Meridian - Daily Journal

Every journal entry you write becomes a star. Meridian is a journaling app built around one idea: your life deserves to be remembered. Each time you write, your entry lights up stars for the people, places, plans and goals in it, and your personal galaxy grows with you. Your Personal Galaxy Every person, place, thread and goal you write about becomes its own constellation. Open one to see what it is and its story so far, told in your own words and with the dates: who someone is to you, how a project started, where you were when it changed. Add a note of your own and it's woven in. Meridian only asks when someone or somewhere is new. Your Story See your week read back to you in a sentence, the people and places who turned up, what's still open and what went quiet. Pick up your goals right where you left them. Write It Your Way Talk, type or snap a page of handwriting. Voice is transcribed on your device, and you can pause any time to fix a word. Add photos, a place or a scanned page to any entry, then watch it light up as Meridian reads it. Ask Your Journal Anything Ask what happened, when, and how something changed. Answers come from your own entries, with the dates. Optional Accountability with Screen Time Want real stakes? Meridian can lock your most distracting apps (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) until you write. Using Apple's Screen Time API, your chosen apps stay shielded at your chosen wind-down time. The only key is your journal. Need a little more time? Spend Stardust, earned through consistent writing, to snooze the lock for 10 minutes. Friends, On Your Terms Friends and circles live in one inbox. Streaks and the feed only ever show that you showed up, never what you wrote. When you choose to share an entry, it's locked to the people you send it to before it leaves your phone, so not even Meridian can read it. Send a friend a question to write about, or comment on what they share with you. Why Journaling Works Research on expressive writing links it to lower stress, better sleep and greater resilience. Meridian is built to make writing a habit you'll actually return to, because you can see yourself building something real.
