Key features

DailyBean

Entries in a few taps
Choose a mood bean, tap icons for activities, routines and meals, then add a photo and a short note if you want. Longer text notes are also possible.
Custom blocks and icons
Category blocks can be added, removed and edited so the log tracks what matters to you. Custom and special blocks are included in the free version.
Mood calendar and themes
Each day's mood colors a monthly calendar, building a year-in-pixels view. Themes for decorating the calendar are released every month.
Analysis reports
Charts show how habits and activities relate to your mood. Basic analysis is free, and in-depth analysis is part of Premium Pass.
Sleep, exercise and health logs
Besides notes and photos, you can log sleep time, exercise, a song of the day, step count and menstruation, or sync health data instead of typing it in.
Lock, backup and device sync
The app locks with a PIN or Face ID, and records are tied to an account so they restore on a new phone. Premium Pass syncs up to 5 devices.

Reflectly

Personalized questions
The app asks questions based on your earlier diary entries, so there is always a prompt to answer. Premium adds a new question and reminder each day.
Mood tracking and correlations
Each entry records how you feel, and the mood tracker shows graphs and correlations to help explain a run of good or bad days.
Daily quotes and challenges
Mornings bring motivation quotes and challenges, and evenings bring daily insights, with the option to write whenever you want to vent.
Daily, weekly and monthly overviews
Overviews summarize each day, week and month with personalized insights and reminders. Advanced statistics are part of Premium.
Widget and streaks
The App Store listing describes a home-screen widget meant to keep a journaling streak going. Earlier entries can be read and edited at any time.
