Gold medal - Best journaling application : OpenSynaps - Score 15 / 15

OpenSynaps: The different journaling pages
OpenSynaps: The different journaling pages

With 11 different journaling pages to choose from, the OpenSynaps is very flexible. What's more, you can easily activate or deactivate these different pages to suit your needs. So it's 5/5

Here are the different journaling pages available

  • Emotional weather
  • Sleep
  • Daily routines
  • Fun activities
  • Dreams
  • Positive focus
  • Balance sheet
  • Weight
  • Power supply
  • Cravings (for tobacco)
  • Benefits of quitting (for smoking)

Then, for ease of use, it's clear and flexible. Credit to the emotional weather forecast and its pretty, ever-changing illustration! So it's also 5/5. OpenSynaps is not a journaling application in the strict sense of the term, as it also offers journaling sessions.hypnosisof sophrology and much more.

Finally, statistics are very important to me. I like to understand how I work. And here OpenSynaps goes a long way. Every day, the application provides me with a report generated by theartificial intelligence which gives me the various relationships between all my journaling data.

It's quite impressive. Below, my sleep time evolution with the different relationships. You can also see that there's a forecast for a week ahead. Really interesting!

The Reflectly interface

Very easy to use, Reflecty is an effective way of recording these different emotions. On the other hand, there's not much to it - it's really just basic journaling. Note from 2 / 5.

Statistics are included, as well as suggestions for improvement. Note from 4 / 5.

Finally, I really like the sober, clear interface. A note from 5 / 5.

I had to create an account at the beginning and I almost subscribed by mistake. You have to be careful, there are traps everywhere!

Bronze medal : MindDay - Score of 7 / 15

MindDay: What's the best journaling app? Top 3
MindDay interface

MindDay includes a journaling function, allowing you to record your emotional state every day and write down how you're feeling. Features include 2/5 because it's rather weak in terms of journaling.

As for the interface, it's a success. 4/5.

In the end, I didn't see any statistics, so it's an unfortunate oversight. 0/5.

This journaling application offers different sessions for meditation and relaxation.
