Apple Journal
app redesign
This project was a redesign of the journaling app released in December of 2023 by Apple. The app includes the original logo and many of the original colors
Insights: looking at reviews from apple users, especially those loyal to existing journaling apps, the Apple Journal is not competitive with other apps on the market.
The simplicity and ease of use makes the app appealing to consumers, especially for customers new to journaling.
The main components Apple users are missing in this app are the lack of organization, no search bar, and no formatting options.

Solution
Reviews show a positive reaction to the simplicity, but organization and customizability needs to be improved.
A search bar allowing users to find entries based on specific words
Formatting options when writing an entry, including a large title option, bullet points, bold and italicized text, and letter sizing
Ability to organize entries into separate “journals” based on content of entries.
