App Profile: Minimalist Journal

This is the best journaling app I’ve found so far. It’s intuitive and the one time fee of $9.00 for unlimited entries is more than fair to me. I’ve been using it just about daily for two weeks and have a few points of feedback: 1. The ruled lines in dark mode are virtually invisible unless the screen brightness is close to max. I’d like the lines to be made a bit lighter or brighter so that I can see them and ensure my handwriting remains tidy. 2. I’m left handed so the side of my palm will accidentally hit the dates on the side of the screen resulting in jumps to past or future entries and a flow break. I’d like the opportunity to move the menu to the right side. 3. *bonus* I’m sure this goes against the idea of minimalism but I would love to see a color wheel for ink options. Perhaps behind the paywall for unlimited entries? As is, this app is an outstanding option for simplistic journaling. A few tweaks will make it perfect. 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.

I’ve been looking for a app that is just a notebook for my iPad and I think I’ve found it with this. I love how minimalist everything is and how easy and natural it feels to write on the page, thank you to the creators for this. My only gripe would be knowing what buying unlimited pages would do, am I only limited to a couple pages and then my trial is done or can I keep using the free version and use as many pages as I’d like, just a question I had. Thank you for dedicating your time to making such a great minimalist app, it’s very much appreciated by me
