Calm Journal is a minimalistic journal that engages users with a guided question. The questions are designed to be introspective and allows one to reflect on their day.
Problem
I found myself finding it harder and harder to really just be in the moment. In trying to search for answers on how to resolve this, I realized that this was a problem becoming more and more prevalent in our day and age.
Guided and reflective journaling may be a key way for people to not just be in the moment, but also greatly help people’s mental health.
The Solution: 1 Day, 1 Question
My goal in making this app is to give people an outlet to express their thoughts and emotions, and to also be reflective on their day. A way to combine this goal while keeping in mind the business of our day to day lives is clear - 1 Day, 1 Question. Every day, every user will get the same exact guiding question designed to make you reflective on your day.

Completely free:No subscriptions needed to keep journaling, no fees, nothing. This app will remain free forever and always, as the goal is not to make money, but to provide a meditative space.
