Previously
The journaling app for all the things you’ve done (and MacOS)
FEATURES
What Previously is
All of it, not just today
Most journals start the day you install them. Previously holds the whole length of your life — the long-ago and the just-now — as one record you can move through, instead of a pile of entries you’ll never reopen.
It starts with what you’ve already done
You don’t face a blank page. Previously builds from the things you’ve actually finished and lived, so the record is already there on day one — waiting to be added to, not started from scratch.
On your Mac, on purpose
Native and on-device, built that way deliberately. Everything you write and bring in stays on your Mac, and goes nowhere you didn’t send it.
Prompts that already know you
Previously’s journaling prompts are inviting and genuinely intelligent — they draw on everything you’ve done in a voice you choose. Or turn it off completely.
What Previously isn’t doing
| The usual journaling app | Previously |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions, and the bullshit that rides along | One price. One product. |
| Selling or mining what you write | Sir, this is a wendys. No. Never. |
| Dark patterns and engagement bait | No. |
| Notifications nagging you to keep a streak | Only if you ask for them. |
