Great app that does what it says it does. Lightweight, easy to use, and very few rough edges. It would be nice to have a few shortcut actions available in order to "send things to Journelly" but the app is good enough for daily use even without that. Pro tip: open the URL "journelly://new" (for example from an iOS shortcut) to jump directly into creating a new note.

I'm trying to learn how to use the org format to organise my projects and this app is great because its interface and usability make it less intimidating. To the developer: 🙏 Please allow the *️⃣ character to be used, even if it does not recognise it as a header. Maybe there could be a check in Options to enable ignoring the asterisks?

Not sure about the experience when using iCloud but with Dropbox everything leads to conflicting files being saved. It’s unusable!

I happened to stumble upon this after using the wonderful Org Plain app and a few Reddit posts and I’m glad I did. Journelly lets me utilize syncing between devices and capturing thoughts on the go, including checklists, lists, photos and more. The fact that it’s also stored in org markup is fantastic; I can easily put this into my workflow for further refinement later if I choose. It would be great if we could add headlines to give emphasis inside of a journal entry, but other than that I’m super happy and am already thinking of ways to incorporate this into my workflow. One that popped into my head while I’m writing this is tagging posts with #public, and then automating posting those posts to social media potentially, while keeping the rest for my eyes only. Or tagging it with a #filename and having it write to my denote file that contains the same name

Sharing notes (ideas, urls, todo stuff, ….) between my iPad and my Linux laptop could not be simpler (I am also using Synctrain, to sync the directory with the file). Configuration is straightforward, using it is intuitive (and great looking), and Emacs org users will feel at home. Totally worth the price.

Would really like it if the app allowed to upload videos as posts too!

Au début, je ne pensais pas beaucoup utiliser Journelly, je l'avais téléchargé pour des raisons techniques, mais après une semaine d'utilisation, c'est devenu ma principale source de notes, de todos, et de journaling. C'est un plaisir à utiliser, ridiculement simple comparé aux alternatives, et infiniment ré-utilisable. Journelly + iCloud + relire ses notes sur MacOS, c'est un changement qui en vaut la peine !

I’ve been using Journelly for 3 weeks, and love how easy it is to capture fleeting thoughts. It’s also easy to share text to other apps. So cool that I can access the Journelly.org file on my Mac! Edited to add: Journelly has been the app I’ve turned to during a hard time in my family. It’s helping me navigate grief by providing a safe, plain text way to record feelings and events.

Besides the peace of mind the app provides by storing my data in plain-text it is also a delight to use due to the well designed user experience.
