SMS Journal
Had some good feedback about a journal that would text you daily/3xWeekly with a prompt like, "How was your day?" or "tell me something funny that happened today!"
Whatever you texted back would be logged as a journal entry. Super simple micro-journal that people would actually use.
Which brings me to.. how much would YOU pay for this monthly?
I think it would be better to ask the user through whats app/messenger and store it somewhere and provide reports based on quarterly/yearly will be a great idea
from below:
I'm wanting entries created directly in the messenger. They wouldn't be long, so you'd just reply to prompt with a quick snippet about your day. Just enough detail so that a few months from now, you get a nice memory to access. This is the nice thing about keeping everything inside the messaging app.
You can access memories any time w/ a log-in.
Personally, I don't like to journal but I am sure there are people who are doing it daily. It is sort of a routine thing for them and people usually do it when something happens or maybe a specific time (night). Prompts like this at night can be either a great reminder but might not a unique selling point. There are many journaling apps and I am sure at least some of them are showing notifications for this.
In case you want to integrate with a messenger like Telegram or Whatsapp, how do you plan on accessing the old journal entries?
to address yours and @jaykeerti123's great points:

Thoughts?
From what I understood, if I use this my user experience would be following -
Every night I will receive a message like "Hey man. Anything interesting happen today?" and I will reply with something like "Yeah. I met this awesome person. Blah blah blah".
And this will be saved almost like a chat. TBH I am not sure I will pay for this but I would use this.
Okay, thanks for feedback!
With nowadays 24/7 connected to Internet phones, my opinion- and I might be wrong :) - is that SMS will be obsolete in a matter of 2-3 years... I honestly don't see any value in this kind of business. Maybe pharmaceutics SMS on elder people might still work... sorry to say this, but it's just my opinion.
Best,

Fair enough. Replace 'sms' with your text-based messaging of choice.
