Plan your day and keep a private journal in one place, with calendar events, reminders, handwriting, widgets, Shortcuts, and iCloud sync.
Parchment is a private daily journal that brings your writing, plans, calendar, and reminders together in one quiet place.
Open today and start writing immediately. Your calendar events and due or overdue reminders can appear above your journal entry, giving you the context of the day without switching apps. Capture notes, reflect on what happened, plan what comes next, or use Parchment as a simple daybook for work and life.
On iPad, Parchment also supports handwriting and drawing with Apple Pencil, so typed notes and handwritten thoughts can live together on the same day.
Parchment is built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with iCloud sync available through your private iCloud account. There is no Parchment account to create, no advertising, and no third-party analytics SDKs.
Features include:
- Daily journal entries organized by date
- Calendar events shown alongside your writing
- Due and overdue reminders in your daily view
- Reminder completion from inside the app
- Apple Pencil handwriting and drawing on iPad
- iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Widgets for a quick look at your agenda
- Shortcuts, Siri, and App Intents support
- Spotlight indexing for finding past entries
- Export tools for keeping a copy of your writing
- Custom appearance, fonts, and themes
Parchment is for people who want a journal that understands the shape of their day. It gives you one place to write what happened, see what is coming up, and keep a private record over time.
