Grid Diary Classic for Pc

Usually when I download a “diary” or “journal” app I often get conflicted on what to write. Sometimes I have days where I don’t do much at all and the page often looks almost blank. Most days I have no idea what I’d write anyways! It can be so difficult. But with this app, writing down simple responses is the perfect way to reflect on your day (especially when you love answering questions). It gives you a nice range of example questions with different topics and of course you can write your own custom questions as well; that’s a nice add-on! Even though I haven’t gotten the Pro version of this app it’s still very useful and doesn’t flood your app time with meaningless adds. There’s the occasional pop up asking if you’d like to update to the app Diary Pro though which I can’t complain too much about. Overall, this is my favorite journal app and I think I wouldn’t use any other one. It’s simple and to the point. Nothings cluttering the screen, it’s very organized and has a nice aesthetic and minimalist feel. Love it!

Thanks to this easy to use journaling tool, I am able to keep up with daily journal entries again. I used to keep a daily hard bound journal for many years, but as interruptions increased, I was missing days and weeks at a time. I'm so glad I am back to daily journaling with the help of this app. I mostly use it on my iPad, but since it is synced with my iPhone I can journal while I'm waiting for my food at a restaurant like I did yesterday. An unexpected benefit has been that I find myself being more aware of the important things in life, like making time with family and friends. This is a bigger priority since I'm aware I will be recording it. I've added a questions like, "Where did I see the hand of God in my life today?" This has helped me spiritually and increased my awareness and gratitude. I've also added "Things I'm praying for" and "Prayers answered." It's really added value to my life in unexpected ways. I've added, "Current events" to include what I'm aware of happening in my community and the world and my opinion of it. I'm emailing my entries to myself and still printing a hard copy because that gives me some security just in case the electronic copy is lost. I paid for the full version because it's well worth being able to add as many photos as I like. Plus the cost is minimal compared what I used to pay for my hard bound journals. I highly recommend this!

I love the app diary. I like that I can customize the prompts to what I want and can change them at anytime. Using this app has helped me to focus on what I am grateful for and celebrate small, daily wins - two things shown to improve our happiness. Even on “bad” days I can always find one thing I am truly grateful for and often that leads to another and another and then the day isn’t so bad after all. I also use it to help me notice accomplishments at work especially on those days that it feels like I ran from one fire to the next and didn’t mark anything off my to-do list. I truly believe focusing your thoughts on the positive can change your life. Since using this app I have lost 5 pounds and gotten a promotion with a $20,000 pay increase. I’m not saying it was all because of this app but it has certainly helped me keep things in perspective.

Pretty great so far. I like that you can customize the prompts and have a default template, or just switch it up from day to day. I’m glad to have found a diary that comes with prompts! I’ve only seen them as physical books before, and who wants to buy/carry those everywhere? This is perfect for me. It is a bit annoying to type from my phone, but that’s not the app’s fault of course haha. It’s disappointing that there’s not a desktop/mac version of the app so far, but at least you get to export with evernote. If you have a long commute like I do and are fine with typing on your phone, this is the app for you. If not, you may want to try another that has cloud capability and an app for the desktop
