Keep a journal
Write a digital diary with Journal
Log your days and inner thoughts
IT WILL TAKE 10-15 minutes
YOU WILL LEARN How to add and edit entries in Apple’s Journal app
YOU’LL NEED iOS 17.2 or later
People have been keeping journals for thousands of years, and even Roman emperors like Marcus Aurelius have famously got in on the act. And no wonder, as a good writing habit can help you process your thoughts, plan for the future, and get a better understanding of your day – all valuable additions to the stresses and strains of modern life.
There are plenty of great diary apps out there, but there’s no need to search the App Store when Apple’s own Journal app is readily available for free. This isn’t just some low-effort side project from Apple – it actually has a ton of great features for writing a digital diary.
