Thyself is a journaling app that utilizes an interface similar to your typical messaging app to promote journaling that appears as though you are messaging yourself. It also includes a few things you won't find when using a messenger: prompts and feelings.

Great app overall. I love the fact that I'm able to break down my journaling into thoughts. Thats most important for me as I tend to feel different things throughout the day and Thyself makes it easy to pick up where I left off. There are a few things I'd love to see though: - I typically read articles in the morning and I tend to journal what I learned from those articles (typically read on Medium). When I insert links, it just shows up as a link. I think it would make the journal a bit livelier if the link preview image showed up instead of the link similar to when you text a link. - I think it would be interesting if I could edit prompts - I think it would be great to have a landing page with all my journals when I first open the app as opposed to the current journal of the day. I definitely get the quick access that launching with your current journal gives you, but I would definitely love the option to choose. Overall, I think this is a great app. I've been waiting for something like this for a while now- minimalist, clean and focused. Good luck in growing your user base and I have no doubt you lot will be successful!

@timothy_ogunlowo Thanks for the feedback! Link previewing is a great idea and I'm adding it to the list of things to do. I have a lot planned for prompts so stay tuned for that. I agree that there needs to be some sort of landing and I've still thinking about how best to accomplish that.

Apps like this get to the core of what apps should be; useful, clean and to the point. Journaling is one of the best ways to keep focused, and this is a great way to make that happen. My only recommendation would be to include an onboarding session or description of the ideal user flow.

@jay_maloney Thanks! I definitely rushed the onboarding but once I add some more features it's really going to need it.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Logan, and I made Thyself, a journaling app. Recently, I wanted to get into journaling, but I always found the idea of waiting until bedtime to reflect on your whole day intimidating. I wanted a journaling app that could capture my thoughts and experiences in little snippets. What better way to achieve this than to make Thyself look like your typical messaging app. And for those days when you just have nothing to say - I added a catalog of prompts to get you started. You can also insert custom emoticons to track how you're feeling throughout the day. Features: ⭐️ Prompts ⭐️ Feelings ⭐️ Photos ⭐️ Reminders ⭐️ Calendar ⭐️ Face ID, Touch ID, or Passcode Lock ⭐️ Themes This first release is an MVP, but I have a ton of ideas on how to make it even better. I'd love to hear your feedback, comments, or suggestions!
