Journal, gratitude, and habit tools are a way to keep track how you felt each day, practice gratitude, and if you have executed your habit. These apps are mostly organised by day and meant as a daily practice, just for you.

Note taking apps focus on getting info in as quickly, and from there to build a broader understanding as you learn more, mostly through association (association led) and iterations.

Journaling and note taking apps are largely non-social activities. They are meant for you, but will have a share (read only) or invite (to edit) feature.

A unique opportunity for journaling the guides way would be a journal that is:

• easy entry when inspiration strikes
• organised by topic, clustered by thread (tree)
• shared with the people that care (about that topic)
• iterative, inspiring diverse reflections
