Crow: Daily Journal2.0.0 - App Store

Some days you want to type. Some days you want to write it out by hand with a pen. Crow lets you do both - in the same entry, in whatever order the day comes out.

Write a paragraph. Sketch under it. Keep writing. Add the photo you took at lunch, the song that was on, and where you were standing. Then get on with your evening.

Crow reads your handwriting too, entirely on your iPhone or iPad, so searching finds the words you wrote with a pen - not just the ones you typed. Nothing is uploaded at all: your journal lives on your device and in your own private iCloud account, and there are no accounts and no ads.

WRITING
. Type and handwrite in the same entry, in any order
. Apple Pencil or finger, on paper you choose
. 500+ writing prompts, offline, one picked fresh each day
. Templates for the days when a blank page is the problem
. Entries save themselves as you write - a dead battery can't cost you an evening

YOUR DAY, ALREADY THERE
. Photos, places, songs, workouts and people from your day, added in a tap
. Share a link, an article or a picture into Crow from any app
. Automatic location, or pick the place yourself

LOOKING BACK
. Mood through the year, words written, and a calendar of every day you wrote
. A map of everywhere you've written from
. Entries brought back from a year ago, and from the ones you'd forgotten
. Goals, if you like that sort of thing, with a quiet nudge when you're keeping one

IT'S YOUR JOURNAL, SO YOU CAN TAKE IT
. Export a PDF laid out for reading and printing, handwriting and photos in place
. Markdown for other apps, or a complete backup Crow can restore
. Import from other apps, Markdown or plain text - free, and always will be
. Or scan a paper notebook and let Crow read the pages

KEPT PRIVATE
. Lock it with Face ID
. Blur previews so the timeline isn't readable over anyone's shoulder
. Delete everything, properly, whenever you like
