Possible ServicePlanner Replacement

I’m actively looking for a possible replacement for the ServicePlanner app that I’ve used for years to track return visits and ministry hours. While I’ve really appreciated ServicePlanner, it no longer appears to be actively maintained, which prompted me to explore alternatives. Ministry Journal covers many of the features I’m looking for. It provides a solid way to record notes on calls, track publications placed or videos shown, and manage ministry activity in a structured, thoughtful way. A major advantage for me is cross-platform support: it works on iPhone and iPad, and also has a native Mac app. Syncing is handled through iCloud rather than Dropbox, which I strongly prefer. I also appreciate the ability to set personal monthly goals (such as hours) and track progress against them. The app uses Apple’s latest Liquid Glass design language, feels modern and polished, and appears to be regularly updated by the developer. Ministry Journal uses a subscription model, which I personally see as a positive. For apps like this, ongoing revenue is important to support long-term updates and maintenance (Luke 14:28–30). I’ve subscribed on a monthly basis and plan to run it in parallel with ServicePlanner for the next few months to evaluate how it performs in real-world use. It’s not a 1:1 replacement for ServicePlanner yet, but it has real potential. One area for improvement would be better transparency and tooling around known issues. I believe I’ve encountered a couple of software defects, and it would be helpful to have a clear way to review known issues and report bugs outside of leaving an App Store review or sending an email. Overall, Ministry Journal is a promising, modern option for ministry tracking, and I’m optimistic about its future as it continues to evolve.
