LiveIt Journal, Planner, Notes

There are a LOT of features all packed into this one app, so much that it can be overwhelming. But also a great deal of the app is fully functional with the free version, so you have plenty of time and freedom to figure out everything it does. It is incredibly robust and it definitely seems like they only locked actual premium features behind their subscription, which is a breath of fresh air! It also has a lot of tutorials available to make the most of its many interconnected features. If you end up really liking it, they even have a one-time lifetime purchase option (it’s pricey at $99 but when everything is subscription or nothing, having ANY option to purchase one time and own forever is so refreshing.)

I downloaded Journal it! with a very specific goal in mind—I wanted a simple way to create prompts and templates to support my grief work and mental health journey. Within weeks, it has completely exceeded my expectations and evolved into a full life management system. The functionality is incredibly robust. What started as journaling has expanded into a seamless hub for my calendar, task planning, reminders, and personal organization—across both work and personal life. The ability to create customizable templates and note types has been especially powerful for my therapy work. I can reflect on sessions, complete exercises, and even export my notes as PDFs to share with my therapist ahead of time, which has made my sessions far more productive and meaningful. What truly sets this app apart is its flexibility and depth—you can tailor it to fit exactly how your brain works. It doesn’t box you into a rigid system; it grows with you. With such a flexible and robust tool, there is a slight learning curve, but it’s very intuitive once you get the hang of it. The developer has videos, documents, and feature notes that help you get started with minimal friction. And on top of all that, the developer is incredibly engaged, thoughtful, and responsive. You can tell this app is being built with real care and intention. This is honestly one of the most powerful and thoughtfully designed apps I’ve ever used—and the fact that it continues to improve makes it even more exciting. I wish I had found it earlier. Highly recommend.

I have been on a big productivity app journey, some would call it an obsession. I’ve tried probably 30 apps and previously had separate apps for reminders, habits, notes, journaling, and daily planning. It seemed at the time like I had the “best” of all of these categories, but in reality I was wasting a ton of mental energy keeping track of my inputs in all of these separate apps that didn’t communicate with each other. I then tried some of the well-known PKMS solutions like Notion or Obsidian, but their task management systems seemed really clunky to me and the systems were also missing that spark that makes this whole thing fun and encourages me to use it and be more productive. Enter Journal It! I’ve literally replaced 5 apps with this one. The only other all-in-one productivity app I’ve found that meets my needs is Twos, but I just didn’t align as well with the bullet-style form of capturing things. Journal It’s hierarchical structure is perfect for me. And, it may seem like a small thing, but the casual style and how light the colors make the app feel goes a long way in encouraging me to use it. Journal It! Is the first and last app I look at each day and I probably use it another 30 times throughout. It is essential to me and is, in my opinion, the best option in the entire productivity app category. High praise, I know, but trust me, I’ve tried MANY. Everyone needs to try this app and invest the time in understanding it - it took me a few tries to really understand all there is to do. But it’s so, so worth it. Thank you to the developer for this indispensable life companion.
