CHALLENGE
October writing challenge
Each month, a theme to write differently. In October: what you still carry inside. Then read what other diarists wrote.
Diariste · Your Private Diary
Write, feel, share
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: Diariste is ready for iPhone Duo. Folded or open, your private journal follows you everywhere, on every screen.
Diariste is your private journal, designed to help you truly write, day after day. A caring community since 2010, with more than 85,000 members.
A brand new app
The app has been completely rebuilt. It opens in an instant, pages glide under your finger, and your whole journal fits in your pocket.
Your memories on your home screen
The Memories widget brings back an entry you wrote on this day in a past year. The Live journal widget draws the sky of your day and lets you add a note in one tap.
Meet Lumi
Lumi is your caring writing companion. When the words won't come, you talk to Lumi. He listens without ever judging, and can turn your conversation into an entry you keep in your journal.
Write your way
Text, photos, audio, videos, mood of the day, keywords, fonts and colors. And if you don't feel like typing, voice dictation turns your voice into text you can read over and edit.
A journal for every chapter of your life
Create as many journals as you like: daily life, pregnancy, travel, reading, gratitude, childhood memories... each with its own atmosphere.
Look back on your year
Statistics, calendar, moods over the months: Diariste turns your entries into a gentle overview of how you've grown. Never judgmental, always to help you understand yourself better.
Coming from another app?
Import your journal from Day One, Daylio, Journey or a Markdown file. Your whole history comes with you.
Your privacy first
Your entries are private by default. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID, turn on two-factor authentication, and see at a glance which devices are signed in to your account. With a legacy contact, you choose who will receive your journal when you're gone.
Easy on the eyes at night
Dark mode rests your eyes when you write late, and discreet mode keeps your journal away from prying eyes.
A real community
Discover, share and connect with other journal writers, anonymously or not, and take on the monthly writing challenges.
And one day, a real book
Whenever you like, turn a year of entries into a beautiful printed and bound book. Something to keep, to give, to pass on.
Diariste is free. Go Premium for unlimited writing, multimedia, multiple journals, Lumi and time capsules.
