The practice
Build your ritual
First thing in the morning
Our mind is a non-stop thinking machine. The only time when it feels refreshed is morning. Writing in the morning lets you set the tone for the entire day and fills you with good thoughts.
Write with no rules
Morning Pages is about allowing your stream of consciousness to appear on the page. Don't worry about grammar or misspellings; concentrate your mind on the present moment and let those words flow.
A regular habit
A regular writing habit will help you clear your mind, reduce anxiety, and generate new ideas. By releasing your anger, worries, and sorrows you unlock your creative self and get rid of negative thinking.
For your eyes only
Writing Morning Pages is like having a deep conversation with yourself. It's about acknowledging and accepting your thoughts and feelings and learning to trust yourself. This leads to positive thinking and improves your well-being.
The app
Built to keep you writing
Your goal, your pace
Start with an easy 250 words a day, or go for the classic 750. Change your goal whenever life changes.
Streaks that forgive
Watch your chain of writing days grow. Missed a morning? Repair it and keep going, no guilt attached.
Gentle reminders
A quiet nudge at the time you choose, so sitting down with the page becomes a habit rather than a chore.
On This Day
Meet yourself from a year ago. Past pages resurface on their anniversary, right when they mean the most.
Private by design
Lock your pages behind a passcode or Face ID. What you write stays yours, stored on your device first.
Scan handwritten pages
iPhone and iPadPrefer pen and paper? Photograph your longhand pages and keep your whole practice in one place.
AI insights · Pro
Understand what you wrote
Your pages hold more than words. After you write, Morning Pages can show the emotions in your language, your overall mood, and the topics that keep returning. Watch them shift day by day, week by week, month by month.
Emotions and topics
Every page gets its palette of feelings, sorted by how strongly they came through. Mixed feelings count too, from bittersweetness to awe. Topics give a short summary of what you wrote about.
Mood over time
Your writing contains positive, negative, and neutral words. This chart shows your daily, weekly, and monthly mood based on the language you use.
Insights are optional and off by default. Your pages are analyzed only when you ask.
Everywhere you write
On your nightstand, your desk, and your browser
Morning Pages lives on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a full writing experience at my.morningpages.app for any browser. Signed-in writers sync for free on the web, and Pro keeps every device in step.

Words from people who write every morning
Beautiful part of a gruelling commute
I’ve only been using Morning Pages for a few days but I read The Artist’s Way about five years ago. I probably have about 5, half-filled notebooks I used as morning pages in the past few years, but I love having access to these on my phone. Also I adore the beautiful pictures and inspirational quotes. And the analytics are really interesting. No overwhelming ads which is also a breath of fresh air.

Brain drain. Simple effective app
Love this. Simple and effective. A great brain drain.

A delightful app that keeps getting better and better!
I started using this app during the month of its initial release. As such, it had a couple of little niggles but after sending an email to the developer (which was very quick and easy to do from within the app) and getting a reply thanking me for my feedback and the promise that these items would be addressed in the very next update, less than two weeks later, the update came and all my niggles were gone! I love this app, use it every morning, and cannot recommend it highly enough! 😀

My favorite app!
I love this app! It's beautiful and simple. I really like the emotion analysis feature and how I can track my mood changes with time. I thoroughly enjoy writing Morning Pages! It is my favorite app so far.

Perfect - just what I've been waiting for!
There used to be or still is a web based version of morning pages called 750 words but I've been waiting a long time for an app based option. Actually love that it's 500 words with optional to infinity. Also lets you set reminders. Text is fairly large easy to read. Other good features but overall perfect for my needs gets the job done to drain my brain.

Great app!
I have been using this app for about a week now and really enjoy it. I am finding myself opening the app first thing in the morning and letting my thoughts just flow for a while!
