The Best Journaling App

This is not a paid review. I am just a fan of this app

I’m an avid journaler. I have been journaling for about 7 years now and I started off with a paper journal. I got obsessed. I started buying nice pens and journals with nice paper from Baron Fig. I probably wrote at least 200 words a day for the better part of 2 years.

My journals started to pile up. I accumulated about 7 or 8 paper journals over two years and thought about how many I’m going to have in 10 years. Am I going to keep all these? As a person who tries to practice practical minimalism, this isn’t the way to go. I imagined myself moving a trunk full of journals when I was 35 and deep down, I knew I wouldn’t reflect back on them.

Then I stumbled upon DayOne. A journaling app. At first when I started using the app, it was simple. You basically could only write and add tags in the original DayOne app. I got a keyboard for my iPad and started to log my days in this app. As I found out that I could sync it with my phone, iPad and my Mac. I fell in love with it. I know this is nothing new today but in 2015 it became seamless and I always had my journal with me everywhere I went.
