Comparison
Confinity vs Apple Journal.
Apple Journal is a personal journal for Apple devices. You can write about your day, add media and keep copies outside the app.We'll tell you honestly when the other one is the better choice for you.
IHonest summary
If Apple Journal already works for you, there is no need to move. Apple documents ZIP exports with added media and PDF copies on supported versions. Confinity brings writing, originals and family context into one place, but a family relationship is not permission to read someone else's journal. Before choosing either, try writing an entry, finding its original and keeping a copy you can open.
