This collaborative journaling app creates a shared writing space for you and your partner, extended family, close friends, classmates or therapist.

What we love: Sharing your thoughts in Waffle feels as familiar as traditional journaling. Pick a design for your journal, then invite others to collaborate. Daily prompts such as “What does it mean to be a good friend?” break the ice and encourage you to go deeper.

Quick tip: When you create an entry, tag it as a standard text post or an event. This makes milestones easier to spot as you skim.

Meet the creator: Co-founder and CEO Satoru Sasozaki launched Waffle after he moved abroad and found himself missing friends and family. “We want Waffle to help people truly understand each other and spark deeper conversations that can be hard to start in person,” he says.
