One entry a day, and a flock of sheep grows with you. Every 7-day streak brings a new sheep. No accounts, no servers — your diary lives only in your own iCloud.
Write one diary entry a day — and grow a flock of sheep while you do it.
Every 7-day writing streak welcomes a new sheep to your pasture, and a golden special sheep joins every 30 days. Miss a day and your flock falls asleep until you come back. NoDiary turns journaling into a habit you'll actually keep.
Everything you write stays yours: no accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your diary lives in your personal iCloud and nowhere else.
WHY NODIARY
• One entry per day — no pressure to write more, no guilt about less
• Grow your flock — every streak brings a new sheep, with costumes to unlock
• Mood at a glance — pick a sheep expression each day and watch your calendar fill up
• Auto weather — every entry quietly remembers what kind of day it was
• Photos — attach your favorite moments to any entry
• Monthly stats — entries, streaks, moods and your most active day
• Daily writing prompts — for the days you don't know where to start
• Private by design — Face ID lock, no sign-up, works fully offline
• iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad, with export anytime
• Import your old diary — from Day One, a folder of text files, a CSV, or a NoDiary export
NoDiary is free. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full flock and sheep costumes — no subscriptions, ever.
Already journaling somewhere else? Bring it with you: import fills your calendar the day you arrive, and your flock grows to match your longest run of writing.
Your thoughts deserve a calm, private pasture. Start today — your first sheep arrives in a week.
I wrote a review on the iMac version. It does sync just make sure you are using the same apple ID on both. But what I see now is when you write a long passage on the iMac you can't scroll all the way down if using your iPhone. The keypad is in the way. I don't see where you can hide the keyboard. And again scrolling to the bottom so you can type you can't. It only goes so far. I had to use two thumbs to force it but it snaps back up to the top again. Weird.
Bring your old diary with you.
Been journaling somewhere else? NoDiary can take it in now — and your calendar is full the day you arrive.
• Import from Day One, a folder of .txt or .md files, a CSV, or a NoDiary export
• See exactly what will happen before anything is written: how many entries were found, which years they span, and how many same-day entries get joined into one
• Days you have already written are never touched
• Your flock grows to match your longest run of writing — years of entries, and the sheep to show for it
• Tap the month name to jump to any month — paging one at a time does not suit five years of history
Also in this update, for Pro:
• A painted pasture that follows the seasons — and a starlit one after dark
• Twelve sheep costumes instead of four: flower crown, straw hat, beret, beanie, earmuffs, bandana, headphones and more
• Name your sheep
Everything saves to your device first, then syncs to your own iCloud. Nothing you wrote elsewhere has to be left behind.
