Great Story! I had tested both Day One and Stoic when Apple Journal came out in 2023. Back then I was drawn to Stoic more than the other two - the UI was minimalistic and as you pointed out, easy for beginners with all its journaling prompts. Since I didn’t want to spend money on a journaling app back then I stuck to Apple’s Journal (please don’t judge me 😅).
However, I have been thinking of switching to a better journaling app. I will probably start with Stoic since its the cheaper alternative and make my way to Day One just like you 🤞
Thanks for sharing your experience, Manav!
