A journal that adapts to you
Most journaling apps hand you their questions. Custom Journal lets you decide what to ask yourself every day.
Ask the right questions
Prime each day with prompts you choose — gratitude, goals, affirmations, or anything else that matters to you.
Focus on what you want
Fitness, friendships, gratitude, side projects — adapt your journal to whatever you're working on right now.
A journal that grows with you
As your priorities change, restructure your journal in seconds. Only ever answer the questions that matter today.
Build lasting habits
Daily reflection, reminders, and habit tracking built in — small check-ins that add up to long-term growth.
Your whole day on one page
Morning intentions, daily tasks, evening reflection — capture it all in a single entry. Rate your day, track habits with checklists, and mark special entries so they're easy to find again.
Journal in five minutes a day
Start with proven templates like the Five Minute Journal — three gratitudes, an affirmation, and a quick evening review. Short enough to actually do every day.
Hundreds of prompts to get you writing
Never stare at a blank page. Browse prompts for self-reflection, mental health, gratitude, and more — or write your own and reuse them whenever you like.
Design your own journal
Build templates from questions, checklists, banners, and quotes with a simple drag-and-drop editor. Use one journal or many — a diary, an idea log, a fitness log, whatever you need.
Everything else you'd expect
What journalers are saying
“I love the app — it helps me track and develop habits I want to create. I created a template with a series of questions rating how kind, loving, and considerate I was that day. It raises my awareness and helps me make adjustments. Practical in all aspects of life.”App store review
“I've been looking for an app like this for months and it has everything I was looking for. Most prompted journal apps don't have the prompts I wanted for my life. This one is super customizable in templates, font, and color — and everything looks really pretty.”App store review
“This is an AMAZING app! I'm not one of those people who can write in a journal for a long time — this lets me choose a simple template that I can fill out in under five minutes and actually do every day.”App store review
