Journey
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.
