Journaling on the iPhone

Hi guys,

The iPhone can be a great device for recording events or thoughts, with the right apps. That's what I want to discuss here. I've come across some interesting apps that I want to share.

From that, I wish to create a list of the best journaling apps.

Journaling Apps for the iPhone

Momento, apparently the best diary app for the iPhone. Beautiful, nice to use, but still not perfect. It includes your social networks' activity as 'moments', as it calls every entry, wich you can rate. (site)
Star Trek Captain's Log, more inclined to location, and designed to give the user the feeling of being in charge of the Enterprise. Most people might not appreciate the theme, but the features are there. Cheap.
Chronicle, not as nice as Momento, but has an iPad version, works horizontally, and is cheaper. (site)

Do you know of any other good apps that will help you remember your first impression of "Inception", a year from now?

Dragon Dictation is an excellent speech-to-text app. You can then export the file into your favorite word processing program for editing/formatting. A big plus, IT'S FREE!!!

Excellent suggestion. I even have it installed, but I think I dropped it in the wrong folder on my iPhone 4 and I'd completely forgotten it.

I don't understand how is that related to a diary.

I'm not a journaller so I can't really help with specific journalling apps you might want to check out. When I have thoughts or ideas I want to capture, I simply use the iPhone's built-in Notes app or record an audio snippet for myself. I prefer to expand thoughts and ideas on a device with a full-size or at least comfortably larger keyboard than the iPhone's small screen-based keyboard.
