A journal you draw, not one you type
Most journaling apps are built around a text box. Qalma starts from a blank canvas instead. Some days you might sketch what you saw; other days a shape, a mood, or nothing at all. The point is a visual record of the day, made in a minute, that is truer to how the day actually felt than a paragraph would be.
A page a day
Each date has its own canvas, so your journal builds up naturally, one day at a time. Move back through past days and each one returns as you left it, your marks even replay as the page opens, like watching the day be drawn again.
Reflection built in
A visual journal in Qalma is not only images. Each day pairs your canvas with one quote and a short reflection, so the page holds both what you made and something to think about. It is a diary of attention as much as of drawing.
Private, and yours to keep
Your journal lives on your device, not on a public feed, the App Store listing states no data is collected. When you want a copy, Qalma can export your days as a clean PDF, so the record stays yours to hold, print, or archive however you like.
