✍️1-Sentence Mindful Journaling

2y ago

I write about micro-mindfulness to help mid-career tech professionals reclaim clarity and calm so they can show up with presence and peace.

The Best Journal App for Mindful Journaling - a Review of the Day One Journal App

I've been researching several journal app features and found the digital one I like the most.

Day One is an award-winning journal app across IOS devices and is also available for Android.  Reviews call it a private digital space for journaling that "feels almost sacred."

Day One offers multi-functional journal options for free-form and long-form journaling, plus 1 sentence, 1 photo, 1 drawing, or 1 audio entry.

Pros:

  • Allows for 1-click entry creation.

  • Includes prompts if you're struggling to write or staring at a blank page.

  • Able to print your journal into a hardcover or paperback book.

Cons:

  • It's not perfect - no web app version; only available on mobile.

  • The quality of the Android app is not as good as the IOS version.

  • The desktop app is only on macOS; no Windows version is available. 

How do you choose the best journal app for you?

Maybe it's not only the app. Perhaps a combination of an app and a journal prompt works best.

One way to keep the journal habit simple and consistent is through micro-journaling.
