I am an analog-first human being. There are cases when I don't have my paper journal with me or I need more insight into data that I've captured over time. This is where compute comes in handy. I thought there were already too many habit tracking apps but it turned out I needed to build one myself. One that would allow me to glance at my balance and track Apple Health data directly from the wrist.

Why would anyone build an inbox app for Apple Watch? My use-case is very simple: I have an analog journaling routine and I needed to solve cases when I don't have paper journal with me. The app allows me to dictate thoughts on the go, or track my paper journaling time into Apple Health. There may be someone who could find momentary emotion tracking useful too so I built that as well.

I created Joex because most journaling apps push for keeping everything digital, but I believe our thoughts belong on paper. Joex helps you capture ideas on the go, stores them temporarily, and then lets you seamlessly transfer them to your paper journal, where they truly belong.
