Lite JournalStart journaling free →A distraction-free editor for daily writing.
No formatting menus, no folder structure, no templates to fill in. A cursor, today's date, and a place to put what's on your mind. Cmd+Enter to keep.
Zero chrome
No toolbar. No sidebar. The editor is the whole screen. Write in plain text or light Markdown.
Date-stamped automatically
Every entry gets today's date and time. You can adjust either — but you never have to think about it.
Cmd+Enter to save
One keyboard shortcut keeps an entry. No save button to click, no dialog to confirm.
Syncs across devices
Write on the web, read on iOS. Entries sync in real time — always up to date everywhere.
Does Lite Journal support Markdown?+
Yes — basic Markdown (bold, italic, headers, lists) renders in the editor. Nothing fancy.
Can I edit entries after saving them?+
Yes. Tap or click any entry to open it and edit the text or date.
Is there a word limit on entries?+
No. Write one sentence or ten pages.
Can I use the editor offline?+
The iOS app works offline and syncs when you reconnect. The web app requires a connection.
