See your consecutive days of journaling grow. Watching your streak climb from 7 to 30 to 100 days motivates you to keep the practice going.

The streak isn't about perfection—it's about consistency. Build the habit one day at a time.

Never Miss a Day with Reminders

Configure reminders for your schedule:

Private and Secure

Your journal is completely private. Only you can access your entries. Hearth takes security seriously—your personal reflections stay personal.

Organize Your Entries

Use folders to organize different types of journaling:

• Daily entries: Chronological journal
• Gratitude: Things you're thankful for

Set Daily Writing Goals

Set a time-based goal like "journal for 10 minutes daily." Track your progress and see yourself meet goals day after day.

Small, achievable goals build the habit. Once journaling becomes automatic, you'll naturally write longer.
