I’ve kept a personal journal every single day for years and years. I’ve used all the journaling apps on iOS and wanted something a little different than what is available. Other apps are either too complicated, they don’t feel like an iOS app, they’re expensive, they don’t sync or are yet another 3rd party to trust with your data. I decided it was time I made the journaling app I’ve always wanted.

I’m so happy to announce that Written Down is available now!

Simple Beauty

Written Down is designed to feel at home and familiar on iOS. We keep it clean and uncluttered, but there is power to discover just below the surface. Pick your own journal colors, icons, and backgrounds. Choose different app themes, colors and typography to make Written Down beautifully yours. As we add more features in the future we won’t let the app get complicated, bloated and confusing to use.

Sync via iCloud

Written Down syncs securely across your devices via iCloud using Apple CloudKit which is great and fast. You already trust Apple with other important data and this way no one else has access to it, including us. Also, Written Down allows you to collaboratively share private journals via iCloud with any other iOS users. It’s wonderful to share memories, history and keep track of almost anything using a private journal together.

Just Right

Written Down is free for a single journal on a single device with all the features you need to keep a journal. You can create unlimited entries enriched with photos, time & date, location and tags so you can search and browse your memories. Upgrade to Premium for a low yearly price to get unlimited journals, sync, collaboration, themes, weather and more.

Download Written Down now for free in the App Store for iPhone & iPad.

We’re a small developer, there’s just two of us at Tinkerbuilt, but we’ve been developing for iOS since 2008. We have a lot more planned for Written Down. We’re working on a Mac app and support for Markdown formatting right now. This is just a beginning!
