Day One Journal: Private Diary
Day One is an award-winning digital journaling app that has been named Apple's App of the Year with over 15 million downloads and 200,000 5-star ratings globally. It allows users to record their lives in a completely private digital space. The app offers unlimited text entries with powerful rich text formatting, different journals for different aspects of life, and a beautiful design.
Day One prioritizes privacy and security, with automatic backups, end-to-end encryption, and passcode, TouchID, or FaceID protection for journal entries. Export options ensure that entries always remain personal. The app also helps users form a journaling habit and stay consistent with streaks, calendar views, reminders, daily prompts, customizable templates, and a summary view of activities. Day One integrates with the Health app to track mindfulness minutes.
In addition to text, Day One allows users to include unlimited photos, videos, handwritten entries or drawings, and voice recordings with transcription. The app is available on various platforms, including iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, and allows users to text or email entries directly to their journals.
Day One is built with features that enhance reminiscing, such as the On This Day feature, tags, favorites, search filters, and a map view that shows all the places a user has journaled from. The app also offers print capabilities to turn digital journals into physical books.
The app saves users time by automatically adding time, date, weather, moon phase, and other information to every entry. It integrates with various apps and services like Spotify, YouTube, Fitbit, and more through IFTTT applets. Siri Shortcuts and the Share sheet feature allow for automation and content importing from other apps, such as Apple Photos and Safari.
Day One is free to use forever with unlimited entries, but additional features like unlimited photos, videos, and audio recordings are available with a Day One Premium membership, which users can start a free trial of.
The app's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are available on the official Day One website, where users can also find technical assistance or contact the support team.
