What do you think? …

Love the concept of "journaling without the pressure."

Drawing feels so much lighter than writing.

How long did it take to build this?

Li Yuxuan
Hey Friends! I built Joodle because I kept wanting to journal, but never stuck with it. Writing felt heavy. Photos felt noisy. I wanted something lighter—something that took seconds, not commitment. One small doodle a day felt doable. Almost playful. And over time, those tiny drawings became a surprisingly honest record of my life. Joodle is my attempt to make journaling feel less like a task and more like a quiet daily ritual. No art skills, no pressure, no accounts—just draw what mattered today and move on. Watching a year slowly fill up with imperfect little sketches turned out to be incredibly meaningful for me. I hope Joodle helps others capture their days gently, imperfectly, and privately—one doodle at a time. I’d love to hear what you think, and I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out 🫶

@li_yuxuan Hey! How do you help users reflect on or rediscover meaning over time: looking back on weeks or months of doodles, without turning Joodle into a heavy analytics or “memory feed” experience?

Li Yuxuan
@malekmoumtaz Hi! Currently widget is one way to help with that reflection part. You can add a Random Doodle widget which randomly picked from your past drawings to display on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or StandBy mode. In the future, I might introduce feature like the “Same Day Last Year” or like a “Year End Recap” to let users travel through their own history that they slowly built up!

@li_yuxuan Love it! Out of a wild idea: this could potentially evolve into an app for sketchers who want to maintain a continuous practice. Something with a daily streak, like Duolingo for people who draw

@li_yuxuan This is really nice! I've always found journaling kind of daunting, so I've never been able to stick with it. I also tried the "leave an emoji each day" trend, but emojis feel a bit too compressed for me—like they oversimplify what I actually felt.

Joodle seems to hit a sweet spot between those two. I haven't been able to try it yet since I'm on Android (Nothing phone), but I love the concept—a doodle feels just expressive enough without the pressure of writing. Cheering you on!

@li_yuxuan Congrats on the launch — love the idea 👏
I really like how lightweight and playful this feels compared to traditional journaling. Quick question: is Joodle mainly for designers or people who are already comfortable drawing?

I don’t really have strong drawing skills — would it still work for someone who just wants to capture moments without worrying about how it looks?

Among those AI tools and sales solutions, I am happy to see something playful :) (Yeah, I am infantile most of the time, so I appreciate this one) :DDD

Li Yuxuan
@busmark_w_nika Thank you so much for your support :) Yeah my intention behind this app is like every doodle you draw is something you own, and it’s drawn by you, not by AI. It’s a deeply personal app that connects with yourself 💛

@busmark_w_nika hahaha, fr, adulting is overrated, sometimes its cool to please ur inner child. Like a therapy after a hard working day)

Nika

@eugene_chernyak I like drawing, so I can confirm this! :D

Kiya L.

Downloaded it immediately - such a lovely idea!
Quick question: is it possible to add more than one doodle per day? And does it support adding descriptions to doodles, in case I forget why I drew it that way later on?

Anyways, congrats on your launch 🙌

Li Yuxuan
@kiyaaa_ Thank you! Yes you can already add description as a form of short diary notes! So when u select a day entry, you should see the bottom sheet with the placeholder text “What’s up…”. Tap on it and you can start writing! For multiple doodles for a day, sorry so far it is not supported yet as I want the initial version to be simple and more focused. So maybe you can choose the most precious moment of your day to be remembered as a form of your own artwork ☺️

This product is designed so interestingly and with a childlike heart. Unfortunately, I don't use an iPhone now but an Android, otherwise I really want to try it. I quite like doodling, but there may be one thing that restricts me, which is that my daily life is almost the same, getting up, working, exercising, and going home. I may not find new inspiration. As expected, I still have an adult mindset...

Alex Cloudstar

This hits the gap between notes and photos. I never stick with journaling, but a 10‑sec doodle feels doable. Stick figures it is. Widgets + iCloud are clutch. If I skip a day, is it just a blank square or can I backfill without guilt?

Li Yuxuan
@alexcloudstar Yes you can backfill anytime 😌 And yes, stick figures let’s goooo 🙌 no drawing skill required, it’s the meaning behind that counts 😆
Yoang

The idea of seeing my past doodles on the Home Screen is brilliant—it makes the journal feel 'alive' instead of hidden in an app. Regarding the widgets: do they update randomly throughout the day to surface old memories, or do they just show today's entry?

Li Yuxuan
@yoang_loo Thanks 🫶 There are different widgets you can choose from :) If you choose “Random Doodle”, the current algorithm will select randomly from past 365 available doodles, and refreshed daily! For “Anniversary Doodle” it is configurable! So you can let it select randomly, or you can “pin” a particular anniversary doodle and it will always show that. You can also put your doodle on Lock Screen, and StandBy mode when your iPhone is charged and placed horizontally 🙌
