Editors’ Notes

It’s hard to make the best even better, but the sequel to Day One lives up to expectations—and then some. The app keeps its interface streamlined but adds a wealth of new valuable features. Your journal entries contain all sorts of information—you can geolocate them, add tons of photos to each entry, and even see your day’s fitness activity. Switch over to the beautiful new photo view when you’re ready to see your world at a glance.

This day feature is still terrible

Please improve this important for daily journal feature! Let it be even filter or better separate toggle to switch timeline to this day mode.

Don’t trust

First you buy mobile and desktop apps, then they realize it’s not enough and release “v2” which only purpose is to switch to subscription. You ignore and continue using “v1” for which you paid. But then they say “enough is enough, we aren’t going to sync your data anymore”. Which is iCloud data!!! Nuh... Not the company I’d trust my daily notes. Who knows what comes to their mind later. And besides, not the best approach to storing your personal life data anyway: you pay — you have your diary, you don’t pay — you don’t have it.
Looking for more trusted alternative. Bye!

Developer Response ,

Day One Classic has not been updated since March 2016 and now that Day One 2.0 is a free app with similar features we will not be updating Classic again.

Since launching in 2011, we gave away five years of free updates in version 1. The new Day One is a major upgrade and a separate app. It is the result of over four years of design and development. It is now free with many great upgrades but does require a subscription for syncing between devices and other Premium features.

Paying for Day One means that we’ll be able to continue to maintain and develop the Day One apps. We don't have ads and we don't sell your data. Let us know if you have any other questions.
