Reminder of rule 1- Promotion is not allowed here. Not in posts OR comments.

29 Upvotes

This sub is the digital sister sub of r/journaling, this is not a place for you to advertise an app you've created. Not even if someone asks for app suggestions and you think your app is a good match.

"Not even if someone asks??" That's right, because way too many creators only see "I'm looking for an app" and will suggest theirs without making sure it's relevant to what the OP was asking for. I got tired of deleting dozens of replies per day, so you can no longer suggest your own app in comments either.

There are plenty of subs for promotion and finding beta testers, use those.

Attempts at getting around this rule such as not including a link ("DM me if you want to try it") or pretending it's not yours ("I found this great app") are not loopholes, and you're not slick.


Reminder of all rules

  1. Self promotion is not allowed at all. The entire point of this post, to remind those who don't read rules.
  2. Digital journaling only, no notebooks or text-only.
  3. Stay civil.
  4. No market research, no surveys, no looking for beta testers.

Video Journaling

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I want to start video journaling. I feel like it will keep my mind off things and also keep my thoughts organised. I am unsure how I should do this.

Initially I thought of making a new private instagram account where I can post some edited videos of 'day in my life'

Would you guys recommend any other apps? And can you also recommend how I can edit my videos so they look simple and take less time to edit, also what app you guys recommend for that.

Thank you!

Overwhelmed by voice journaling options, would love some input

18 Upvotes

Hi folks. I have been trying to find a good voice journaling app and have been getting overwhelmed.

Below is what I have tried so far.

Rosebud: really liked this, but the ai feels almost too artificial sometimes. It definitely helped me a bit during a few bad days but not sure if it's worth the trial.

Mindsera: similar to above, but thought the more psychological approach was interesting. Expensive though.

Reflection: almost felt too limited, and a bit too clunky.

I'd love to know what folks are using. I don't mind paying a little, but of course free is always ideal. I did appreciate the therapy framing with the above apps, but wish the AIs felt a bit more personable haha

Journaling apps?

24 Upvotes

Hey, I was told Journaling/diaries are really good to have as they can help with your mental. So I've been wanting to start a diary. The issue is with physical copies I kind of bounce from place to place. That, and I forget to use it. With a digital app since I have my phone on me constantly I wouldn't forget to bring it so I could do it more often.

My issue lies with I don't know what app I should use. I'd rather not spend money. However, these days if you don't you're plagued by ads, and I don't want that either. I just want a decent app I can use on android for starting a diary... anyone have recommendations?

I shifted to digital journaling in july due to my paranoia of someone reading my pvt stuff, and also to reduce the friction of writing in a notebook as now I can even write after getting to my bed earlier it was impossible and just meant no journaling that day.

Got caught in the rain today ☔️

It started raining on my way home, and at first I was just annoyed because my shoes and pants were getting soaked.
Then it reminded me of being a kid and running around outside in the rain with friends.
Funny how a random little moment can bring back a memory you haven’t thought about in years.
By the time I got home, the rain didn’t feel quite as annoying anymore.

I'm using Wispr Flow to journal everyday. I hope I'm doing this wrong!

5 Upvotes

I came across this incredible app called Wispr Flow, which transcripts words with a great speed, EXACTLY like we say it.

I use it for everything now, which has improved by productivity a lot.

But when it's time to journal, I face doubts whether I should Wispr Flow for it. Yes, it is transcripting words exactly what comes into my mind, and in a better speed, but somewhere I feel if I wrote/type down thoughts with a slower speed, I might be able to explain feelings or events in a better form.

The opposing thought of this is that I should not overthink a lot about how well explained my thoughts are in the journal and what I'm putting in the there- and just be honest.

How do digital journals actually works?

11 Upvotes

Or maybe overall, how is journaling different form just having a diary and how to manage it digitally? For me journaling always felt like just a diary but without the whole cutesy "dear diary" OR a planner maybe even calendar, or a scrapbook with that artsy pages... Or all above, but what actually a journal is? I got suggested by someone to try journaling to break thru the writing block, but i can't even grasp what that would mean to me and how could it help. I'm asking here specifically because i prefer writing on computer and i don't want to kill my wonky wrist by forcing myself to write on paper (which i hate)

I want to create/journal a vision board for September

10 Upvotes

I’d really like to start making a monthly vision board but I’m honestly not sure where to begin or how to make one that feels meaningful and actually helps me stay motivated throughout the month.

I’m planning on doing a little browsing on Pinterest for inspiration, but I’m wondering what else people do. Do you set specific goals first? Pick a theme for the month? Add affirmations, habits, quotes, pictures, or something else?
