A simple daily rhythm
Plan what is next. Remember what mattered.
Write your way
Capture a quick thought or a full reflection with Markdown, links, lists, and checkboxes. On iPad, switch to Apple Pencil whenever handwriting says more.
Find anything from your day
Search daily notes, calendar events, reminders, and recognized handwriting together, then jump directly to the date or agenda item.
Keep every saved version
Parchment merges concurrent edits automatically and keeps saved versions available so you can review or restore an earlier daily note.
Keep it with you
Your journal can sync through your private iCloud account across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with portable export tools when you want your own copy.
Make it feel like yours
Choose themes, app icons, fonts, page margins, Markdown rendering, agenda sources, and widget colors without turning the app into a project.
Unified search
Remember the idea, not where you put it.
Search across the shape of your day. One query can surface typed notes, recognized handwriting, events, and reminders, with results grouped by date and ready to open.

More ways to use the day
Glance, create, write.
Parchment meets you at the right level—from a quick agenda widget, to natural-language planning, to a full handwritten page.
Private by design
Your journal is yours.
Parchment keeps journal data on your devices and, when you choose iCloud sync, in your private iCloud account.
There is no Parchment account, no advertising, no third-party analytics SDK, and no tracking across apps or websites.
