Journal's mission is to help people focus and bring new ideas to life. Much of our personal and professional lives run on apps. Yet these tools create boundaries between our activities, require constant checking, and have enabled a culture of interruptions. Journal gives individuals and groups a focused “space” to find, remember, and share all the information they need to have fun and do good work.
