the web, Day One works on iOS, Android, and the Mac. In addition to a simple interface, it allows you to customize multiple reminders. The basic edition is feature-rich, but the premium subscription takes journaling to a higher level. You can learn all about the features here: http://dayoneapp.com/about/
2. Journey (https://2appstudio.com/journey). Don’t want to pay a subscription for premium features? Pay once for Journey, probably the strongest competitor to Day One. It’s also available on a wider range of platforms and devices. It’s been picked Google Editors Choice from 2016 – 2018.
3. Dabble.me (https://dabble.me/). Probably the best thing about Dabble.me is that it emails you everyday to ask you how your day went. The journaling is simply your reply message. The pro subscription is just $3/month and offers a robust number of features: https://dabble.me/features
