• The Eternal Journal vs Day One.

  Both are journals. They're built on opposite assumptions about where your writing should live.

• The Eternal Journal vs journaling in Notion.

  Notion is a brilliant tool for organising work. It is a strange place to put your inner life.

• The Eternal Journal vs Apple Notes.

  Apple Notes is the path of least resistance. The Eternal Journal is the path that takes the journaling seriously.

• The Eternal Journal vs Obsidian for journaling.

  Obsidian is for building a second brain. The Eternal Journal is for emptying the first one for a moment.

• The Eternal Journal vs a paper notebook.

  Paper is excellent. It also can't be locked, searched, or carried in the pocket of a thousand future devices.
