Everlog review
A flexible Apple journaling app with organization, privacy controls, and backups.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Everlog is a personal journaling app for recording thoughts, memories, and daily reflections on Apple devices. Entries can be organized into journals or tags, with comments, threaded entries, bookmarks, calendar-based navigation, search, Markdown editing, and photo, video, audio, and PDF attachments. It is suited to people who want structured personal journaling across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision, particularly those already using iCloud.
The free version supports one journal and image attachments, while a 14-day free trial is available. Premium Monthly and Everlog Premium include device syncing, unlimited journals, scheduled automatic backups, video, audio, and PDF attachments, weather information, and alternate icons and fonts. Premium Lifetime provides permanent access to Premium features, no recurring fees, and Family Sharing support. The published plans make Everlog a fit for users who want more than a single private journal without moving beyond Apple's ecosystem.
Privacy and continuity are central to the feature set. Everlog supports passcode, Touch ID, Face ID, and Apple Watch unlocking, along with iCloud syncing and scheduled automatic backups on paid plans. Its integration is focused on iCloud rather than a broad third-party ecosystem, and Day One imports are supported through ZIP or JSON exports. The app suits Apple users who value media-rich entries, organization, and backup options; people seeking wider platform coverage or services beyond Apple's devices should choose an alternative.
