Bubbles’ Journal with Prompts4.0.0

'Bubbles' Journal' is an interactive diary for your thoughts and stories. A diary promotes sound mental health, helps cultivate mindfulness, and lets you reflect on your thoughts over time. In this journal, you'll write in the company of the friendly, curious (and always cuddly) Bubbles. Together you'll build a living, vivid diary - a place to gather the souvenirs and memories of life, just like a home.
A vivid diary is a dialogue with yourself; Bubbles makes that conversation come a little easier. Feel free to write on your own entries, or let Bubbles be your guide.

This app is free to try to see how the app feels. 10% of this app’s profit is donated to the German Depression Aid Foundation promoting mental health and mindfulness.

Meet Bubbles:
- Warm and cuddly: Your wholesome journal companion, full of conversations and questions
- Curious and kind: Stay motivated with Bubbles’ fun prompts and new interactions every day
- Loves to learn and grow: Your shared home will change and grow over time - as will Bubbles

Cool Features:
- Stickers: Add cute stickers to beautify your entries
- Tags: You can search and filter topics with Tags to reflect how your thoughts have evolved over time
- Book Mode: Scroll through your diary as if it were a physical book
- Memory Minder: A reminder for your future self to read. Writing about your first day of school? Set a reminder for the end of the year so you can reflect on what it was like in the light of now.

A Calm and Private Place:
- No advertisements or personal data tracking
- 100% usable offline
- Lockable & encrypted
- iCloud backups and easy PDF exports
- Can be used with a pencil or without one
- Lo-fi beats for chill vibes by an awesome artist called LAKEY INSPIRED

Version History Hello lovely journalers,
we are soooo freaking excited to release Bubbles’ Journal 4.0; this is a big one!

Here’s what’s new:
- The “Let Me Listen to You” Entry: Sometimes it’s easier to speak than to write. This new entry type lets you talk freely and turns your thoughts into a structured journal entry. Bubbles also asks gentle follow-up questions to help you reflect a little deeper. All your data stays private and on-device.

- Turn drawings into artwork: On the canvas you can transform sketches and handwritten notes into creative artwork in a variety of styles, like stickers, calligraphy and pixel art!

- Journal your way: We are now resizable, so you can write in the window size that feels right for you. You can also drag and drop images directly onto your pages.

- A Liquid Glass redesign: We revisited the journaling experience with a fresh new look, refined navigation and lots of small details.

- A cute new sticker pack for everyone who also loves Matcha & Tiramisu :)
Thank you all for your incredible support and for allowing this passion project to keep growing. We are so excited to finally share what we’ve been creating together.

Happy journaling!

Bubbles, Anna & Ali :) 4.0.0 Sep 11 Hey everyone,

Today, we’re adding some fun little dialogs where Bubbles tries out Zumba, a fun dance workout and one of Anna’s favorite hobbies!
Also some minor bug fixes and updates.

Thank you for your support and love!
Bubbles, Anna & Ali :) 3.2.2 Jun 4 Hey everyone,

Anna, my partner and co-founder, has now officially joined the team. Anna has been shaping Bubbles behind the scenes for a long time through design and concept work. So much of the love that defines this app comes directly from her talent. I deeply appreciate all the care and creativity she has already brought to this app, and I’m so excited for everything we will create together going forward.
We’ve updated some of the text in the app to properly reflect her official role.

Additionally, we fixed a bug where button hitboxes were larger than they should have been.

Thank you for your support and love!
Bubbles, Anna & Ali :) 3.2.1 Apr 1 Hey everyone,
We’re really hyped to present this update, as we’ve reworked the user experience on the canvas to make drawing and interacting with images and other elements much easier. Big shoutout to Manu!

Besides that, we’ve added some other cool stuff:
- You can now crop images
- You can now change entry dates
- Refreshed settings look
- When exporting PDFs you can now set a range (thx Joyce!)
- Stability improvements & bug fixes

If you have any feedback I’d love to hear it, especially if you catch a bug, since with the canvas changes there are probably some things we missed.

As always, thank you so much for your support and love!
Bubbles & Ali :) 3.2.0 Mar 6 Hey everyone,
We’re excited to add the next Apple Intelligence feature to this cozy home.
You can now chat with Bubbles about your entry. On compatible devices, after you’ve written a few entries, a new button appears while writing. Tap it and Bubbles will help you reflect, explore new perspectives, and find fresh ideas for what to write next. Thanks to Apple Intelligence, everything stays on device, works offline, and remains private.
We also refined the little chit chat in the menu even further.

As always, thank you for your support and love!
Bubbles & Ali :) 3.1.0 Jan 20 Hey everyone,

Bubbles & Ali :) 2.2.1 01/31/2025 Hey everyone,

I hope you had an awesome holiday season and could enjoy a mindful and calm time!

I am so excited to share this update with you, as we have big news. Since many of you have been asking for more stickers, Bubbles has implemented a new feature called Sticker Studio. You can now import stickers from various apps and collections, giving you endless creative possibilities. I can't wait to hear your feedback on this!

Additionally, with the help of Apple Intelligence, Genmoji and Image Playground have found their way into your journal, allowing you to effortlessly add AI-generated images that perfectly reflect your emotions and thoughts.

Of course, we included a few stability improvements and bug fixes, such as resolving an issue with the squeeze gesture of the Apple Pencil Pro. Thanks for reporting, Stephan :)

Also, automatic backups have been removed, as they caused some lags when your journal was very large. However, please remember to create manual backups from time to time through the settings.

I wish all of you a happy new year in 2025! Thank you for all the unbelievable love you gave me last year, motivating me daily to further advance this passion project.

Bubbles & I wish you all the best from the bottom of our hearts.
