Apple Journal drops with the latest iOS 17.2 update. It's designed to help get you started in practicing journalling. Definitely will try this out as I'm aiming to journal a lot more in 2024
I upvoted this earlier when it wasn't listed as an apple product? Anyway, now I know who made it, I still like it :)
I don't presume this will kill Day One, but it certainly will give them a run for their money... which is now Automattic's money, so I guess they're fine?
I'm amused that Journal's suggested writing prompts included both my ex and ex-wife. Ouch.
A very shy iteration with a lot of things still lacking, like an iPad/MacOS version.
I'm not sure that having a journal and a phone-only approach is the best way to take care of one's mental health, gonna stick to Day One for now. 👌🏻
Apple has a magical way of making things like this feel simple enough to make a habit.

Who hunted Apple Journal?
Apple Journal was hunted by Aaron O'Leary. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
