Journal for macOS
A native journaling app for macOS inspired by Apple's Journal app for iOS
## 🌟 About
Since Apple hasn't brought their beautiful Journal app to macOS yet, I decided to create a native macOS version that captures the same elegant simplicity and thoughtful features. This app lets you document your thoughts, track emotions, and reflect on your days - all with a clean, native macOS interface.
## ✨ Features
- 📝 Clean, distraction-free writing experience
- 🎨 Beautiful, native macOS design
- 😊 Track your emotions with an intuitive Emotion Orb
- 📊 Insightful writing statistics
- 🗂 Organized by months
- 🌙 Supports system appearance
- ⚡️ Fast and lightweight
- 💾 Local storage with iCloud sync coming soon
## 🖥 Screenshots

### Requirements

## 🛠 Tech Stack
