Portell^™

One line a day. Journaling, beautifully simple.

$0.99 USD on iPhone & Android · $4.99 on Mac

Portell is a journal for people who never stick with journaling. Each day you write a single line — a sentence or so — and that's it. No blank pages to fill, no guilt. Over weeks and months those small lines add up into an honest record of your life, and Portell brings them back with writing streaks and a look at this day a year ago.

→One entry a day, capped at about one sentence

→Build a writing streak, and rediscover past entries with "On this day"

→Add photos to any day you want to remember

→Find anything fast — search your words or filter by month

→Export your whole journal to Excel or PDF, titled with your name

→Lock it with Face ID; keep it on-device or in your own private iCloud

→Optional iCloud sync shares one journal with Portell on Mac — write at your desk or on the road (Mac app sold separately)

→No account, no ads, no trackers — your journal is yours alone
