Take a look

The whole app, at your desk.

Made for Mac

Built for the keyboard.

Shortcuts for everything you do often, real windows, and drag and drop where you'd expect it.

Keyboard shortcuts

Hands stay on the keys.

Start, find and move through entries without the mouse. Arrow keys walk the calendar and Return opens a day.

  • ⌘N New entry. From anywhere in the app.
  • ⌘K Search. Every journal, every transcript.
  • ⌘↩ Save and close. Then back to work.
Windows

An entry in its own window.

Open entries in separate windows to read last year beside today, or write full screen with nothing else in view.

  • A real formatting bar. Bold, headings, quotes, and AI help with Premium.
  • Saved as you type. Close the lid; nothing is lost.
Switch from Day One

Drag in years of entries.

Drop your Day One export onto the window. You'll see what's inside, choose how journals merge, and keep writing while it imports.

  • Nothing is deleted. Your Day One journal stays as it is.
  • Safe to run twice. Entries you already have are skipped.
  • Other sources. JunaJournal JSON, a Markdown folder or Apple Journal.
Ask your journal Premium

Ask, and get your own answers.

Type a question and press Return. The answer comes from your entries and shows which ones, so you can check.

  • Weekly reflections. Your week, read back to you.
  • Leave any journal out. Excluded journals are never sent to AI.
Light and dark

Matches your Mac.

JunaJournal follows your system appearance, or you can choose. Long entries stay easy to read in either.

  • Works offline. On a plane or a train, everything still works.
  • Picks up where your phone left off. The same journal, synced.
Menu-bar quick entry

Talk between meetings.

Click JunaJournal in the menu bar, pick a journal and talk. The transcript appears as you go. Press ⌘↩ and you're back to work.

  • Or type instead. A small window for a line or two, saved with ⌘↩
  • Transcribed on your Mac. Live, and free on every plan.
  • Cleaner with Premium. A second pass after you save. Your original is kept.

Keep your journal one click away.

Free to download. Premium is $39.99 a year, with a 30-day free trial.
