Take note of life with Chronicle, a simple journaling app that offers more than bound sheets without overcomplicating the writing experience.

Focused writing. Multiple photos per entry that you can move, resize, rotate - your words flow around them. A recent New York Magazine article cites research showing people experienced improvement in "physical and mental well-being. They were happier, less depressed and less anxious" after writing about emotional or stressful events for a few days.

Start writing more, today. Reliable storage, autosave, and passcode lock protect your words; share or read them on your computer with PDF, text, and email export. You can also create backups and save them to other apps such as Dropbox, Drive, and Evernote.

Your journal will never run out of pages, but you can manage different topics or years in separate journals with the notebooks add-on.

Take a break from social networks. Write comfortably knowing you can find anything you wrote with built-in search. Search results include relevant snippets of text so you can easily find the exact entry you’re looking for.

According to a Harvard Business School paper, taking 15 minutes to reflect on your work at end of the workday can boost job performance (the studys journaling group performed 22.8% better on a test than the control group that simply continued working).

Start keeping a journal or diary. Organize chapters for a novel. Jot down notes and ideas. You can always export what you’ve written for safekeeping.

Pros and cons of Chronicle - A Personal Journal / Writing Diary app for iPhone and iPad

Chronicle - A Personal Journal / Writing Diary app good for

This app is real great journal app. I really recommend it for simple and quick notes taking. Export to Google apps is a+. Would only suggest that the text be reorganized automatically around the pictures when dragging them and add a search functionality. Very effective otherwise.
Great app. Very helpful & responsive developer! Thank you, Steven for answering all my questions. And thank you for adding the "text only backup" feature!
like the possibility of different books. itd be useful if one could drag entries from one book to another & if itd be possible to write in bold letters, too...
This App is really cool. The layout for it is very organized and it is visually appealing. I love this App because you can lock it, I needed somewhere to store my passwords and this is Perfect.
Searched for a decent journal app and this one is perfect. Allows you to bring in photos too!
Awesome app. Only think I would change would be the option to geo-tag entries so that you can see where your travels have taken you. (If you are a traveller).

Some bad moments

Serious export problems: You can prepare a nice layout with photos, by scaling and rotate the photos. By the synchronisation, the layout is not remain. The date and the time are not transfered by the sync. By Export to Google Docs its not possible to choose an Entry. The App is export all entries like a list, without layout and without photos. The writing is very poor. No possibilities to change the color of the text, to underline etc. There are ony to sizes for the text. Its not possible to have different sizes in an entry. Change the "backround color" is only possible for the decor, not for the sheet. Simply: Very bad!!!
It worked a total of three times now it is just a black page with a lock on it! I wanted to keep my journal on here
Do not waste your money on this. Very confusing to use. Crashes on my iphone all the time. When syncing between ipad and iphone you get multiple entries as the import does not over write it simply adds. During experimentation I ended up with 6 identical entries. Probably great for some but not for me. Very upset that I wasted my money buying the app for both my phone and ipad to discover that it is a pain to use, crashes and gets very cluttered with duplicate entries.
Very-very slow development process. If you wish some lacking feature, it will be added after forever.
