Everlog Journal 4+

Feels like I’ve been waiting for this app all my life…

There’s something that’s very hard to pinpoint about journaling apps, something that requires good design, UI and UX that makes it pleasurable and easy to open an app every day to enter thoughts. Day One and many other apps have failed me on this front. The short and sweet minute-by-minute log of Everlog is exactly what I wanted from a journalling app - something that makes noting thoughts feel more like messaging a friend or writing a tweet than having to come up with a grand essay for every day. Who has time for that?

I’ve only used this app for a little while, but it absolutely nails it on a baseline of functionality. I love being able to jot something down in any number of coloured ‘journals’ and have it show up in a timeline together or separately! There’s still a bit of room for this app to grow to be as pleasurable to write longer/more complex content in as something like Noto, but since I first wrote this review the developer has already pushed two updates with user improvements in a week(!), and even if the app never updated again, it would still be one of my favourites of all time. Thank you to the creator - it’s been an absolute delight to use so far, and it’s genuinely changed my life for the better!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the thorough feedback! 😊
I have looked into the lagginess of typing on the Mac and I think it should be fixed now.
I'd appreciate it if you could get in touch (through the app, Settings > Contact) about the menu as I'm not sure I understand the problem.
Working hard to improve the app regularly!

Everlog changed my life!

You know the meme from Brooklyn 99, "I've only had Arlo for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him...". Well, that's how I feel about Everlog. No other journalling app has ever given me exactly what I needed like this one, encouraging me to write in little bursts and with a friendly UI and UX that looks good, and just works. I really feel SO unbelievably happy to have found Everlog, it's indispensible to me now! It has helped my mental health to have something like this to jot down thoughts in on mobile or Mac whenever I need. And the developer is very responsive and updates with improvements frequently as well! I hope this app becomes as popular and successful as it deserves!

Everlog is extremely useful

I’ve been using Everlog for a while now.
Easy to enter info, can style the fonts, fast to load, low cost.
Records are all available on all devices, yet separated into iPhone, Mac, iPad which is handy.
Regardless of Journal’s arrival, I’ll stick with the better features in Everlog.
