One page a day.
If you have ever kept a diary for four days and then stopped, it was probably the app asking too much. Choose a folder, add tags, pick a template — and the day you meant to write about is still unwritten when you close it.
Daynote has no folders, no tag hierarchies and no template to fill in. There is a date, and there are your words. Open it and the cursor is already sitting on the paper. There is no save button anywhere, because it saves as you write.
■ Writing, within three seconds
· One tap on Write today and you are typing
· No save button and no cancel — what you type stays, even if you back out
· Five moods and eight kinds of weather, one tap each. Skip them and the page still saves
■ Stickers stick to sentences, not to the screen
Put a star beside the thing that went well, draw a wave under the line you want to read again. Later you can raise the text size or rewrite an earlier sentence — the sticker travels with the words it belonged to. What you meant when you placed it survives.
■ Change the theme, keep the diary
Paper, Clay, Pixel, Pastel. The typeface, corners, shadows and writing paper all change together. A star you placed on Paper becomes a dotted star in Pixel — same spot, same angle, same count. The same diary in another edition.
■ A drawer, not a report card
Lookback never counts your streak or grades you on a completion rate. Twelve weeks of heat, the hours you tend to write in, the words you reach for most — and every one of those numbers opens the entry it came from.
■ For your eyes only
Lock it with a six-digit passcode or your fingerprint or face. While locked, even the widget shows nothing. Entries live on this device; there is no account and no sign-in. Back up to a file or to your own cloud whenever you want to.
■ Only two things cost money
Of the four themes, Paper is free and the other three come as a one-time bundle. Removing ads is also one-time. There is no subscription. All twenty papers and every sticker are free from the start.
