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

Ratings and reviews

Update: it finally seems to not be crashing as much but typing is always such a pain. It doesn't have autocorrect and then when you try to go backspace to fix the error in your word, it will automatically repeat the first part of the word. I want to like this app more, but honestly it is maddening that it shuts down every 2-3 minutes. If they could fix that it might be worth it. But it's seriously ridiculous how often it just freezes and shuts down.

I'm obsessed. I have always been a constant journal keeper and have mostly preferred handwritten books but this app has changed everything for me. I love having multiple journals, some photo-based, and tags as well to keep things organized across time and topics. The synchronization across devices would be better if it werent somewhat delayed, but it's still awesome!! Pricing is great too. Can't recommend highly enough!

Problems... I got this after reading an ad article about how great it is and so far, not impressed. I'm typing it on my phone and it doesn't auto correct--which is annoying since my fat thumbs don't always hit the right keys. And when I do backspace to change one letter, it adds the correctly spelled word AFTER the misspelled word, so I have to delete everything. May change review if it works better but not impressed so far
