Little Memory vs. Other Journaling Apps

Little Memory is a one line a day journal for iPhone: you write one sentence about your day, it takes about fifteen seconds, and your old entries come back to you a week, a month, and a year later.

Every app below is good at what it’s built for, and each comparison says who should pick the other app. Here’s how they stack up:

• Day One — the full-featured favorite. Compare if the big editor stopped getting opened.
• Apple Journal — free and built into your iPhone. Compare if it still feels like homework.
• Journey — the everywhere journal. Compare if you only ever write on your phone.
• Daylio — mood tracking with icons. Compare if you want words with your moods.
• Reflectly — the AI-guided mood journal. Compare if you’d rather skip the interview.
• Five Minute Journal — guided gratitude, morning and night. Compare if the routine keeps slipping.

Coming from paper instead? There’s a page for the one line a day memory books too.
