i never received any formal notification that english access would be taken away or that they were purging their databases, but when i just did a search i found several posts on reddit saying they would be doing such.

the site has gone down for me before, but it was always restored within a few days. even now, the front page just says it's temporarily unavailable.

i haven't been able to log in in a week at this point. if you click on "LJ Home" on the temporarily unavailable page you land on, it does take you to a sign in page, but you can't go further than that. or at least i can't.

I don't do a lot of journaling. I usually fill up a cute dollar tree notebook about once a year. I mostly use it to write down recipes, keep a daily or monthly calendar, sketch, save receipts, and leave reviews or summaries of books, shows, and my day.

​It's kind of a weird mix of junk journaling and traditional journaling, but I'm trying to move it all to digital because it's easier to organize and far less messy.

​Does anyone have good recommendations that might work for me?

Looking for a good decent journaling app, I just need to be able to make 2 different journals in there and sync between my iPhone and Mac (no iCloud though!) but that’s the only main criteria! And not too too expensive, if not free 😛🫶🏻

Hi! I absolutely love digital journaling. I use it for my personal journal, my OCs, to-do lists, and a bunch of other things.

I recently got a new tablet (a Honor), and while looking for new apps, I’ve noticed that so many of them are adding AI features, and honestly… I’m so tired of it 😭😭😭😭

Do you know of any journaling/note-taking apps where I can make cute and creative things without supporting AI features?

I don’t mind paying for a subscription or a one-time purchase if it’s worth it! Thanks!!

I loved this app. Really. It helped me through some challenging times, helped me untangle overwhelming thoughts, and I never thought I'd walk away. I used it every single day. But then the quality started to fall.

I don't expect perfection, but since November it has invented events that never happened, confused dates, mixed people's names, got my son confused with our dead dog, and occasionally given some truly bizarre interpretations of what's happened or been discussed.

I expect an occasional glitch, but when it becomes the norm rather than the exception, the benefits of the app evaporate. Instead of being useful it becomes frustrating.

I looked into alternatives, and found Mindsera.

It isn't fundamentally different, but:

• Imported all my 550+ entries from Rosebud perfectly
• Seems to have a noticeably better understanding of what I'm saying
• Has a much better interactive voice chat

I'm not saying this to kick out at Rosebud. Their app helped me deal with some tricky times.

But if, like me, you used to find Rosebud genuinely useful for your mental health, then it's important to know there are options out there.

Note that my subscription still has six months, and I don't expect a refund.

So many years ago I used to keep a diary/journal. I have used quite a few different apps in the past, one being "Momento" when I was on IOS. When I moved over to Android I used an app called Diaro for a while but way back in the day before smartphones I used to just keep it in a Microsoft Office document, and if I was ever out and about, for example if I was on the bus and a random thought popped into my head, I would just write it in a note/message on my 'Blackberry' (yes, you read correctly, a BlackBerry 😅) and then transfer it across when I got home.

Anyway let me get to the point without going into crazy detail. I do struggle with my mental health and when I went to what we call in the UK "TALKWORKS", I told them how I used to keep a Journal and they suggested I should do it again to help vent and get the thoughts out of my head.

What I'm asking is, can anyone recommend the perfect app for me that works with Android and maybe I can use it on Windows as well when I'm using my laptop? Luckily I have managed to decrypt my DIARO and MOMENTO backup files so I can import them as CSV files if needed.

I don't mind paying a small fee for an app if it's worth it for, say, a lifetime premium or pro version, but I'm really not looking to spend a fortune on a monthly subscription. As I'm not financially well off as I'd like to be, if anyone is able to advise I would be very grateful.

Sorry for the essay but I thought it'd be best if I try and explain a little detail, but then this IS a journaling sub-reddit after all. 😜

How many of you write your dreams in either a journal or the notes app on your device of choice?

Has anyone tried this app, Flipnotes.life for daily note taking and journalling? I just finished a free trial but I am unsure if it's worth paying subscription for. Looking for anyone who has feedback on the app. It's quite cool feature wise and I like how you can literally swipe and flip, and it automatically categorises all your notes using AI. Just looking for others thoughts on the app before I make a decision!

I love journaling but can never stick with writing in them. That being said, I absolutely love data and feel like the ability to graph certain things such as my mood, days of exercise, etc…, would be cool to see. Does something like this exist or do I just need to buy graphing paper?

Yeah... Never mind what I said this app. I tried to make another daily entry and it wouldn't let me. Took me to the subscription options, so I was a bit confused and messaged the people who run the app on Instagram. They said that it's not free and I politely said that I'd be looking forward to the updates, since they said that there would be some coming soon. Yeah... I'm not paying for that

Is there an app where you can share your journal with your loved ones
