  Best Journaling App Ever

  I find myself being able to journal almost every day now with the app. I am 50 years old I am set in my ways I love the smell of paper and I love the way the pen flows and I love to see the ink marks on my hand. But in this busy world that we are in I don’t get time to fully write what I want to write whereas this way I’m actually not even writing when I’m journaling I get to talk and express my thoughts through words with the app. The guides that they offer wonderful for when you just wanna journal about something the insides are amazing the membership is invaluable and the community of people are just amazing people get the app become a part of the community you will not regret it.

  Set Sail!

  I journal so that my present self might better preserve and profit from past challenges and aspirations and thus more ably chart and change course to a better and more intentional future self. I also write for my grandchildren’s children so that we might chat and they might sail past some of the reefs and shoals I’ve encountered in my explorations. More than just a chronicler of the quotidien, the Holstee Reflection app allows me to navigate as well as log my journey, be it under full canvas or tacking into strong headwinds, through curated reviews, gentle yet demanding promptings, and expanded options to illustrate as well as write. Experienced, procrastinating, struggling, and novice journalers alike will find safe harbors and stout winds herein.

  Elegant design, privacy-first approach?

  Thank you for creating this app. I just downloaded it today and the thoughtful interface design really stands out! In the FAQ (“Are my entries private and secure?”), it was helpful to know that journal entries are transmitted through SSL and encrypted when stored in your database. As mentioned in the FAQ though, no system is 100% safe from breaches. It’s neat that there is already some protection through anonymity/encryption, and it would be great to see the app take a privacy-first approach which avoids sending sensitive user-generated data in the first place if possible. Are there plans to do so in the future? For example: 1. Journal entries - since this content isn’t needed for the mentioned use cases (“notifications, analytics, and customer support”), could you skip the trip to the external database and only keep the content locally on the device? 2. diagnostic data - have the device continue to send de-identified data (e.g., count of journal entries, length of each entry, indicator for whether a photo loaded successfully or not) which are needed for app development and customer support. Thanks for considering!

  Looking for a way to start journaling?

  This app is great. I recently started journaling and I do like to actually write in my journals but it's nice to switch it up sometimes and type instead. At least I really like to do that. I love the layout, the theme, the prompts. I don't know about y'all but when I used to think about writing, I would panic because I had no idea where to start.. I would think I needed to start the way I would begin a high school essay or english paper, every. single. time. Wasn't until recently, I decided to break that habit and free write. This app defintely helped me do that.

  Smooth user experience

  The Holstee Reflection app is where I jot down the many thoughts I have throughout the day about life, leadership, helping others, being the best person I can be, etc. By putting them in the Reflection app, I allow the thought to pass through my brain, and I can move on to the next thought. The user interface lets me see a lot of my recent posts at a glance, so I can look over what I've been thinking about lately. It's also just so easy to use and easy to look at. It's my favorite app for recording my thoughts.
