A private place for your days. Write, add photos and voice notes, log a mood, tag a place — and find it all again in a timeline, a calendar and a page of insights.
Coming SoonFree to download. Stored on your device. Yours to export.
For iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later.
Prism Journal Everyday takes the things people love about the best-known journaling apps — a beautiful timeline, photos and voice notes, moods, prompts, streaks, On This Day — and removes the things their reviews complain about: paywalled photos and journals, a cloud you have to trust, clumsy backdating, no font control, and exports that are hard to use. Everything is stored on your device, and everything you write can leave with you.
Everything in one entry — text, photos, voice, mood, tags and place.
A habit, gently — streaks, prompts, templates and a daily reminder.
Private by design — on-device storage, Face ID lock, full export.
A clean editor with live formatting — headings, bold, italic, bullets, numbered lists, checklists, quotes and dividers. Lists continue as you type. Entries are saved as plain Markdown, so they read well anywhere, and you can pick your typeface and text size.
Unlimited photos per entry with captions and reordering, voice notes transcribed on your device so they are searchable, a five-step mood check-in and a place tag with a small map. Camera, library, microphone and location are each optional.
Backdate an entry with one tap, or open the calendar — coloured by mood — and write about any day. Streaks count the day you write about, not the day you open the app, so catching up on yesterday keeps the chain alive.
As many journals as you like, each with its own colour and icon. Tags, favourites, and search across titles, text, transcripts, captions, places and tags. Filter by mood, tag, photos, voice notes, places or a date range. On This Day surfaces earlier years.
A prompt of the day and a library of more than 90 prompts across gratitude, reflection, growth, relationships, creativity, mindfulness, goals, memories and fun. Templates for Morning Pages, Three Good Things, the Five-Minute Journal, Weekly Review, Dream Log, Travel Log, Decision Journal and more.
For the last 30 days, 90 days, year or all time: streaks, entries, words, average mood, mood over time, a writing-days grid, mood by weekday, when you tend to write, top tags and journals.
Entries, photos and voice notes are stored on your device. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode and choose how quickly it relocks. No account, nothing to sign in to, and the app makes no network requests of its own.
Back up your whole journal to a single file you can save to Files or iCloud Drive and restore anywhere — restore merges, so nothing is duplicated. Export any journal as Markdown or a paginated PDF with your photos. Import a Day One JSON export, photos and voice notes included.
"Write in Prism Journal" opens a new entry, "Add to my Prism Journal" saves text without opening the app, and "Log my mood" records how you feel. Built on App Intents, so it works wherever Shortcuts do.
Journaling only works if it is easy to start and easy to keep. So the editor opens in a tap, formatting happens as you type, photos and voice notes go straight into the entry, and the calendar makes it just as easy to write about last Tuesday as about today.
And because a journal is the most personal thing on your phone, it lives on your phone — with a lock, a backup file you control, and Markdown and PDF exports that read well outside the app.
Anyone keeping a diary, a gratitude practice, a travel log, a mood record, morning pages or a work journal — and anyone leaving another journaling app who wants to bring their entries with them. Import a Day One export and keep going.
Entries, photos and voice notes are stored on your device. There is no account, no sign-in and no server component; the app makes no network requests of its own. Voice-note transcription uses on-device speech recognition when the device supports it.
Backups and exports are created on your device and go only where you send them. Read the full privacy policy.
