Description
Yup, you found it! This is THE journaling app. You have it all, fast journaling, moods, habits, interests, daily/weekly ratings and reviews, all on your Life Calendar. In one word, PERSPECTIVE - providing greater Insights and Self-reflection since March!
We designed the journaling experience as a conversation between your "future self" and your "past self", text message style, only more honest. The main focus of the app is to help you:
• Practice mindfulness and increase self-awareness
• Learn and gain perspective from past experiences
• Understand what things are most important to you
• Increase your mental health, enhance the feeling of well-being, and become happier
• Develop the ability to put things into context as they happen
Perspective is completely free and 100% private.

Testimonials (from our awesome Beta users)

"I really do love this app so far. I have always struggled with the use of these types of apps, but I can totally see myself continuing to use this." -Hannah
"I really like the experience so far. I think it's an awesome idea and could really be helpful to a lot of people." -Kelsea O'Brien
"It's a great App. I'm loving it!!" -Tania Martins
"I have always loved the notion of journaling, but I have found that keeping the habit and making it meaningful can be a challenge. Perspective has been a game-changer for me. Daily and weekly prompts help keep my goals for journaling on the front burner, while journaling prompts give me ideas on days when I am feeling less than inspired." -Jenine Ziemann Sansosti
"I love the way journaling feels almost as if I am sending someone a message, as if there is someone on the other end." -Helen
"I'm loving everything about this app. This fills the void in journaling that I've been craving - a journal of my thoughts without cramping my hand from writing it out." -Ria
"This app is incredible. I truly think it's a wonderful way to journal." -Ashley Ann
"The new weekly review is amazing. The way your interests are categorized by color, each day is represented not by words but emotions, and you can clearly assess your week as an overview all from a small, simple, color coded view is brilliant. Well done!" -Caroline Hagär
"Set up was really easy - and so far I am just blown away with the things I can track with this app. I have struggled to use my Bullet Journal and may have to find another use for the leather TN's I have purchased. This app so far is incredible." -Melanie Tash

Principally, daily diary entries can be viewed across a timeline we call your 'life calendar' containing all the weeks in your life. This is something that no other free notebook can provide, paper or digital... your life at a glance.
From day one, viewing your position in life allows you to put things into context. Namely, how you've chosen to spend time so far, and your intentions for the future.
Your daily journal entries made in the context of the bigger picture are more insightful, but are enhanced further by nifty ways to indicate your mood, your gratitude with time spent doing the things you love, and 'insights' about past events that make for great reading in retrospect.
It's very common to see folks keep a daily diary for a couple of weeks then stop. We recognize it can be hard when looking at the blank page of a journal notebook to come up with something insightful. But Perspective sets out to address the greatest barrier to successful, longterm journalling, that's why we added 'inspiration questions' for those times when we just can't think of anything to say, yet need to practice journaling to establish the habit.
Speaking of habits, we added 'Interests' for those wishing to track repetitive tasks, goals or habits.
A simple clean interface, flexible enough to accommodate fast journaling, note taking, or bullet lists, and built with obsessive attention to detail.

Free, Simple and Reliable
I want a diary of daily events that is not on social media and this fits the bill. I am sure it won't be free forever and, actually, my satisfaction has lead me to donate some $$$. It is easy to use and not drawn out. They seem to have ideas on the way and solicit feedback from users as to which additions people want first. Cloud backup and being able to print this is some condensed form would be great.
Another factor in taking the chance on this is the straightforward replies to reviews and complaints I read. One person complained that the use of three emojis was childish to sum up a day. The reply was a kind, "We don't agree with you and here is why....." And I feel three emojis, three colors, three whatever's to say it was a bad, ok or good day does the job. The developers write back when you write to them with a brief query. Nice.
The daily quotes, questions to get you writing and reminders to write (you set those up) are a nice touch. Being able to keep track of interests you are pursuing daily makes you face whether or not you are doing so. There is positive message in the morning pop on the phone.
The weekly recap gets you thinking about what you did well during the week and what you can change to make things better. And you can upload pics.
I hope this helps you make an informed decision as rambling as it is.
This is truly an awesome app
I started using this app in April to help me monitor my Rheumatoid Disease by keeping track of pain levels, stressors, foods, etc., so I have something to show my doctors. Since it's very hard for me to hold a writing implement the "old style" journals just don't cut it. I also like the ability to go back to a previous day and write what happened. Because face it, not all of us can, or will write something at the end of each day. I enjoy the inspirational quotes. The questions you can answer give me insight to how I feel/felt that day and prompt me to write about things I wouldn't have included otherwise.
I recently found that Perspective aided me with the grief I was feeling over finding out a dear friend is undergoing treatment for cancer.
To the Devs, The dinner and drinks are on me. When I become a millionaire I will definitely donate more, but I'm one of many who live pay check to pay check and it's not because I live above my means. I've never spent/given money online and can't believe the first time is for an app., but I am truly grateful for this one. I had already told a co-worker about this app and just told my sister. Keep up the awesome work. Sending positive thoughts of Health, Happiness and Prosperity to all of you.
love the concepts within the app
My friend recommended this app to me because she knows that I've been texting myself throughout the day as a form of journalling! this app is such a good fit for me, and I find that journalling in this fashion makes collecting your thoughts much easier. I love that I can shoot off on-the-go thoughts and ideas and observations (just like texting myself) and have it all collected together as a "journal" of sorts... without the pressure of feeling like I have to write a long diary entry.
Of course, this app has such a nice design and lovely features that texting myself doesn't have. I especially like the insights feature and I've found that this is something I've been seeking from a journalling app for a long time without knowing it! If I want to go back and write thoughts about an older entry in other apps, it typically ends up looking cluttered & doesn't achieve the effect I want. And of course, I am unable to write insights directly on old texts I've sent to myself. This is a very nice feature.
I also saw another reviewer's request for the app to be made more accessible, and I second that request. They gave some good suggestions and I hope the developers do address accessibility in display.
