I've been researching journal app features, and here is what I'm finding.

Happyfeed has 2 journal apps that help you practice mindfulness through positivity and gratitude. It is based on the psychology of practicing 3 good things, a moment of gratitude at the end of your day.

These apps promote a daily journaling habit with a photo or video and a short personal memory:

• Happyfeed: Video Diary Journal on the App Store, available on IOS – is a daily photo and video journal focused on positivity.

• The Happy Gratitude Journal App, available on Android - is a daily photo diary: on 3 good things or one pic daily to live a grateful life.

Pros:

• Ease of use.

• Ability to practice the 1 photo and 1 sentence journaling habit with minimal distraction.

• An actual mindfulness journal focused on reducing stress and anxiety while improving happiness and calm.

Cons:

• Minimal - almost no bad ratings.

• The initial versions seemed to be buggy; however, I am impressed by the responses of the developers to customer reviews as well as fixing the bugs.

A journal app is one way to help you practice a mindfulness habit; using a variety of journal prompts is another way to make the habit stick.

Micro-Journaling for Consistent Mindfulness

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

Micro-journaling includes reflection time with 1 journal prompt and 1 sentence journaling that you can do in 3-7 minutes daily.
