What’s New

Version 3.0.10

- Fixed: Hyperlinks and Strikethroughs did not save until other unrelated modifications have been done to trigger autosave.
- Fixed: Importing photos taken directly from the Camera within the app did not do anything.
- Fixed: Some users may have had troubles installing the app on the Apple Watch.
- Fixed: Images may be stuck "loading" - they are caused by previously deleted images of which the app still thinks exists and is trying to load.
- Fixed: Dragging and dropping images to export images out of the app, or copy images to multiple entries, may cause the app to incorrectly use low resolution thumbnails of the image.
- Fixed: Images may flicker upon selection of an entry, upon autosave, or upon scrolling through lists or pages with images.
- Fixed: Smart Search did not correctly account for search terms consisting of the day of the week (so searching for "Saturday" did not work).
- Improved: Added more hints of Safe Mode and direct shortcuts to exit it.
- Improved: Disabling image previews will now show a placeholder image instead of a blank space.

Excellent diary, love the multiple diary function!

I started using this about 2 weeks ago. I love it’s simple features. I like that it slides to a side bar out of sight until I swipe it over, unlock it with my face, then go directly to add an entry. Simple, clean with no fussy stuff. I track treatments for an autoimmune disease. I then thought, I wish I could write a different diary for helping me track the foods I eat for my weight loss. Low and behold, it has a book icon, where you can create different diaries. Yea! Just what I was looking for! So now it satisfies that need. I didn’t want to write my treatment and the foods I eat into the same diary, which would not be conductive for me to quickly check when my last treatment was.

This diary also supports backing up to my iCloud, and I can put images in the entries. I haven’t done that yet, but it’s a convenient feature.

So thank you support team for making a really nice app that I don’t need to subscribe to.

Been loving this app for a long time!

I started using this app I-don't-know-how-many years ago when my husband's vascular dementia was beginning to take more control of his mind. I needed a safe, simple place to write down my feelings/thoughts/etc. that he couldn't gain access to. But I didn't want to pay for it. This app popped up in my search and I've been using it ever since. I liked that it's simple to use, easy to "lock", and even had some cute metadata and the ability to attach photos from my phone's photo app. My husband got his angel wings last year so I no longer need to worry about him somehow getting access to it; but I do still like using it, especially on my new-to-me iPhone 11 with the Face ID. I just hope it won't get wiped away with iOS17* updates.

Grateful

I’m very, very, very grateful for this diary app!!! You have NO idea just how grateful I really am. This diary app is very secure and private; especially when I need to keep certain things in my life private. This diary app has always been there for me to write out how I’m feeling in a judgement-free zone anytime something new or interesting happens in my life or most importantly, anytime I am dealing with rough patches. Point is that, this personal diary app is a real lifesaver. Without it, I don’t know where else to vent out my feelings freely. I find the personal diary app to be very therapeutic and enjoyable although, I highly recommend that the app adds more NEW colorful themes or backgrounds to choose from to make it more striking and interesting. Other than that, I’m very grateful for this personal diary app😌
