About this app

Flexible Journal is a customizable journal that lets you easily write entries using prompts. You can make prompts for tracking your life, health, books, and more all in one multipurpose journal. Prompts help you focus and track exactly what you want. Just choose what questions you want to be asked, and then answer them to write an entry in just a minute

Write easily using customizable prompts
Prompts are custom templates made up of questions that help guide your writing. For example, you can create a template to correlate health with nutrition. Just make a template with questions like ‘What symptoms am I having today’ and ‘What did I eat today’, you can even add checkboxes like ‘Did I take my medicine today’. Then you can write daily entries easily by just answering these 3 questions. What’s unique about Flexible Journal is that it lets you choose the structure of your templates, this lets you create a custom journal that’s unique to you

Five Minute Journal
Flexible Journal makes a great five minute journal. Its custom prompts make it so you can quickly write about your gratitude, mindfulness, and daily chores with ease. Custom questions make it easy to focus on exactly what you want. For example, write about gratitude by just answering a few gratitude prompt questions like ‘What am I grateful for today’ and ‘What am I excited for this week’ or ‘Three good things’. You can easily customize your diary prompt questions to whatever you want. Track your daily progress, and mood quicker than ever

Customizable health log
Easily track and correlate your everyday health data however you want with your own custom health templates. Track symptoms, health, diet, mood. You can create health templates to track your unique needs and symptoms. You can also log your medications and correlations such as correlating diet with symptoms, mood, and more. Instead of using a health diary that is static and only tracks certain health conditions, with this diary, you can track your own health problems exactly as you need. You can also use it to record medical history and data as a lifetime health tracker

Mood Tracker
In addition to being an everyday health tracker, Flexible Journal can also be used to track your emotional and mental health and can even be used as a therapy log. Track your happiness and sadness using the mood field in your prompts. Make templates with questions like ‘How am feeling today’ and follow-up questions like ‘Why am I feeling this way’ to try and find correlations between the two. Add in other factors like diet and sleep to see what might be affecting your mood. Journal your depression and progress with recovery and much more along with your daily doings and habits

Custom Habit Tracker
Track any habit using your own templates. Just make a daily habit template with questions like ‘Did I improve my habit today’ and ‘What could I do better tomorrow’ to both create habits and break bad habits. Make multiple templates for each unique habit you have

Private Diary
Use the app as both a custom diary and a private diary. Flexible Journal stores all your data offline in its own database so all your data is private unless shared. It’s also a journal with lock so you can pin-lock your data if you’re a pro subscriber

Questions Diary
Journal your life by answering questions. Custom questions make it easier to stay focused and write in your journal daily instead of getting distracted

Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app daily for over a year now without any issues. Today, I tried to open this app and it keeps crashing. My device (Samsung Galaxy S20) tells me I have to clear my cache. So I do that, and FJ still won't open. I have optimized my device. FJ still won't open. It's saying there is still a bug. So essentially, I've lost a year and a half of journals. Very upset. 😭

I swear by using journals, and I don’t know how I survived without one for so many years - I typically use journal apps to record family events, thoughts, online orders & bill payments, fund transfers, trips, maintenance, restaurant visits, health records, etc. I've been on the hunt for the perfect journal app for awhile now. Until last week, I was using Day One. Before that, Daybook, but they went to a subscription service for pro. I will never pay a subscription fee for an app; I'll use a Microsoft product before I ever do that. Anyway... I resumed looking for the perfect journaling app last week, and stumbled upon this one. I found it confusing at first, but only because I've never heard of a journal app where you can customize the entries. The first thing I thought was "I'll have to invest some time in this app." That was not true though. Once I started playing around with it, I was rocking and rolling in less than 30 minutes. Once I figured-out it's full potential, I loved it. I've since setup several different categories, and lists which help me find posts much much easier - especially when I just cannot find the exact words for what I'm looking for. While there’s a subscription option, there’s also an option to pay a one-time (forever) fee; I like that! I did that. I also like being able to switch to calendar view to drill-down a search to a month view, and you have the dates and times visible in that view. If those features were not enough, how about auto backups? If I was forced to complain about anything, it would be that there’s not enough icons for the forms (or not the type I want), but that’s nit-picking for sure. I’d also like to see other destination options for printing entries to PDF. In closing though, I’m very very happy with this app, and let there be not doubt... this app can be whatever the user wants it to be. That’s the beauty of user customization. If you don’t like the provided terms - you can rename them. If you don’t like the provided forms – you can delete them. If there's not enough categories for you - you can create more. If there's not enough lists for you - you can create more. Kudos to the development team!

Love this app. I was struggling to stay consistent with gratitude, pain and mood tracking. This makes it so easy with ready-made templates plus the option to create your own. I love that it will graph my responses so I can look for patterns, or export to CSV file for further manipulation. Developers also respond quickly to suggestions or questions. Perfect balance of simplicity and added features.
