Journal

Take a moment to reflect on your day. Capture and write about the details of everyday moments and special events using photos, videos, audio recordings, places, your state of mind, and more. Journaling suggestions make it easy to remember your daily experiences—so you can add them to your journal and never have to start with a blank page. And with the new Insights view with streaks it’s easy to keep track of your journaling goals.
