Michael Zhang, the founder of the photography site PetaPixel, created the app to make it easier for folks to create a [record of their lives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifenote). The app is incredibly easy to use. Simply open it up and add either a photo (with or without text) or text about what you're currently doing or thinking. The app records the data and puts it online on a blog that you can make either public or private. The Bokeh app makes it ridiculously easy to live-blog your day as you can update it anytime simply by turning on your phone. Additionally, the site itself is a great way to see where you were in the past as it allows you to access any of your old posts via a [clickable calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-ago). The Bokeh app is available for iOS now and an Android version is currently in development. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Diaries:** The trend of digital diaries like the Bokeh app presents opportunities for creating innovative platforms that seamlessly record and share personal experiences. - **Real-time Life Documentation:** Real-time life documentation apps, such as Bokeh, offer disruptive innovation opportunities in the realm of personal storytelling and self-reflection. - **Mobile Blogging:** The rise of mobile blogging apps like Bokeh highlights the potential for disruptive innovations in the field of mobile content creation and publishing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing new features and functionalities for digital diary apps like Bokeh. - **Content Creation:** The content creation industry can leverage the trend of real-time life documentation to create innovative platforms and tools that empower individuals to record and share their personal stories. - **Mobile Apps:** Mobile app development industry can tap into the potential of mobile blogging apps like Bokeh by creating intuitive, user-friendly platforms that enable seamless content creation and sharing on the go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Privacy-Focused Diary Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterflow-diary.md) - [Social Vlogging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlogging-app.md) - [Life-Logging Digital Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-journal.md) - [Private Photo Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory.md) - [Visual Timelapse Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfiestory.md) - [Private App-Based Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-1.md) - [AI Journaling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mebot-for-ios.md) - [Passive Memory Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holoholo-app.md) - [Daily Self-Improvement Record Keeping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-book-of-life.md)
