Looking for the best iPhone apps or best iPad apps to journal with? There's something beautiful, almost magically analog about a crumpled old note pad, a key-locked journal, a well worn moleskin, and the ink and graphite that fill their pages. For centuries that's how we recorded our most intimate dreams, our most personal desires, our greatest works, and our most important memories. It's how we've gotten things out of our heads and onto paper so I brains could relax, let go, and move on. But paper doesn't sync. It doesn't back up. It can't be shared over digital networks. It copies and pastes in only the most mechanical definition of the term. And while an iPad or iPhone won't ever replace a real-world diary for those of us who kept them since childhood, they are and will increasingly become the journals of choice for the future. But which journaling apps are the very best?

Aside from the great interface, Day One supports tags, markdown, photo upload, and more. The main view of Day One also makes it incredibly easily see a quick count of total timeline items, tags, photos, and more. Day One supports iCloud sync, the ability to passcode protect your entries, and export them to PDF. You can also embed media and write in Markdown, if you prefer. A universal app, it supports both iPhone and iPad. There is also a Mac app available, completing the Day One ecosystem

Heyday

Heyday is a photo journaling app that can import all the photos you take on your iPhone and create a media rich journal out of them. You can then go back and add thoughts and descriptions to photos and memories. You can even tag your Facebook friends in Heyday posts they're a part of. If you find a photo or memory you'd like to add more photos to, just select them and group them all together.

For a visual journal that requires very little effort on your part, you want Heyday.

Collect

Collect is another photo journal app like Heyday but doesn't focus on journaling everything, just the important moments. Manually choose to import photos from Dropbox, Flickr, or your Camera Roll. From there you can add tags, descriptions, albums, and notes about photos. Better yet, Collect optionally lets you create collages that are print ready along with video slideshows (requires in-app purchases). You can make Collect as simple or as robust as you want by adding only one photo per day or multiples each day.

If you want a photo journal but want more control than apps like Heyday offer, be sure to check out Collect.

Stealing from an Apple Store is so easy people are doing it time and again

Apple Stores are seen as an easy target by thieves, with at least one man in New York arrested twice for stealing from two stores in two years.

Before you begin

• Set up iCloud to keep your reminders updated across all your devices. Open the Settings app, then tap [your name] > iCloud and turn on Reminders. Inside the Reminders app, you’ll see all of your reminders on all of your Apple devices that are signed in to the same Apple ID.
• Learn more about upgrading your iCloud reminders after you update to iOS 13 and iPadOS.

Get started with Reminders

Create a reminder, add helpful details, then mark it complete when you're done.

How to create a reminder

1. Open the Reminders app.
2. Tap the list that you want to add the reminder to. Tap Add List if you want to create a new list.
3. Tap New Reminder, then type your reminder.
4. Tap Done.

Use the quick toolbar to add notifications and more

As you type a new reminder, a quick toolbar appears, giving you quick and easy customization options:

Set a due date

Tap the time button to set a due date for the reminder. Choose from Today, Tomorrow, This Weekend, or tap Custom to set your own day and time.*

Add a location

Tap the location button to assign a notification based on where you are. Select one of the options provided, or tap Custom to add your own location, choose whether you want to be notified when arriving or leaving, and set the perimeter of your reminder area.

To receive location-based reminders, make sure that Location Services is turned on. Open the Settings app, then tap Privacy > Location Services and turn on Location Services.

Flag a reminder

Tap the flagged button to mark a reminder as extra important and make it appear in the Flagged smart list on the Reminders app main screen.

Add an attachment

Tap the photos button to add an attachment to the reminder. You can take a new photo, choose an image from your photo library, or scan a document.

* If you set a due date for a reminder but don't assign a time, the notification appears by default at 9:00 AM. To change when all-day reminder notifications appear, open the Settings app, then tap Reminders. Tap the time below All-Day Reminders, then choose a different time.

Edit your reminder, get a notification when messaging, and add more info

Tap the edit details button to add even more details and customizations to your reminder, such as notes, a URL, and a priority. You can also modify the reminder's notification settings and change the list that it belongs to.

Get a reminder while messaging someone

Turn on Remind me when messaging if you want to receive a notification when you chat with a specified person in Messages.

Turn on Remind me when messaging, tap Choose Person, then tap a name in your contacts.

The next time you chat with this person, a Reminders notification appears.

Add notes and a URL

Use the Notes field to add useful information to your reminder. If you have a web address related to the reminder, you can add it to the URL field. The notes and URL appear along with the reminder in any lists that it belongs to.

Create subtasks

Every reminder that you create can have subtasks. For example, a reminder to pack for a trip can include a list of things that you don't want to forget.

You can create subtasks in a few different ways:

• Tap and hold a reminder, then drag it onto another reminder. The reminder that you dragged becomes a subtask of the other.
• Swipe right on a reminder, then tap Indent. The reminder becomes a subtask of the one above it. To undo this, swipe right again on the subtask and tap Outdent.
• Tap a reminder, then tap the edit details button . Tap Subtasks > Add Reminder, then type your subtask. Repeat for as many subtasks as you'd like to create.

To move multiple reminders, tap one and hold it, then use another finger to tap the others that you want to include.

* If you're using an iPad, your lists remain visible, so you can just drag reminders between lists.

Change the order of reminders

Tap and hold a reminder, then drag it to where you want it to appear within the list. Be sure to place it between reminders; if you drag it onto a reminder, it becomes a subtask.

View your reminders in smart lists

The main screen of the Reminders app shows four built-in smart lists that automatically organize your reminders into quick views:

• Today shows all of your reminders that you marked as being due today. It also shows reminders that are overdue.
• Scheduled shows all of your reminders that have a due date—past, today, and in the future.
• Flagged shows all of your reminders that you assigned a flag to.
• All shows every reminder, organized by list.

Smart lists include reminders from all of your custom Reminders lists. In the Scheduled, All, and Flagged smart lists, you can tap the more button and select Show Completed to include your completed reminders.

Search for reminders

Use the search bar above smart lists to search your reminders. As you type, reminders that match your search term appear, grouped by list.

Tap the dictate button to search using Dictation.

Add a reminder easily with Siri, create a reminder from within another app, and share your lists with others.

Add a reminder from another app

Remind yourself to go back to an app—for example, to revisit a website or a map location—from within the app, without having to switch to Reminders.

1. With an app open, ask Siri 'Remind me about this later.' Or tap the share button in the app, then tap Reminders.
   
2. When you get the scheduled notification, or when you open Reminders, tap the app icon to the right of the reminder to go directly to the app.

You can also set a reminder when you get a phone call that you can't answer immediately. Tap Remind Me on the call screen, then choose when you want to be reminded to return the call.

How to share a Reminders list

1. Tap the list that you want to share, then tap the more button .
2. Tap Add People.

After someone accepts your invitation, they can add items, delete items, and mark them as completed. To view shared Reminders lists that you create in iOS 13, the people you invite also have to have iOS 13 on their device. Notifications that you set for your reminders aren't shared with anyone else.
