Connected journals bring the best of analog and digital worlds together

Anyone who keeps a journal or a diary of some sort, knows that digital applications cannot beat paper journals, having a tangible notebook that you can touch and feel, is much more satisfying than writing on a cold computer or mobile app. I have been a fan of journaling myself, and I tried so many digital apps for quiet some time, and I found so many interesting apps, but I always go back to the paper journal, because it just feels more intimate.

Having that said, paper notebooks come with their own limitations, for example there is always a limit to the number of photos you can attach to the story you are writing before the page becomes messy. And there are certain items that you can never attach to a paper journal, like videos and audio recordings. Also it is sometimes really hard to go back and find a story that you wrote a while ago without having to browse through the pages of many journals, especially if you fill notebooks so fast like me.

But as technology advances, we start to find new ways of doing the old things, and disruptive ideas surface to change the way we do things and overcome the limitations we always faced.

Revo Journal is an example of those innovative ideas, it combines the best of the analog and digital worlds together. By incorporating QR Code technology to the paper notebook, it allows you to attach items from your mobile phone to the pages of your paper journal.

The journal comes with an associated mobile app that you can use to scan the code at the pages of the journal and attach items from your mobile to that specific page. And then anytime in the future, you can scan the code again to view all the items attached to that page. The app allows users to attach photos, videos, sound recordings, locations and keywords to each page of the journal.

Revo Journal is a new innovative idea that will revolutionize the way we keep our diary and journals, and currently there is a fund raising campaign on Kickstarter to bring it to life. Once the campaign succeeds, backers will get the completed product as a reward for their pledges.
