Everlog
What Everlog is
Everlog is a personal journaling app for writing, tracking thoughts, and reflecting on entries. It runs on iOS and macOS with a free plan, a 14-day trial, and Premium options. Users can organize entries into journals or tags, bookmark them, search their content, and add comments or threaded reflections. The free version supports image attachments and allows one journal; Premium adds video, audio recordings, PDFs, scheduled backups, weather information, alternate icons, and fonts. Premium also syncs journals across devices through iCloud, storing data in the user’s private iCloud encrypted by Apple. End-to-end encryption requires Apple Advanced Data Protection in iCloud settings. A passcode, Touch ID, Face ID, or Apple Watch can protect access. Journals can be imported from Day One ZIP or JSON exports, and URL schemes support opening or creating entries. Premium costs $1.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $49.99, paid once.
