◆Turn your phone into a journal just by carrying it with you
All the little things your phone already keeps track of—like where you’ve been, the photos you’ve taken, and your schedule—are automatically gathered in the Hobonichi Techo App.
◆Which one will be today’s cover?
From your timeline of daily moments, pick one item to clip as Today’s Cover.
Choosing just one each day creates a personalized Life Book you’ll enjoy looking back on later.
◆Also doubles as a surprisingly handy memo pad
Ideas that pop into your head, a shop a friend recommends, a website or video you want to check out—whatever you discover that day, you can save it all. You can even add tags.
◆Easily print your memories
You can select photos or other moments clipped as Today’s Cover and print them out. The prints are sized to fit your Hobonichi Techo, making it easy and fun to decorate your pages. Just choose the memory and the size, and you’re ready to go—print at home or at a nearby print shop.

The location posts show random times, and when I try to edit them, they usually change either back to the random time that was shown or a different random time.
Charming and great for everyday use

Surprisingly convenient even for stuff like remembering where I parked my car. I love the flexibility around adding notes and captions to all sorts of media, and being able to review the month on a single grid gives me a sense of what it was about.The senpais, and game design aspects (sound effects, etc) add a charming, specific feeling to the app, which makes it stand out to me amongst the other, more minimalistic offerings. My only feedback would be to make the “coin” animation less intrusive. I understand it’s supposed to reinforce the habit of pinning photos, but when I’m pining multiple days in a row, it can get a little wearisome. Perhaps not making it interrupt the full screen, but delegate the animation to the icon in the upper screen corner! That way, you would still get the “reward chime”, but can still keep pinning while the music plays.Overall super happy with it and can see myself using it for a long time! Please keep the app non-AI as much as possible!
Needs more user control

I was planning to use this app as a companion to my Hobonichi cousin as my schedule can be busy but I still want to be able to log my day. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of automated functions required rather than having users input content manually. The location permission is the most annoying thing for me as there’s no way for me to manually add these locations myself. Instead, you’re suggested to keep your location turned on constantly which isn’t really ideal for both privacy and battery usage. I wish we’re not limited to these options and are given more control to manually add things in especially with health and location.
Has charm!

I like it so far and the characters are so adorable! I can’t wait to see what other stuff is added later! This will help me be more consistent because I just got into journaling and I have the Hobonichi Techo weeks, but I barely touch it. 😭 Though I’m planning to use both, I will log daily on the app and by the end of the week I’ll write everything I did on the physical hobonichi!
In the latest version, we have made the following improvements.
・Reminder notification settings can now be customized for every day or specific days of the week.
・The onboarding tutorial has been improved for better clarity.
