Journal

The Journal is for reflection — daily check-ins, gratitude, and longer thinking. Where notes are reference material, journal entries are dated and carry a mood and an entry type, so over time they become a record of how things actually went. It lives under Personal → Journal.

The header shows your total entries and word count, plus a contribution heatmap of the days you’ve written — a quiet record of your writing, with no streak to keep alive.

Start an entry

Pick a starting template — each opens a new dated entry with helpful section headings:

Template	For
Blank	A clean page
Gratitude	Noticing the good and who you share it with
Daily	A quick morning, midday, or night check-in
Reflection	Going deeper on what matters and where you’re headed

Your own saved templates appear alongside these. A new entry shows up in the list once you start typing.

Mood, type, and prompts

In the entry’s top bar you can set:

• a date,
• a mood — from rough to great (it also tints the entry), and
• an entry type — Free, Gratitude, Daily, or Reflection.

Stuck on what to write? Open Writing prompts for starter questions tailored to the entry type, and click one to drop it in.

tip

Choose a notebook style — Default, Lined, Literary, or Handwritten — to change how the page looks while you write. It’s purely for feel, and it’s remembered per entry.

On this day

When today’s date matches entries you wrote in previous years, an on this day callout appears at the top of the entry, surfacing what you were thinking a year or more ago. It’s a quiet way to notice how far you’ve come.

Find past entries

The list groups entries by time — Today, Yesterday, This week, then by month — and you can filter by entry type or by tag. Like notes, entries save automatically and show a word count and reading time.

Capturing a journal: line in Quick capture for a day that already has an entry appends to it rather than starting a new one — so a running daily log just keeps growing.
