- Journelly is a new note-taking app available on the App Store, combining elements from note-taking, journaling, and social media apps.
- The app is designed to minimize friction, making it easy to add and search for notes, with a social-media-like feed for browsing.
- Privacy is a priority; Journelly is offline by default, described as 'tweeting but for your eyes only'.
- It supports various use-cases, from journaling to grocery lists, without forcing users to choose between different apps.
- Journelly uses Org markup for entries (with Markdown support coming soon) and stores notes in plain text for longevity.
- Optional iCloud sync is available, though third-party syncing methods like Working Copy can also be used.
- Entries can be categorized using hashtags, which are actionable for quick searches.
- The app avoids ads, tracking, and bloat, focusing on user privacy and open formats.
- Nearly 300 TestFlight testers contributed feedback, with many feature requests deferred for future updates.
- Journelly is part of the LMNO.lol ecosystem, which also includes a Markdown-powered blogging service.
