Quickly becoming my go-to journaling app
02/02/2025

ValorIvandis
As someone who enjoys to having good quality tools to work with, I spend time comparing what's all available on the market to find the best suited tool for my needs. Everlog checks every box for me aside from lacking cross-platform capabilities, specifically for Windows computers. As a software developer I look for apps that are visually appealing, intuitive to use, respond quickly without performance lag, and perform their functions reliably without losing or compromising data. I also prefer tools to be cross-platform, have data export/import capabilities for backup management, and have a "lifetime purchase" option so as to avoid costly subscriptions. As I said before, Everlog checks all these boxes save for being fully cross-platform. That said, it does everything else so well that I'm willing to use it despite being inaccessible from Windows computers. I even took the time to boot up and restore my 10 year old Mac Mini so I could use this app in a desktop context. To conclude, my favorite UI design feature of Everlog is its incorporation of the color schemes in the smallest details of each notebook. The colors are a helpful visual indicator to keep track of the journal you're in.

So Much Potential

So I been looking for a journaling/ note taking app that is simple, very visually appealing and provides a place to get lost in your text. This app has much of what I been looking for. I do have a few additions I would like to see. I do think a recently deleted folder is needed. The app could provide different fonts. Also the ability to upload a picture or document to a journal post would be nice. Overall I like what I see so far. I see some people make some valid points but this app is early in development and should allow for some time to see if the cost is worth it or not. I believe the price is is good for the possibilities that can come from this and features for the future. I’ve spent more on new and established apps that turned out to be not so good. I think the dev is doing a great job with this project and I’m looking forward to see where it goes. The potential here is something that I want to see progress over time. Also I would love to see a native Mac version of the app.

Best for tagging & multiple journals

I downloaded every journal app and tested. And contacted Everlog’s developer. After his reply I went all in and haven’t looked back. In order of importance to me.1. Multiple journals. Not all top tier journals have this. The juggernaut journal app puts it behind a premium subscription. Everlog’s subscription is way cheaper. I bought the lifetime version.2. Tagging. AND, all the tags appear on the left. And behave by modern tagging standards. You can type the # and see within the text of the entry. In most other journals, you can’t see the tags on the left, and some not even inside the entry. The others have clunky ways to filter and search on tags. The only journal that did tagging as good as Everlog didn’t have multiple journals.3. Put 1 & 2 together and I can’t find a single program that does this.4. You take photos directly in the app and keep your camera roll clean.5. He just added the templates a month ago.6. He said he would have video upload soon.7. He said he would add a shared journal feature so I can share with my wife.8. It’s pretty and inviting to use. This probably goes higher on this list.The only program I found to compete with 1 & 2 is ‘Bear’, but that is a note capture app, not a journal. There is no calendar interface, no sense of time passing, which is what journals are famous for. My search is complete. Thank you, love the app.

Does just what I need

I know it’s not the fanciest journaling app in the App Store, but I’m not a fan of subscriptions and this one had the option for a one time payment. The interface is clean and elegant. Could use slight tweaks in the visual presentation but overall it’s great. It’s been years since I’ve kept a journal and this has put me in a place of writing everyday now for a month. I’m glad it’s a blank slate and that I can just write whatever comes to mind. The more I use it the more I find it useful as I’ve now begun taking notes at church in the app. I figure it’s just an important for posterity to know of spiritual impressions as it is for my life. The developer is extremely quick at listening to and making changes. If he’s interested I’m sure I can come up with a list, but in the meantime I’m happy with what he’s created. I use this app with an external keyboard on an iPhone and initially had issues with reading the text on a scrolling post. He fixed it promptly. Only issue I’m having is that I purchased the lifetime plan and can’t seem to get the MacBook to see the same plan and it’s asking me to purchase it again. Looks like the purchase it still showing pending and so fingers crossed once it’s showing finished I won’t have an issue anymore.
