## Description

Bullet Journal Companion 2.0 is a dedicated companion app for the Bullet Journal system. It lets you quickly capture Tasks, Events, and Notes away from your notebook with The Log, organize and search notebooks in The Library, follow a guided How-To in The Guide, and cultivate reflection through The Reflection feature.

## Review summary

Users praise Bullet Journal Companion for its simple, on-the-go logging, digital backups, and a helpful onboarding experience. However, repeated stability problems (freezes/crashes/overheating), strict file/date limitations (no overlapping journals), a aggressive 72-hour expiry, readability issues, and a lack of ongoing updates heavily color the overall sentiment, with many calling it abandonware despite its useful ideas.

### Pros

- Quick add widget for fast entries on the Home Screen (on-the-go logging)
- Digital backup/archive of bullet journals within the app
- Simple, straightforward layout that focuses on task tracking
- Backups and a sample BuJo included in newer versions (better onboarding)
- Serves as a convenient digital companion to a paper BuJo, enabling quick capture when you don’t have your notebook

### Cons

- Frequent freezing/crashing and unresponsiveness (including overheating on some devices)
- Inability to have overlapping journals or freely manage multiple journals with overlapping dates
- 72-hour auto-delete/expiration of notes and logs (not always desirable and not clearly configurable)
- Accessibility/readability issues due to font size and color/low contrast (difficult to read for many users)
- Perceived lack of updates and slow/absent responses to user feedback, giving an impression of abandonware
