A journal you can just talk to
Say what's on your mind and it's written down. Flip back through your days like a paper notebook.
Most journals end up empty
You buy the nice notebook or download the app, write for a week, and then life gets busy. Sitting down to write takes time you don't have at the end of the day.
With Flipnotes you don't have to sit down. Say a few sentences on a walk or on the bus and they're written out for you. Type a line when something happens. Add a photo. It all goes on today's page, and Flipnotes files the personal things under Diary Entries and Thoughts.
Talk instead of writing
Tap the mic and say what's on your mind. The words appear while you speak and the recording is kept, so you can hear how you sounded that day.
A voice note runs up to 2 minutes on Personal and 5 on Pro.
Your diary, without the shopping lists
Your journal lives in the same notebook as everything else, but it doesn't get mixed up. Open Diary Entries and you see only those, newest first. Thoughts has the things you were thinking about.
Run into your old entries
Roll the dice opens a random note from your past. Tap again for another one. It's the closest thing to opening an old notebook at a random page.
It sorts your entries for you
Flipnotes reads every entry as you save it and files it: Diary Entries for what happened, Thoughts for what's on your mind, and other categories like Sports & Fitness when they fit.
