Open blackbear and start writing: each day gets its own entry, beside your tasks, events, and routines in the Today view.
Start each entry with gratitude, intentions, and reflections, or write free-form.
Gratitude, goals, morning pages, evening review, and more. Customize them or create your own.
Track your writing streak and word count. Build a daily habit with visible progress.
Every entry is a full markdown document: add images, links, tables, and formatting.
Search across every entry you’ve ever written. Find that idea from three months ago in seconds.
blackbear is free and includes notes, calendar, tasks, and more, not just journaling. And your entries are end-to-end encrypted.
blackbear works offline-first with no account required. Your journal stays on your device unless you choose to sync.
