Write like on paper
Headings, lists and checklists; bold, italic, highlight and six ink colours; four typefaces, one of them handwriting — on plain, dotted or squared paper in twelve tints.
Private journal & diary for Android™
Journal & Notes is a private journal and planner: pages with moods, photos and lists, notes and checklists, a calendar with tasks and reminders, and 70+ templates. It works offline, so what you write stays on your phone.
Features
Pages, plans, moods and memories in one private place, and every part of it works offline.
Headings, lists and checklists; bold, italic, highlight and six ink colours; four typefaces, one of them handwriting — on plain, dotted or squared paper in twelve tints.
Nothing you write leaves your phone unless you turn on Google Drive backup, locked with your password first. Your pages stay in the app’s private storage, out of Android’s cloud backup, behind a PIN — or your fingerprint — asked for whenever the screen has been off.
Photos, 117 stickers, voice notes and drawings with an eraser, right in the page.
Five moods, and words for how the day felt, from a list or your own.
Sleep, water, energy or your own, charted over 30 days in Insights with Premium.
A calendar by month or week, and tasks with a time, a reminder and repeats.
Daily plan, gratitude, habit tracker and more: 14 free, all 70 with Premium. Or one of 64 questions for the days nothing comes.
The pages you wrote a week, a month and a year ago today.
Search every page of every journal.
Save a page as a PDF, photos and all, or a whole journal with Premium.
One file you keep, a backup each day to a folder you choose, or your own Google Drive, locked with your password. Restoring never replaces a newer page.
Saved as you type, 30 earlier versions of every page, and a 30-day trash.
If you want one: once a day, and quiet on days you have already written.
Light, dark or as your phone, with seven accent colours.
