User Reviews

Journelly is a privacy-first journaling app that uses Org-mode markup and stores data locally with iCloud-based syncing across devices (no subscription). Users praise its clean UI, reliable cross-device access, and ability to attach images and integrate with Org-mode workflows. Common drawbacks include the absence of Markdown formatting, occasional cloud-sync conflicts, and requests for richer media support and text emphasis features.

Pros

Private and secure: data stored locally in plain text, prioritizing privacy and user control.
Strong Org-mode integration and markup support, appealing to Emacs users and enabling easy workflow export.
Elegant, simple UI with a fast, distraction-free journaling experience.
Cross-device syncing via iCloud without a subscription, plus easy local backups and no vendor lock-in.
Support for attachments/images and rich journaling features (checklists, location and weather stamps).

Cons

Lacks Markdown formatting and basic text formatting options (e.g., headers).
Cloud-sync conflicts or issues with services like Dropbox can make syncing problematic.
Requests for richer media support (videos/gifs) and greater text emphasis options (headlines) are unmet or planned features.

I find this app very useful for reminding me the work I’ve done the day before. When the imposter syndrome kicks I take a quick look. It also help that writing in journelly is quick, and intentional given the word count limit per note.

Perhaps I approached this app the wrong way. I wanted a markdown app that would write journal and notes entries to iCloud folders or wherever I set the storage to. This app will not do basic markdown formatting. It seems to me it should support some of the markdown formatting like headers. At this point it’s not an app I could use daily even for quick updates since I can’t format the text at all.
