Bullet Journaling Is the Latest Trend – Here Are 5 Great Apps to Get Started
Credit: Good Notes / MediumBullet journaling has become remarkably popular lately. But in case you're not sure what I'm talking about, a Bullet Journal, or "BuJo" for short, is a system to help you become more organized by prioritizing the most important things in your life and asking yourself why they matter in your life.
Whether you want to boost your productivity or you just want to record your daily activities, having a journal can be a powerful tool to keep you focused, healthy, and happy.
You do this by writing the most essential tasks in your journal, in a short, concise way. And you don't need an actual Bullet Journal, but you do need something to write in.
However, keeping a journal with you at all times can be an inconvenience. Sometimes it's just not practical to carry around a notebook with you, even if it's a small one. Thankfully, you already have a great substitute: your iPhone.
If you want to be able to bullet journal from your iPhone, you're going to need a great app that makes the experience better for you. Continue reading to browse five of the best apps for mobile journaling.
Journey - Diary, Journal
Journey is a great app for jounraling in general. You can write regular entries, add photo entries and create entries based on your location.
One of the best features of Journey, is that the app gives you many resources for you to start journaling, for personal development, inspiration and among other topics.
And if you want to do more than just Bullet Journaling, but you don't really know what to write about, you can set up a coach that's going to give you a theme or a topic so you can start writing.

Grid Diary is one of the best iPhone Apps for Bullet Journaling. Its grid interface lets you write what's important.
You have several grids with different questions or topics about your day or life in general. You can record your daily routine, focus on your long-term goals, or if you just want to be more positive and write what you're grateful for.
It also has some useful features, like the ability to check your statistics, see your journaling timeline and even a daily quote to keep you inspired.
You can try Grid Diary for free, but if you want more features, like being able to create more than one journal, you'll have to subscribe to its membership.

You'll have almost everything you need. You can create regular entries or add photo entries as well. You can also add audio entries, but you'll need to buy the subscription to do so.
