Minimalist Journal 4+

After trying several journaling apps i really appreciate this one. I've kept a journal all my life and this one gets the closest to the effortless feel of journaling on paper. This app will be perfect if there were a use clunky way to erase. Having to tap twice to get to the eraser and then two more taps to get back to writing really breaks up the flow. Maybe a double tap to undo or utilizing The Apple pencils tap feature to switch pen tips with more ease? I'm also so grateful to enjoy this thoughtfully created app for a fair price in lieu of a frustrating subscription. Thank you!

I have looked at many notetaking applications over the years - journals, diaries, and what not - and have been most often overwhelmed by options.

I just wanted a simple journal like I might take off of my bookshelf, open up, and begin writing in with a pen. I have been writing in this journal every day for the past week and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a simple journal to keep your thoughts in every day. I like its editing tools as well.

If there is one feature, I would add, it would be a preference setting allowing me to choose a tool that would toggle with the Apple Pencil when I double tapped.

If you’re trying to emulate the feeling of writing in a normal journal, no bells or whistles, this is the app! I always felt that some of the other journaling apps were too over the top. I just need a place to jot my thoughts down and this app does exactly that and adds a sleek look to it too. It also allows for extra security with a Face ID lock feature!

Only down side it that the double tap on the Apple Pencil isn’t supported to toggle between different tools but I’m sure it will eventually get there.
