Daylio
Dear diary, today I have found a very nice app in which I can keep track of my daily activities. Daylio is a very comprehensive app, but it works very simply. It is a kind of diary in which I can write a story every day. In addition to my story, I can also add a photo and describe my feeling about the day via emoticons.
Also nice are the icons that I can choose from the household chores and hobbies that I have engaged in. What makes the app extra fun are the weekly goals that I can set. It is a pity that the full app is so expensive, but so far I have been able to work well with the basic version.
