Everlog Journal 4+

Frictionless journalling, clean UI, good organisation features

The other journalling app I currently use was feeling bloated with features I don’t use, so I gave Everlog a go. Multiple journals and tags have been useful organising my thoughts but the real standout feature has been the ability for me to comment on my prior entries and have those comments show on both the current day and alongside the original entry.

The only thing stopping me from fully switching my journalling to Everlog is an “On this day” feature that shows all entries on that day from over the years. Without this I’m unlikely to ever read entries older than a month again, with this feature I know what I write is never more than a year from being seen again. It would also wonderfully complement the comment feature, being able to add a comment with a years (or more) perspective on what I previously wrote.

Totally brilliant

By far the neatest, best-designed journaling app out there, at a very reasonable price. It can even be used for task management or other kinds of project tracking if you wish, especially with the new checkbox feature. The instant timelog feature is outstanding for time tracking, as is the continuous timeline.

You can create as many separate journals as you like, too, so keeping track of and zeroing into habits, exercise and so on is really easy – and that's before you start playing around with tags. This has embedded itself in my daily habits much more effectively than any journaling app I've tried before.

Developer Response ,

Reviews like yours are what makes my work worthwhile 😊. Thank you!!

Great

Used to be a DayOne user, and while I don’t have any faults to say about it, Everlog just seems to have a more pleasing aesthetic for me. I journal on it multiple times a day, and have just been enjoying the overall experience.

The ability to export and import journal entries from one app to another is just perfect, and I much prefer having my journal entries stored on iCloud instead of a third party server.

I have requested that the developer creates some addition Home Screen widgets, similar to the Lock Screen widgets - where you can see your streaks - and the developer has been really supportive and communicative.

The prices for the premium version are also a little more economical than Day One, so I’m happy there too.
