About this app

ZenJournal is not a note-taking app where you are forced to write a title for every note, not an inbox where you send email to yourself, not a blog that everyone can see, nor a social network site for marketers and stalkers. It’s not a fancy note-taking system that you have to watch a 10-minute tutorial to setup (and still don’t get it). There is no funny mood-tracking questions, nor too many notifications to setup...

ZenJournal is just a simple, fast, open-n-type journal app where you can be your most authentic self.

FEATURES:

○ Everything happens on the timeline, you logs, #hashtags, and ?searches all unified in one interface.

○ Open the app and start logging, reading, searching, reflecting. There is no step two.

○ Use #hashtag to organize your logs.

○ As you type, start with ? to search and filter your logs.

○ Backup and restore.

○ Long press to share your logs to social media.

○ Dark Mode! (OLED friendly #00000 darkness).

Here are a few ways to use ZenJournal:

● Shield your self from the frenzy contest of social media.

● Cure your fatigue with a stress-free micro journal.

● Find your inner peace, build up your self-awareness.

● Log your random #ideas and #musings.

● Stream-of-consciousness style writing.

Build your own ZenJournal with your random, intimate, embarrassing, dark or light, social or antisocial, secret or not so secret, genius or dumb, most subversive or idealistic plans, way ahead of time ideas or heart-aching throwback memories.

Ratings and reviews

Love how simple and fast it is to journal with this. I've been doing micro journaling through out the day and this app is absolutely perfect for it. One setting I wish existed was it I could have an additional line between each of my entries. It already adds extra space between days, so just having the same each time I submit instead of clumping them together in one big entry (or at least having a simple way to differentiate my posts). 💕

I really love the concept and have been using it - however the tagging and search function seems unreliable. I'll search a tag I've used and get no results, or results that are not complete. I have many things I'd like to track, and having one place where I can easily sort or find them was my big appeal for the app.

I wanted to start journalling to get my thoughts out of my head to set them aside. I'm a planner, so I started researching. I quickly got sucked into a vortex comparing subscription plans, lifetime costs and features. I was stressing out trying to pick a platform to help me not stress out. This app is perfect. It's intuitive and elegant in its simplicity. I open, I write. No intrusions (ads) and no distractions ("great streak!" "Look at this map!" "What's your mood?!"). It just lets me write.
