Inside jot: The Journal That Finally Matches Lola’s Vibe

Lola wasn’t journaling when she found jot’s skins.

She was procrastinating, daydreaming, dawdling.

One of those days where she’d opened her journal, written half a sentence, stared at it, sighed, and thought, I need a change of scenery. Not a life overhaul — just… something different.

So she started clicking.

Settings. Sidebar. A section she hadn’t really noticed before. Skins .

Twenty ways to change the mood of your journal

What Lola didn’t expect was choice. So much choice.

Jot doesn’t offer a look for your journal — it offers twenty. Soft, earthy greens. Muted lavenders. Clean sky blues. Bold cherries. Calm grayscale. Colours that feel fresh, grounding, playful, dramatic, or quietly reassuring.

And the best part? There’s no fuss. No redesigning layouts or restarting your diary. Just one tap, and your journal becomes something else.

Same words. New world.

Why the look of a journal actually matters

Lola realised something almost immediately: she wanted to write more.

Not because she’d suddenly had a breakthrough thought — but because the space she was writing in finally felt right. The page felt welcoming. Less serious. Less “say something profound or don’t bother”.

Journaling is vulnerable. You’re showing up with half-formed thoughts, bad moods, tiny wins, spirals, joys. Doing that in a space that feels cold or generic doesn’t help. Doing it in a journal that feels like yours does.

Enter: Bubblegum

After a brief flirtation with Sage and a moment of consideration for Lavender, Lola landed exactly where she was always going to: Bubblegum .

Pink. Soft. Playful. Slightly indulgent.

It didn’t make her journal less meaningful — it made it easier to open. Easier to stay. Easier to be honest. The pink didn’t judge. It didn’t demand productivity or clarity. It just… let her write.

Pink fantasies: fulfilled.

Your journal, but on your terms

That’s what jot’s skins quietly do. They let your journal meet you where you are.

Maybe today you want calm and grounding. Maybe next month you’ll want bold and expressive. Maybe you’ll strip everything back to grayscale and let the words do all the talking.

Your journal doesn’t have to look the same forever — because you don’t stay the same forever.

With twenty different skins, Jot lets your diary shift with your mood, your taste, your season of life. It becomes less like an app and more like a space you actually want to return to.

And sometimes, that’s all it takes to start writing again.
