Launching the journal for analytically minded people

Hey everyone, I'm Jamie 👋

I recently started working on something I've wanted for a long time. It's called Big Journal. As the name suggests it's a journal but with superpowers, designed for the kind of people who track, analyse and optimise.

Here's a sneak peek at what it brings to the table.

Networked Journaling

People, places and things are all first class citizens in Big Journal. They're references using handy keyboard shortcuts such as @ and #.

Inspired by note taking apps such as Obsidian, which used to be my go to tool for daily journalling, everything relevant is linked together which generates your life graph over time.

Powerful Integrations

When I wrote my daily entry I would find myself scanning through multiple apps to gather the information I needed to reflect on my day:

• Commits in Github.

• Runs from Strava.

• Events from Google Calendar.

• Health from Fitbit.

• Finances from Monzo.

With Big Journal that isn't an issue. We simply integrate with all the tools that you care about so that when you open your journal it's already there for you to see.

AI Analytics

Our goal is to help you live a more holistic life and spot opportunities to improve. To do that we're utilising AI in two ways:

• Interactive Chat. A way to interrogate your entire life using natural language.

• Insights. Spotting interesting correlations between different aspects of your life. How the weather affects your social life? How certain people affect your productivity? Let us know which interesting ones you come up with.

And Much More...

• Mood.

• Habits.

• Travel.

• Photos.

• Milestones.

• Quotes.

• Notes.

• Links.

Check out our roadmap to see what else is on the horizon.

We're Live

I've recently soft launched Big Journal and while it's still very early you can try it out today. We'll be launch on Product Hunt in the near future as well as releasing our mobile applications: adorably called Little Journal.

Thanks for reading.
