We believe that journaling is an important source of self-care and internal stability in a chaotic world. Through journaling we can develop self-awareness, reflect on our experiences, and express gratitude for our lives. Past journal entries give us a glimpse into our past selves. We can see how we’ve grown and changed over the months and years.
We wanted to build a simple app to help others journal. But we were tired of “free” online services that spam users with ads and sell their data behind their backs. And we didn’t want investors pressuring us to hit unreasonable usage and revenue targets. We wanted to build a lasting and simple product that is used because it is loved.
That’s why we founded LucidLogs. We are an anti-social media company. Your journal entries are private and you own your data. We don’t sell ads, and we don’t take outside money (see pricing). If you want to stop using our service at any point, you can download your journal entries and delete them from our servers. But we hope that you stick with it. We hope that LucidLogs helps you build a strong journaling routine and brings some clarity to your day 🙂.
“I will keep constant watch over myself and—most usefully—will put each day up for review. For this is what makes us evil—that none of us looks back upon our own lives. We reflect upon only that which we are about to do. And yet our plans for the future descend from the past.”
― Seneca
“The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.”
― Virginia Woolf
“Journaling is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time.”
― Mina Murray
“I don’t journal to ‘be productive.’ I don’t do it to find great ideas or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren’t intended for anyone but me. It’s the most cost-effective therapy I’ve ever found.”
― Tim Ferriss
