Have you ever tried to cultivate a journaling habit and failed? It can happen to everyone: Some days seem too humdrum to mention, while others are so busy that you just can’t find the time. But Line a Day tries to reduce the tyranny of the blank page by limiting what you can write to 100 characters. That’s less than a tweet — certainly you can come up with at least that much on any given day. Users can also post a picture in their entry. You can review your posts at any time and even have the option to read a month’s worth of lines together if you want to reminisce.

The app is free, but ad-supported — you will see an ad every time you save an entry, for example. It may be worth it for some to pay the $2 to get rid of ads. In addition to getting an ad-free experience, the premium version of the app will also let you upload up to three pictures to any given entry as well as an audio clip.

Free, for iOS.
