About this app

Day One is the journaling app that reinvented journaling. Completely private, cross-platform, and designed to never fill up, it’s designed to let you capture your life as you live it. Use Day One as a daily diary, note taking app, travel log, or gratitude journal.

“Day One creates something so rare it feels almost sacred: A completely private digital space.” – New York Times

“Day One makes keeping a journal delightfully easy.” – Wired

“It’s perfect! Does what it says on the box. I was able to import my stuff from another (pricey) journal so that I didn’t lose those entries. It’s easy to add multiple entries to a day and to keep pictures. And it’s lockable, keeping private thoughts protected. I will happily use Day One for years.” – Day One user

Photo upload stopped working (turns photos into a little black square and removes the image) and it will no longer pull the location from the photo which was one of the best features. I hadn't used this regularly for a few months but wanted to catch up on journaling recent trips so I'm not sure how long these have been broken. Happy to update rating when all is fixed. Update: this error also occurs if you try to take a photo from the app (photos turn to little boxes and the image disappears).

I really like the flexability of the app. I can go back and forth using my laptop to my cell phone. I am dissappoint the app is designed with Apple devices only in mind. I wanted to use the templates feature. But, I have a Pixel 7. I feel as that I am paying a premium prices to parts that are not available to me.

I've paid for & used this app almost every day for years & liked it (for business, personal, family, history, news, diary, & photo docs) all the way back since 2017. So I've a lot of very important info in it. But bc it is not keeping up w/technology & Samsung updates, its now stopped working, destroyed a lot of my docs & precious memories, & deleted many of my pics. I've contacted them but they've stopped communicating w/me. So it looks like they will not attempt to save my information for me.

Firstly, I want to apologise if there is a delay in communication. The support team for Day One is small and we’re currently catching up on a high volume of emails. However, we'd be happy to take a look into this for you. Please contact us at support@dayoneapp.com. Thank you.
