DailyBean vs Journey

DailyBean is a journal and mood-tracking app from DailyBean, based in Seoul, South Korea. It is available on iOS and Android and lets you record a day by tapping mood and activity icons rather than writing long entries. An entry can combine text, photos, sleep time, exercise, a song of the day, step count, and menstruation details. You can edit icons and entry blocks, then apply themes to the calendar. Personal analysis reports show mood patterns and how parts of a day relate to them. DailyBean says it can synchronize health data, reducing manual entry. Records are stored with your account and can be retrieved by signing in on another device. The maker says records are private and securely stored unless you choose to share them, and a passcode can lock the app. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one photo daily, Basic Analysis, and Device Sync. Premium Pass has no listed price and allows three photos daily, In-depth Analysis, ad-free use, sync on up to five devices, and 180 Clovers.

Journey is a journaling app for recording entries with photos, videos, audio, GIFs, and music. It supports offline access, search and filters, and end-to-end encryption for journal data. Privacy options include a passcode and device biometrics. You can collaborate in shared journals or share selected entries through links that open in a browser. Prompts, templates, and more than 60 guided coach programs cover reflection, self-improvement, healthy living, and planning; Odyssey AI can answer questions about life patterns, moods, and progress toward goals. Journey connects with Google Places, Apple Maps, Apple Health, Zapier, email, and WhatsApp. Free use is available indefinitely. Annual membership is $4.17 per month, billed annually, and includes 10GB of cloud storage, 5,000 entries, and up to 20 media files per entry. Membership works across Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, web, Chrome OS, and Linux. After cancellation, access lasts until the next payment is due; cancelled subscriptions are not refunded.
