Reminder of all rules

I've been trying to find an app or website similar to Paper (ios) or Journal (android) that has that same type of 3d notebooks for organization, if anyone knows of anything similar for windows please lmk

I’d really like to start making a monthly vision board but I’m honestly not sure where to begin or how to make one that feels meaningful and actually helps me stay motivated throughout the month.

I’m planning on doing a little browsing on Pinterest for inspiration, but I’m wondering what else people do. Do you set specific goals first? Pick a theme for the month? Add affirmations, habits, quotes, pictures, or something else?

Hi, I'm looking for app recommendations

Features wishlist

• allows comments by other users

• can set posts to private or communitv or a subset of "friends"

• allows typed entries, photos, voice notes [bonus points if it will let you voice record an entry and then transcribe it for you

• can create tags for entries

• android app that allows windows access too for when I want to use the computer to type (not a super priority since I can always draft in Gmail, but highly preferable)

• active & friendly userbase (i.e. ability to friend other users)

• reminders to iournal via notifications

• does not censor content

• abilitv to download archives

Optional:

• ai feedback & prompts

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys, can't use a physical diary as there is a great deal of storage issues. If anyone would get their hands on it, I'd be doomed.

So, please recommend an application that I can use for diary writing. Something structured. Google Notes & all are very sad application. I was thinking starting a medium blog for just me, but that isn't a very good idea. So, please recommend!!

Also, something that should be reliable & shouldn't vanish halfway, all my efforts would go in vain.

Diary writing is an excellent habit & I want to resume it.

Keeping a journal is hard for me because it always ends up being really dark and mean towards me, so I am just trying things out, I'm going to try writing it like I'm writing letters to myself.. I might not be able to be super raw with my emotions though...

I’ve been journaling every single day for the past six years, without missing a day. I do all of it on my phone.
My way of journaling is probably a little different from what I usually see people talk about. I don’t just write down a few thoughts or highlights from the day. I document pretty much everything that happened, what I did, conversations or interactions that felt significant, and how I felt about different things. Because of that, I can end up writing a lot of words every single day.
I genuinely love having this record of my life. I can go back years and see exactly what was happening in my life and what I was thinking and feeling at the time. I also like the idea that years from now, I can read about moments that I otherwise might have completely forgotten.
But lately I’ve realized that journaling has also become a source of stress for me.
It’s almost always somewhere in the back of my mind that I still “have to journal” at the end of the day. If I’m tired or don’t have enough time and don’t finish that day’s entry, the next day I feel stressed because now I have to catch up before I fall even further behind. Since my entries are so detailed, catching up can take quite a while.
At the same time, I find it really difficult to simply write less. I’ve kept this daily streak going for six years, so the idea of breaking it feels strangely uncomfortable. And when something meaningful happens, I feel like I have to document it properly. Otherwise, there’s this feeling that an important part of my life won’t exist in the record I’m creating.
So I’m stuck between really valuing what I’ve created and feeling burdened by the amount of effort it takes to maintain it.
Does anyone else journal like this, especially people who document their days in a lot of detail? Have you found a way to make it less time-consuming or mentally overwhelming without feeling like you’re losing parts of your life by writing less?

My theme this year is edwardian/victorian ladies. I keep my daily notes in obsidian have chat gpt transpose them into a Jane Austen-esque note. I generally have a victorian themed woman with most pages which I create in Midjourney. The rest of the digital assets I purchased from Etsy digital kits. And to answer another posters question I do take daily notes noting too elaborate but generally they consist of weather/moon. a brief list of what happened . daily gratitude. random thoughts and what I am liking in the moment. I also have a monthly dashboard. but thats just lists of todos

As the title says, I'm doing a PhD and looking for ways to journal on my phone on the fly. I have a few requirements for the app:

- Supports voice notes (and hopefully has good voice to text options)

- Allows media to be uploaded alongside notes (for example, I want to upload an image of my cells attached to my voice note detailing what I did to them)

- Has a way to label notes/separate them based on type

- Android app (I use Samsung)

- Is also available on desktop

- Allows for export (copy paste is fine)

- Notes always accessible (so no expiry)

Nice to haves:

- A way to share my notes (like a link)

- If not free, cheap (preferably a one-time buy, or has a cheap month/year plan)

- Has a way to add things to my calendar (unlikely this is possible, but sometimes i remember what I need to do as I talk and I'd like a way to add it to my calendar since thats how I track my to-dos)

Please let me know if this app/workflow exists!

Journals are (generally) simple, right?

Does Obsidian feel like it is overkill? I have tried it for years but my use case is so simple that it feels like it is overkill, like it can do so much but all that stuff takes work. I'm just not sure about it. I'm deciding between it and Apple Notes right now. Usage is primarily on iPad since my PC is dying. I will get a new PC within the next year and a half (hand me down from my husband) but until then iPad and iPhone is where I use these apps mostly.

A long while ago, maybe a year or more, i was reading another redditor's post, and someone comment a link to a website.

I really want to say it light(something) but I can't be sure anymore. The first thing it asked you is if you are able fast or slow reader. Then you just type and Ai "answers" you.

I feel like the page itself was brown and white or brown and yellow maybe.

Any ideas??

i never received any formal notification that english access would be taken away or that they were purging their databases, but when i just did a search i found several posts on reddit saying they would be doing such.

the site has gone down for me before, but it was always restored within a few days. even now, the front page just says it's temporarily unavailable.

i haven't been able to log in in a week at this point. if you click on "LJ Home" on the temporarily unavailable page you land on, it does take you to a sign in page, but you can't go further than that. or at least i can't.

I was using Daily Diary for a while, before it started crashing and not letting me open the app at all.
Tried out EasyDiary after that, but I couldn't find an export option and that's a necessity for me.
Trying out Diary Vault now. Seems to be fine.
Also flirted with the idea of just using Simple Notepad, since it's already on my phone and what I primarily use for notes and checklists.

I just want to know what options exist out there, since so many threads in this sub mention things that have paywalls or ads or AI features, and I want nothing to do with any of that.

I don't do a lot of journaling. I usually fill up a cute dollar tree notebook about once a year. I mostly use it to write down recipes, keep a daily or monthly calendar, sketch, save receipts, and leave reviews or summaries of books, shows, and my day.

​It's kind of a weird mix of junk journaling and traditional journaling, but I'm trying to move it all to digital because it's easier to organize and far less messy.

​Does anyone have good recommendations that might work for me?

Looking for a good decent journaling app, I just need to be able to make 2 different journals in there and sync between my iPhone and Mac (no iCloud though!) but that’s the only main criteria! And not too too expensive, if not free 😛🫶🏻

Will it work? Will I manfiest what I want? I'm literally over here writing things down about my dream life... Do I need to keep writing? O.o

Hi! I absolutely love digital journaling. I use it for my personal journal, my OCs, to-do lists, and a bunch of other things.

I recently got a new tablet (a Honor), and while looking for new apps, I’ve noticed that so many of them are adding AI features, and honestly… I’m so tired of it 😭😭😭😭

Do you know of any journaling/note-taking apps where I can make cute and creative things without supporting AI features?

I don’t mind paying for a subscription or a one-time purchase if it’s worth it! Thanks!!

I loved this app. Really. It helped me through some challenging times, helped me untangle overwhelming thoughts, and I never thought I'd walk away. I used it every single day. But then the quality started to fall.

I don't expect perfection, but since November it has invented events that never happened, confused dates, mixed people's names, got my son confused with our dead dog, and occasionally given some truly bizarre interpretations of what's happened or been discussed.

I expect an occasional glitch, but when it becomes the norm rather than the exception, the benefits of the app evaporate. Instead of being useful it becomes frustrating.

I looked into alternatives, and found Mindsera.

It isn't fundamentally different, but:

• Imported all my 550+ entries from Rosebud perfectly
• Seems to have a noticeably better understanding of what I'm saying
• Has a much better interactive voice chat

I'm not saying this to kick out at Rosebud. Their app helped me deal with some tricky times.

But if, like me, you used to find Rosebud genuinely useful for your mental health, then it's important to know there are options out there.

Note that my subscription still has six months, and I don't expect a refund.

I just recently started keeping the deep thoughts I get in my notes app. School starts up again in 2 days. I've always been the quietist kid in my class, and I'm trying to leave my comfort zone after realizing I wanted to be an actor because that's always the first step, right?

I'm looking for a good workflow to connect my daily journal entries in Notesnook with the voice recordings I make on my phone.

Here is my current setup

I write a daily journal entry in Notesnook using the free tier. I also record voice notes using my phone's built in voice recorder app, which saves as m4a files locally on my device.

When I write my journal entry for a specific day, I make a note that I recorded a voice memo for that day. I would like to be able to link directly to that audio file from my Notesnook entry so that clicking the link opens a player and streams the audio securely.

My goal is to have a playable link in my journal that I can click and listen to the recording. I want to avoid using Notesnook's attachment feature because I am on the free plan and don't want to use up my storage space.

The key things I need are a free way to upload and stream the audio files, a secure link from Notesnook that opens an audio player, and for the files to not be publicly searchable or indexed.

What would be the best way to make this work?

I currently know of putting file in dropbox and copying the shareable link in my notesnook notes entry.

So many years ago I used to keep a diary/journal. I have used quite a few different apps in the past, one being "Momento" when I was on IOS. When I moved over to Android I used an app called Diaro for a while but way back in the day before smartphones I used to just keep it in a Microsoft Office document, and if I was ever out and about, for example if I was on the bus and a random thought popped into my head, I would just write it in a note/message on my 'Blackberry' (yes, you read correctly, a BlackBerry 😅) and then transfer it across when I got home.

Anyway let me get to the point without going into crazy detail. I do struggle with my mental health and when I went to what we call in the UK "TALKWORKS", I told them how I used to keep a Journal and they suggested I should do it again to help vent and get the thoughts out of my head.

What I'm asking is, can anyone recommend the perfect app for me that works with Android and maybe I can use it on Windows as well when I'm using my laptop? Luckily I have managed to decrypt my DIARO and MOMENTO backup files so I can import them as CSV files if needed.

I don't mind paying a small fee for an app if it's worth it for, say, a lifetime premium or pro version, but I'm really not looking to spend a fortune on a monthly subscription. As I'm not financially well off as I'd like to be, if anyone is able to advise I would be very grateful.

Sorry for the essay but I thought it'd be best if I try and explain a little detail, but then this IS a journaling sub-reddit after all. 😜
