Whether you prefer freewriting or guided journaling, logging your thoughts and experiences can help you understand yourself better. Use these apps to reflect on mindfulness, create a timeline of your memories, or gain insights about your mood.

Take five minutes in the morning and evening to respond to reflective prompts on gratitude and mindfulness. If you’re stumped on how to answer a question, use the suggested sentence starters to help guide your thinking. As you journal, gain insights from stats collected about your mood over time, frequently used words, and more.

Build gratitude into your routine with a daily journal prompt. You can choose a focus, like a memory, a mentor, or a song, to write about. View your entries in a timeline format that you can scroll through for self-reflection. Use daily reminders to stay on track and customize your journal's visual theme and colors.

Freewrite or choose from templates with questions about gratitude, food, or travel. Give each entry a title and select an emoji to indicate your mood. Earn badges for achievements, like writing in your diary for six days. You can also track stats on your writing frequency and mood. Customize your diary’s visual theme, background imagery, and even font.

Reflect on various areas of your life using a grid format, which helps keep you organized. Set a goal for yourself, like practicing self-care or building better habits, then use the space to write about your highs and lows. You can view your entries in a timeline format to see potential patterns and progress. Add photos, emoji stickers, and a unique tag like “winning” to capture your daily mood.

Create daily journal entries, adding your photos and location to create a timeline of memories. Write about landing your dream job or spending a perfect day at the beach. Favorite your significant notes, or create tags like “best day” to group similar items. You can also keep multiple journals to reflect on different areas of your life, or view the calendar to keep track of your journaling progress.
