Portell is a daily journal, with beauty in simplicity. One entry per day, up to 150 characters. No pages to fill, no blank-page guilt. Get on a streak, attach photos, it's life one line at a time.
WRITE
• One line a day, 150 characters — focused writing, done in a moment
• Attach photos to remember a day by (Portell Pro)
• Edit today's line until the day ends; past days stay exactly as you wrote them
• Writing prompts for the days when nothing comes (Portell Pro)
REMEMBER
• Streaks: current, best, and all-time
• "On this day" brings back what you wrote in years past (Portell Pro)
• Search every line, or browse by month
• Year in Lines puts a whole year on one page, or in a PDF (Portell Pro)
KEEP
• A daily reminder, set to the time you choose
• Lock your journal with Face ID
• iCloud keeps it backed up — and in sync with Portell on Mac, sold separately
• A Home and Lock Screen widget shows your streak (Portell Pro)
• Export to a real spreadsheet (.xlsx) or a PDF, photos inline (Portell Pro)
• Share a day's line as a card or as text (Portell Pro)
• Four app icons to choose from (Portell Pro)
FREE, OR EVERYTHING WITH PORTELL PRO
Free: one line a day, streaks, search, the daily reminder, Face ID lock and iCloud sync.
Portell Pro, a one-time purchase, adds photos, "On this day", the widget, export, Share a Line, Writing Prompts, Year in Lines and app icons. Family Sharing is supported. If you bought Portell before, Pro is already yours.
Private by design: no accounts, no tracking, no data collected. Your journal lives on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud — never on our servers.
Portell 2.0 is free to download, with four new things to do with your lines.
• Share a Line: send a day's line as a card, with its date and photo, or as plain text
• Year in Lines: every line of a year on one page, to read back or save as a PDF
• Writing Prompts: a gentle nudge for the days when nothing comes to mind
• App icons: Classic, Amber, Light and Mono
• Writing, streaks, search, the daily reminder, Face ID lock and iCloud sync stay free. Portell Pro, one purchase with no subscription, unlocks everything above plus photos, "On this day", the widget and export. Family Sharing included
• Bought Portell before? You keep everything, Portell Pro included. Nothing to do
