Journal, a new iPhone app available, helps users reflect and practice gratitude through journaling, which has been shown to improve wellbeing.
With Journal, users can capture and write about everyday moments and special events in their lives, and include photos, videos, audio recordings, locations, and more to create rich memories.
On-device machine learning provides private, personalized suggestions to inspire journal entries, and customizable notifications help users develop their writing habits.
With the new Journaling Suggestions API, third-party journaling apps can also suggest moments for users to write about. Journal and the Journaling Suggestions API are available with the release of iOS 17.2.
“We are excited to bring the benefits of journaling to more people,”
said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
“Journal makes it easy to preserve rich and powerful memories, and practice gratitude by intelligently curating information that is personal to the user, right from their iPhone. And we’re making it possible for other journaling apps to offer the same personalized suggestions while maintaining the highest level of privacy.”
