Dwoth is an emoji journal that lets you write journal entries next to emojis that best reflect your mood and activity.
This form of minimal journaling allows you to create an accurate representation of events on the go.
What is an emoji journal?
An emoji journal is a micro journal where your mood and activity is represented by an emoji at different times of the day. It may contain textual information that acts as context or the typical journal entry.
An emoji is niche within a niche since the order goes: Journaling > micro journaling > emoji journaling
Who needs an emoji journal to begin with?
Anyone that wants to journal but is tired of prompts, manifestations and other nudges that cause subtle irritation can use an emoji journal like Dwoth to simply focus on documenting life as it happens.
This is best suited for people who want a honest report of their life in an app.
An emoji journal is also a part of the active journaling trend where the goal is to write down entries as they happen so that you do not lose context over time.
For example, you have rice, beans and eggs for lunch then follow it up with a few orange slices. If you decide to journal at night about it, you might kinda forget about those orange slices and that leaves behind some context on your nutritional intake as a person.
How does an emoji journal work?
With an emoji journal, you follow a few steps to ensure you can journal to add entries effectively:
- Tap the emoji from the list of emojis that best represents your activity.
- A journal entry will be created with the emoji highlighted. It will have the date and timestamp.
- Tap on the journal entry to add more context about what was done.
- Great, you now have a journal entry!
It is recommended to journal on the go to retain context but you can also journal at the end of the day as long as you can remember everything that happened, Megamind.
Using Dwoth as your emoji journal
Dwoth is a free to use emoji journal that lets you journal on the go using ten emojis. On the free plan you can have up to 50 journal entries per day and if you are looking for unlimited journal entries then it's currently $15 for a lifetime deal.
Why use Dwoth as your journal
Journaling does not have to be boring or pushed onto you with constant nudges. Keeping that in mind, here's every reason why Dwoth may suit you well:
- We allow you to choose from 10 emojis that should represent your daily life activities; adding all emojis would lead to choice fatigue so we limited our try to only 10 emojis.
- Since it's a web app, you can use it from any device's browser. It's made to be lightweight with search to aid you search an entry by emoji or by text.
- A limit of 50 journal entries on the free plan is sufficient for most people starting out with daily journaling; for those looking for more than that, the lifetime deal costs the same as someone's OF monthly subscription.
- We built it because it was a problem we faced - being able to write down entries daily can really help you see patterns when you decide to reflect on your journal each month.
Use cases of an emoji journal
An emoji journal with the right kind of support for productive journaling can easily have multiple use cases and all can be combined together too of course.
We are now highlighting some of our use cases as well as those brought to us by users.
Tracking calories with an emoji journal
With the cookie emoji on Dwoth, it is easy to track your daily calorie intake.
You can write down each session where you eat along with the estimated calories; an apt description of what you are eating as well as the number of calories can then help you note down your progress over months.
Using emojis for a work journal
The briefcase emoji can be used to describe and document work activities. Usually if something at work is a minor update it doesn't always make sense to update or write it in a work app then you can write it down on Dwoth.
This keeps a well documented list of tasks you have performed as well as the updates that are noted down.
Over time it can be useful since you remember the context for an activity as well as know which date and time it took place.
Tracking my games in a journal
I personally use the football (soccer) emoji to make a note of all the games I have played over the week.
This helps me estimate the effort I put in, the predictive calories burnt and the time required in between for rest and recovery.
Other use cases for an emoji journal
- Making a note of every time you drink water, meditate or perform a self care routine.
- Noting down seasons and episodes of series as well as movies you have watched; possibly with added commentary from your side + noting down important moments within an episode.
- Creating entries for your travels across the city or states; this is helpful for people who are always on the go.
- The strength emoji is great for tracking workouts (though we do admit that Apple's Health/Workout ecosystem is better).
Closing notes
- Depending on Firebase, our website can sometimes be slower or take time to load or updating entries; we are fixing it.
- At the moment, our lifetime deal is turned on manually; we will integrate a lifetime access code you can enter in your dashboard to make this process straightforward.
- Our emoji journal runs at a low cost currently so we don't mind huge entries all at once, but please be mindful of usage otherwise you will find me pleading Firebase to overlook those read-write charges.
