5 Minutes Journal turns two short conversations with Notis into a private daily journal. The app is for reading and reflecting; Notis holds the check-ins and saves what you choose to share.

​
Install and set it up

  1. Open Store and install 5 Minutes Journal.
  2. Open the Journal menu in your sidebar and choose Set up Journal.
  3. Choose your morning time, evening time, days, timezone, and where you want the check-ins delivered.
  4. Review the plan Notis shows you, then confirm it.
Notis creates one morning check-in and one evening reflection. If you run setup again later, it updates the matching schedule instead of creating duplicates.

​
What the check-ins ask

The morning check-in covers your waking mood, how you feel, energy, motivation, three gratitudes, an intention, and an affirmation. The evening reflection comes back to the same day. It asks how the day felt overall, what stood out, what you learned, and whether you want to add anything in your own words. If you skipped something in the morning, Notis can gently pick it up here. You can answer partially or skip a question. Journal leaves missing details blank and never turns a missed day into a warning.

​
Read your Journal

  • Journal shows each day with its morning and evening sections.
  • Stats shows mood changes, energy, motivation, consistency, common mood words, and recent gratitudes once you have enough entries.
  • Search helps you find moods, gratitudes, highlights, lessons, and free-form reflections.
Your answers live in your own Journal database. The app displays those entries; it does not create hidden copies of your journal.

​
Change or stop the routine

Choose Set up Journal again and tell Notis the new schedule. You can also open Automations to pause, edit, or remove either check-in.
