All they've done is ported the content from the website into the app. ![]() Anyone who has surfed the Bullet Journal website or subscribed to their newsletter will feel instant deja vu. Once you're done logging for the moment, you can browse the "articles" available on the app. A satisfying diagonal strike-through draws across the current day in the monthly calendar and a countdown timer ticks forward to the next time you have to log. When you do tap into the notification to get to the BJC app, a motivational quote pops up with a link on the bottom to "LOG!" At that point, you're supposed to have written down your reflection in your real, pen & paper bullet journal. If you've opened your phone for any other reason, the notification goes away and so does the reminder to write your reflection. ![]() To remind you of your daily reflections, the app sends you a notification twice a day to record your reflection. The concept is great, but having the BJC app help you accomplish this is a joke. Having a couple of reflection points can help ground your thoughts and keep you focused on your priorities. This is a good practice, as distraction and stress can quickly overwhelm the mind and cause you to get sidetracked. The app encourages you to reflect on your day twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. In fact, the only thing the app keeps track of is your daily reflections. That's right, no text data or page pics are stored on the BJC at all. ![]() So, my first impression is that the app may keep some sort of text document database or store pictures of completed daily logs or pages. I was a little leery about using another app to store journal entries or reflections since I already love using Evernote. Thankfully, I didn't have to choose to leave Evernote, because there is no data to be entered in the Bullet Journal Companion, which I'll refer to as BJC for short.
