Your journal, planner, notes, habits, and goals shouldn't live in separate apps. In Journal it!, they're one interconnected system. Not features bolted together. One integrated system from day one, where planning, journaling, notes, and tracking actually work together. Available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Web. Mobile-first. Works fully offline. Optional E2E encryption. Built for individuals, not teams. Capable free version with unlimited items. Lifetime option available.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Hai, solo maker of Journal it!
I started journaling in 2014 because I kept forgetting things. What did I do last week? Last month? I couldn't remember. Journaling helped, but I soon realized it's more than a memory tool. It helps me think clearly and live intentionally.
In 2015, I taught myself programming and in 2016 built my journal app. The apps available were boring, just digital copies of paper journals. Nothing innovative. Not really taking advantage of what smartphones could do.
Over the years I discovered bullet journaling, second brain, and PKM. Ideas that empower individual productivity. They all point to the same insight: journaling, planning, notes, and knowledge work better together. Why keep them separate? I kept incorporating these ideas into Journal it!
That's how it became an all-in-one life organizer.
What makes it different:
- Mobile-first: most productivity tools are desktop-first with weak mobile apps
- Innovative design: built from scratch to handle everything in one place, not features bolted together
- Everything is interconnected: plans, notes, journal, and tracking all work together
- Works fully offline: your data is always accessible
- Optional E2E encryption: for those who want true privacy
- Built for individuals, not teams
Heads up: There's a learning curve. To make everything work together, I introduced some concepts you won't find in other apps. Check out the Getting Started videos if you want a quick intro.
I've worked on this full-time since 2017 and use it every day. This is my first official launch. I held off until the product felt truly ready.
I'm here all day to answer questions. Would love your feedback!

@hai_nguyen19 Just discovered the app and it's still amazing me.Would love to support this immaculately resourceful app !
And though I would need some time to understand and effectively use this app , it still promises a great deal of structure and organisation.

@harshita_mamgain The learning curve is real - I'd recommend starting with the Getting Started videos.
Thanks for supporting the launch. Sending your code now!
@hai_nguyen19 Thanks a lot ! I do have a question though , I am currently using the 1 month promo code , will the yearly promo code work after a month or it has a deadline to be used?
@harshita_mamgain the year code will replace the month one.
@hai_nguyen19

@hai_nguyen19 I think it's pretty awesome that you are officially launching it today! I've been using it for several months now and yes, the learning curve is extensive but very well worth it in my opinion!
If I could offer a few suggestions, I've noticed that you cannot paste text from other documents into any entries for the Journal It. I tend to cross use both Daylio and Journal It and I find that I cannot copy text from Daylio into a timeline or note entry on the Journal It app. I don't know if it's just me but it's something I've noticed.
Also, is there a way to better categorize the labeling system? Like adding a way to group similar things into folders instead of just one long alphabetic list? 😅 I do a lot of extensive organization and sometimes it is annoying scrolling through every single kind just to find the label I'm looking for.
Outside of that, I absolutely LOVE the user interface including the recent update to all the icons and texts. Much easier and friendlier to the eyes I think. Keep up the good work!! 👍

@hai_nguyen19 hi, do you still have promo codes left? :)
@ms_robe that's weird. Have you tried pasting from another app?
You can set areas as parents for the labels and find them from the area's content view instead.
Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
@hai_nguyen19 hi! I did try and paste from another app and it did give the same issue but I found a workaround. For some reason, I have to go directly into the clipboard and select the text I copied and then it pops up. But it doesn't paste anything when you just hold and try and select "paste", at least not for me. 🤷♀️
Thank you so much for the promo code! Really love the app! 😁
@ms_robe Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Glad you enjoy it :)
A year ago, I was fortunate enough to discover this app. The developer had been quietly building and refining it based on user feedback for years, without much promotion. I’m delighted that it’s now available to a wider audience. I wish it a fantastic launch!
@arnavesh Thank you so much! It means a lot having early users like you here for the launch. Feedback from early users over the past years helped shape what the app is today. Really grateful for your support 🙏
This looks awesome, can't wait to give it a try!
@almosttan Thanks! Let me know how it goes 🙏
This looks great, would love to try. Is the 1 year promo subsceiption still available?
@kate_michael1 thanks for the comment :) Please try this one: 69WK-XN46
Would love to try. Hook me up.

I've used Journal it for over 3 years now and it is the BEST journaling app I've ever tried!
I used to journal in physical books but I wanted to go digital and this app has made it so beautiful and easy.
Some of my all time favourite features:
1) The flashbacks & memories, where journal entries from different points in time are brought back.
I love seeing what was happening on this day 3 months ago, etc.
2) The ability to add moods, organisers, stickers and more to entries.
I loveee this so much, especially the stickers!
3) The way it syncs across devices. I use it on my phone and PC as well.
There's a lot to love and I plan to try out more of the other features.
I really like that it's an all-in-one app, and I can have my tasks, calendar events, journal, etc. In one place.
There are few apps that I can say I LOVE TO PIECES.
Journal it tops that list!
@piriye Wow, this made my day! 3 years - thank you for sticking with it.
So glad the stickers are a hit 😄
Thanks for the incredible support!
