The Creative Digital Journal | Best iPad Apps for Productivity 2021

The perfect creative digital journal? I think these are some of the best iPad apps for productivity 2021 to supercharge your digital journaling. From amazingly productive to beautifully simple, my top 5 productivity apps for iOS offer simple, mindful ways to explore ideas in a daily journal setup.
In this video I look beyond apps like Notion, Notability and Evernote to find the best digital journal for the iPad. OK, I know, I still love Notion and GoodNotes, but sometimes you want a space for that daily, messy, creative exploration: these digital journalling and iPad diary apps might surprise you.

Can't find the 'Journal' App? It’s hard to find with a search! Search for ‘Journal - Make Space’

A list of the kit I use to make this channel all in one place:

BETTER CREATING
My name is Simon, and I'm finding ways to simplify productivity & creative life.
Exploring productivity, simple living and creative life, the Better Creating YouTube Channel is my project to build a toolkit to help creative people (including me) create more meaningful work, create better content, and live more intentional stress-free lives in the process. Other than doing this, I work as a freelance creative in theatre and film, creating productions.

Journal and Stoic look absolutely amazing, I’m leaning more towards stoic.. Probably will go there. Thank you!

Thank you for your app reviews. I appreciate your honest opinions on how each option is useful to you. I’ve recently bought an iPad Pro for a year abroad teaching and doing some more creative work for the first time, and I’m trying to wake myself up to new tech platforms as a way to leverage some creative momentum in my personal and professional life. Also, with an eye towards helping you hone your unique style for your channel, I wanted to mention that I found your little moment of honesty to select the medium mood option at 10:08 quite in line with the vibe you’re going for.

Great informative video. Thanks! What do you think of Freeform as a journaling tool?

Hi, which one would you recommend to create a Travel Journal ? Terence

[TylerCocci]

These are actually so amazing. How have I never used any of them?!!! I use my iPad allll the time. I have run my own Media Production company (I’m 15) and time management + productivity is so essential for me!! Now, I make videos teaching others how to do the same! Maybe some of my videos can help you! I am subscribed, can't wait to see what you put out next!

Found your channel yesterday and I love it!

Journal is non existent? I can not fond it on the app store, even if i type in 'journal - make space'. Sad as it looks so good! Thanks for the video, it is helpful!

I’m looking for a journal that does feel like the notebook journal, flip type pages like ISSUU, that does the work of the first two creative journals. Is there such an app.

[AThirstyPhilosopher]

Love the look of the Stoic app! I'm going to give that a go.

[ProspectivePlans]

@Better Creating HI, LOVE VIDEO. I CANT FIND ''JOURNAL''' APP YOU MENTIONED. Help. Thank youY

[nachobru]

Never used the Stoic app on my iPad. I think it will great complement to use with the your Notion System ✍️ how do you mix them, Simon?

[Patrick]

I typed up Journal in the App Store and it doesn’t come up. I can’t find their website either. How do I find this app?

[ricardoarchangel]

I hope you one day get paid for YouTube! But I sub yesterday and really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work :)

[Michael_Lak]

I think muse is head and shoulders above the others. Something unique and special although I have got endless paper which has similar functionality (infinite zoom rather than boards)

[osamaabdulhannan]

Which app would be the best without subscription? I'm new in this . Can anyone please suggest the better one ?
Thank You😇
