Besides being a gadget and tech nerd, I’m a journaling nerd. I’ve kept journals and diaries since I was a kid. I’m such a dork about journals, pens, stickers, etc., that me, my sister and niece talk about it constantly. We even started a journal club in 2020 and just had our 8th meeting this past weekend. But even though I love paper journals, I also like to use digital journaling because I can type so much faster than I can write with a pen. I’ve been using the Day One digital journaling app since 2010 which means that it is way past time to review one of my most used and favorite apps. So let’s go! What is it? Day One is a full-featured, easy-to-use journaling app for iOS, Android, and even macOS. Sorry Windows users, you’re left out in the cold. While Apple has rolled out its own Journal app recently, Day One is a much better app for people who like a lot of features. My history with journaling I’ve been keeping an analog journal since I was a kid. Some of my completed journals are shown above. I’m kind of obsessed with paper notebooks, pens, washi tape, etc. And I’m not alone. My sister is as much of a fanatic as I am, and so is my niece. Along with Jeanne, who is the least obsessed of the four of us, we started a journal club and got together a couple of times a year to talk about journals and trade journaling gear (stickers, pens, etc.) Here’s a pic of a Day One entry that I made about our last club meeting just a few weeks ago.
