The daily journal app for iPhone
One line is a whole entry.
A daily journal that only asks for one line. Type it or say it out loud, add a face for how it felt, and keep your lists and plans in Notes, right beside it.
Free to start. For iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
One line a day
One line a day
is enough.
A line takes about a minute, so it fits into a busy day. Write how the day went. If you want to keep going, keep going. If one line is all you have, that is a whole entry.
A fresh question sits at the top when you want one. Tap Another question for a new one, or Write without one.
The lines add up. Weeks later they are a record of what you did and how it felt, in your own words.
Write it your way
Type it, say it,

Every Sunday
Your week, in five
short cards.
On Sunday your week is ready on Today, in five short cards. It is a quiet look back at what you did and how it felt.
A day counts when you do your step or write a note, and the days you have shown up never go down. Rest days, pause and mending are built in. Reminders come only at the times you pick.
Writing earns its own badges: notes, words written, faces picked and evening notes.

Questions
Questions about the journal
What is a one-line-a-day journal?
A journal where one line is a whole entry. It fits a busy day, and the lines add up. In Yumemira a line can sit next to the step you did that day.
Can I use it just as a journal, without a goal?
Yes. Write a line about your day with a face or photos, or say it out loud, without setting a goal. Notes hold your lists, plans and ideas.
Can I journal by voice on iPhone?
Yes. Say it out loud instead of typing. Yumemira uses speech recognition on your iPhone, and the recording stays with the note, on your iPhone. It is not uploaded to Yumemira.
How do the faces work?
Each note can have a face for how it felt: Great, Okay, So-so, Worried or Hard. Every face is fine, and hard days count too. The mood chart is free and shows how your days felt.
How many photos can I add?
Up to six per note.
Can I keep lists and checklists?
Yes. Notes sit right beside your journal. Type - for a list or [] for a checkbox and it tidies itself as you type. Add #tags, pins, photos, files and recordings. A deleted note stays in Recently deleted for 30 days.
Can I export my journal?
Yes. Settings › Backup saves your journal and notes as a file you keep, and a note can be exported as Markdown or plain text. Both are free. With Pro you can also export notes as a PDF or a picture.
Is my journal private?
Your journal, notes, photos and voice notes are stored on your iPhone and are not uploaded to Yumemira. There is no account, no ads and no cross-app tracking. The only thing that leaves your iPhone is the short description you approve when you ask for an optional goal picture.
What happens if I change or lose my iPhone?
There is no sync between devices today. Your iPhone's iCloud Backup includes your journal when it is on, and Settings › Backup saves your journal and notes as a file you can keep in Files, iCloud Drive or on a computer, then bring back with Add from a backup.
Can I lock my journal with Face ID?
Yes, with Pro: a passcode or Face ID opens the app, and the lock covers Notes too.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing is lost. Your days shown up never go down: a day counts when you do your step or write a note. Rest days are built in, you can pause a goal, and you can mend a missed day once every 30 days.
