Retro Notebook brings the warmth of a leather-bound diary into the digital
world. It's a simple, fast, and stylish notebook app that gives you a quick and
easy way to jot down notes, draft messages, or put together a shopping list,
to-do list, or checklist.
New in v4.3.0:
• Journal mode: the app now gives you a journal of your own. Your days are
listed on a calendar, with a timeline and a gallery of the days that have
photos. Completely free on your device.
• Writing prompts: a question to get each day started, with Travel,
Parenting, Goals and Self-care packs.
• Streak: the days you write in a row are counted.
• Mood: mark how your day went. The monthly summary is free; month-by-month
trends and the activities that go with your good days come with Premium.
• On This Day: what you wrote a year ago today comes back to you, with a
quiet reminder in the morning if you want one.
• New languages: Traditional Chinese and Hindi — the app now speaks 16
languages.
An account is optional. If you don't want sync, you can keep using the app
exactly as before — fully offline, with no account at all.
