What is Grid Diary App?

Grid Diary is an easy-to-use journal app that people tend to like for prompt-based journalling.

What is that? And how can I use it? Well, Grid Diary allows you to add entries, but also allows you to set-up templates (even with recommendations) of recommended journal prompts, this could be like "What is the best thing that happened to you today?" to help you start off your writing.

Many people like this format of helping you kick off your writing as it gets out the way of your mental blocks when writing, but it also allows you to add a more structured system to your journal, rather than ramblings (which is super common) for those who journal.

Pros:

• Grid layout - The grid layout offers a different experience for journaling, something you might like if you don't enjoy the traditional method. This allows you to see everything at a glance in one square space.
• Prompts - Prompts are for lazy, but smart people and helpful when journaling, it helps you kick things off and you can customise the prompts for each square in the grid.
• Markdown - Grid Diary also uses Markdown, so you can edit the text, preview text, add images and more. This gives you more control and customization over your diary entries, and it's fun.
• Tags - You can organise your entries with tags so you can then search for tags and see what you have written, for example, you can tag workout reflections with #gym so you can reflect on your progress.

Cons:

• Space - If you already enjoy journaling you might like using a whole page or seeing an entire page, with Grid Diary it's just squares so you can't see all your writing, it's all made a lot smaller.
• Bullet points - Most of the time the prompts require bullet points, you dont always need to write in-depth entries about your day. So if you want to write pages and pages about your feelings, you might want to try a different tool.

What does Grid Diary do?

It's a simple tool with a fun and interactive way to begin journaling. You can also use stickers and templates, create multiple journals, and write in the Markdown editor.

Grid Diary is for anyone who wants to journal. Thanks to the prompts inside each square, it's especially great for anyone who doesn't know where to start. It's also a quick and easy way to begin logging how you feel, expressing gratitude, and just, in general, using a diary.

Who is Grid Diary best for?

We like Grid Diary. It's great for anyone who wants an easy way to journal and create a habit of journaling. The week, month, and year view is also great for setting goals and working towards achievements. So, if you want to look forward, it's a great app.

If you aren't feeling up to trying Grid Diary, you might like these apps.

• Timestripe also gives the ability to plan ahead, it kind of works more like a task manager, but you can also keep notes in there.
• Day One is good if you want more space to write journal entries and add more features to each page such as locations, weather and web clippings.
