vola - ballet journal / diary

Ballet deserves a better notebook than a notes app.

vola is a diary made for dancers — every class you take, every step you learn, every goal you're counting down to, kept in one place and made beautiful.

A PAGE YOU WANT TO WRITE ON

Start from a paper refill, then build the page your way. Add text, drop in stickers, place photos from your camera roll, and draw freehand on top. Every element sits on its own layer, so you can rearrange until it looks right. Save a finished page straight to your Photos.


LOG WHAT BALLET ACTUALLY ASKS ABOUT

Not "how was your day" — how was your ballet. Set your mood from Awful to Best, then record the practice: Basic Class, Advanced Class, Pointe, Free Practice, Concours, or your own variations and repertoire. Add the studio and the teacher, and track your weight in kg or lb.

Import workouts straight from Apple Health, including everything your Apple Watch already recorded.


A CALENDAR YOU CAN READ AT A GLANCE

Every day carries a mood marker and a thumbnail of the page you wrote, so a month of practice reads in one look. Set a goal — a concours, an exam, a performance — and the calendar counts down to it. Dress the whole month in a calendar theme.


A DICTIONARY THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN

Look up any step, in French or in the reading of your own language, and watch the video guides.

Best of all, every movement shows the diary entries where you mentioned it, so you can see how your plie has changed over months, not just what it means. Tag a step with # while writing and it links both ways, on its own.
