What free actually covers

Apple Journal is the clearest case: fully free typed journaling from Apple. Most other journaling apps use a free tier that limits entries, prompts, or features until you subscribe.

We make Journal Party. It guides handwritten sessions with prompts, a timer and music, and the writing happens in your own journal, so a notebook and a pen are all you need to write.
