On Journaling Apps

I’m thinking deeply about journaling and how to better use apps like Day One and Standard Notes.

I have been using Standard Notes for nearly two years now. It has been my go-to note-taking app. I have tried many, but I always go back to Standard Notes.

Day One is a great app designed for journaling. But I’m still sceptical about privacy because of who owns the app, i.e. Automattic. I want to give Day One another go inspired by Daniel Pink’s Pinkcast episode on writing down one noteworthy thing at the end of the day. Also, a similar exercise is called Homework for Life by Matthew Dicks.
