User Reviews
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.

The iCloud Sync works great. Simply have your note taking application open to the iCloud document.

If you’re looking for a simple app to capture images, todos and thoughts on your phone, this is a decent option. Its superpower is that it generates a plaintext (org mode or markdown) file that can be synced to your computer via iCloud. This app solves two big pain points of a plaintext productivity system: mobile, and images. Unlike most (all) other similar apps, this handles images super gracefully, and it looks great on mobile. If you’re an org mode fanatic in a museum, for example, this is the app you need. Similarly, if you live in markdown and are looking for a “jot it down and assess it later” app, and also want to keep a food journal, or track the growth of a houseplant, or the books you need plus photos of where they are in the stacks, this would do the job. The only thing it can’t do is push you reminders about upcoming todos—which, to be fair, is not something in its design scope.

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.
