Morning Pages – Daily Journal

this app has been amazing for my adhd. i have a hard time sticking with anything, but i have a streak of 32 consecutive days journaling so far. i love the simple interface so i can’t get distracted making too many changes. i love the private mode and the stats about how much i write. the only issue is that sometimes when i switch from portrait to landscape on my ipad, the calendar dates end up far in the past or far in the future. but i would recommend this app to anyone.

I have a modest daily goal of 500 words. I use this as my minimum, always aiming for 1000 words if I can. I like the calendar in this app and the insights, but the typing experience leaves much to be desired. 1. Spell check is distracting and not always correct, sometimes highlighting half of a word. 2. Cursor positioning will randomly change to the middle of the screen (possibly as a result of the auto-scrolling feature that I've seen others write about). This creates a real disturbance in my writing flow. I typically have to undo several times to get back a selection of text that I have overwritten as a result of this cursor movement (which apparently is also selecting a bunch of text). This application is almost there, but I expect the writing experience to be as perfect as can be. I don't know if I will be able to continue using this application if this is not addressed soon. If anyone out there knows of some settings in the MacOS that might be adjusted to improve this, I would love to know!

This app is a lifesaver! I used to struggle with racing thoughts and anxiety in the mornings, but Morning Pages has helped me tremendously. The simple act of writing down whatever comes to mind for a few minutes each day has made a huge difference in my mental clarity and overall well-being. What sets this app apart is its incredible analysis feature. It not only tracks your word count to help you reach your daily goal (3 pages for me!), but it also provides a detailed breakdown of your writing. It identifies recurring topics, highlights emotional content (even telling you the percentage of negative words!), and tracks your mood based on the sentiment of your writing. I've gained so much insight into my thoughts and feelings that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Plus, it's super private with double password protection, which gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Love the title and logo of this app. I love the simplicity. I find it especially special to have the emotions and topic tracker. I like to push for certain attitudes and perhaps I want to shoot for being gracious. I am honest so I can get the most out of understanding my feelings. Sometimes I get on to write at the end of my day and sometimes I am joyful, sometimes I am lost, sometimes im overwhelmed, or sometimes I am lost. In asking myself questions, I can better understand my thoughts. So I really love this app. I come to it when I feel all sorts of ways <3

You advertise as a free site, then you reveal that you lied. I am currently going through a very hatd time. I lost my job and didn't qualify for unemployment. So I haven't had any income since May of 24. Please remove all of my information including my email from your database.

I've tried a lot of journal and good tracking apps, but this one has to be my favorite. I like the analysis it gives based off of your own words rather than a series of multiple choice questions. Like another review said, I wish the app had more things to analyze, like mbti type, as well as using the app's pattern recognition to highlight potential problem areas one might be facing based on the writing. Overall, I really like this app. I sincerely hope that the developers further enhance the AI I believe it is the primary selling point of the software.

Well? goodbye Morning Pages. I'm horrified you've decided to shove "AI" into this app. I've been using it for years happily but now I don't trust you or have any confidence in my data being secure on your app anymore. I now have to tell everyone I recommended this to why I will be moving off this and back to manually journaling in a secure app with no LLM functions. You really ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Why would you ruin a perfectly good app? Embarrassing and invasive. I'm disgusted, frankly.

This app has single handedly revolutionized my morning pages process. I love it. I have my goal set to write 1000 words and let me tell you, writing 1000 words before breakfast goes a long way for my brain. Thank you to the dev team, I love this app so much!

I love this app. It's simple and it just lets me write all my thoughts out. The badges are cute, although I wish there were more. But lately, it's been super glitchy. Once I get close to 200 words, it keeps moving my cursor up to the middle of whatever I'm writing. And half the time I don't notice it until I've written like a whole sentence and I have to fix it. Then once I do it does it again after a few letters. I've checked by typing really slowly, restarting the app, and tried to just keep typing but it still does it. It's really annoying and I usually type more than 200 words so if you could fix it it would be much appreciated.

Such a relief to find something that syncs between my computer and phone. I was having trouble keeping the routine of physically writing. Mainly because it's a lot to write and my mind and thoughts move to fast. I still write out some journal items but this is perfect for daily.
