Did you ever try to keep a diary but never succeeded? Or did you have writer's block problem? Grid Diary is here for you.
Grid Diary is introducing a unique way of writing a diary. In Grid Diary, diary entry is made up of a number of "Grids", which is as simple as a question, prompt, or etc. It is like a pre-defined template for the diary. Thinking and writing in this way is more effective, and it feels more natural and fluid. You still have total freedom in the amount of the grid and the text you want to fill in a grid.
We started with a simple and clear purpose, and have always kept minimal design in mind. Through carefully crafted gestures, Grid Diary enhanced user experience in many ways.

Grid Diary Classic is now retired
Grid Diary was launched in early 2013 as a paid app. We consistently rolled out free updates, feature upgrades, and customer support for over 6 years.
In January 2019, Grid Diary 2 was released as a brand-new app. We spent over 2 years on new UI design, rewriting every line of code in Swift, building our own sync server… to create the brand-new Grid Diary. Believe it or not, the more we afraid to die out like the small outstanding product (without a steady income to support everlasting development), the more we work hard and value our users.
This app is now renamed to Grid Diary Classic. Users are still able to download it from the App Store. It remains mostly functional, but as software services such as iOS, iCloud, Dropbox change and update, we can no longer keep this legacy app functional.
At this time we recommend transitioning off of Grid Diary Classic into Grid Diary 2 on iOS. Grid Diary 2 was made a free download, and allow users to import their data from Grid Diary Classic at no cost. There is a membership upgrade option via subscription for users that want sync, passcode lock, color themes, and many other new features. We are also offering a 6-month free trial for pro users.
The new subscription model in Grid Diary 2 allows us to continue updating this single version indefinitely. We will never release a new, separate app, all future updates and upgrades will be part of this app binary.
Some of you may be surprised by this change. But it’s the result of a long-term discussion about how to put Grid Diary’s development, and the future of our small team, on a sustainable foundation.
We feel this is best for our users and for the future of Grid Diary. We believe that it will be a life company for you and we want to be around as long as you are to store your memories.

Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed in new business model
This is a great app that has helped me a lot. However buyer beware: I bought the pro version of this original Grid Diary just 2 months ago only to find out today it will no longer be updated - starting *last* week. Gee, thanks for the warning. I believe developers should be compensated for new releases and understand the need to focus on the new release; but to suddenly cut off updates for customers like myself who paid for this app just a few weeks ago is incredibly disappointing. I believe the fair thing would be to continue maintenance releases for the old version for at least a year so anyone who spent money on it will get a fair return on their investment. By suddenly stopping all updates on the old app, it feels like the dev is trying to force users to spend money on the new app - and spend a lot more at that since it is a subscription model only.
I'm daily journaling! I'm more aware and grateful.
Thanks to this easy to use journaling tool, I am able to keep up with daily journal entries again.
I used to keep a daily hard bound journal for many years, but as interruptions increased, I was missing days and weeks at a time. I'm so glad I am back to daily journaling with the help of this app.
I mostly use it on my iPad, but since it is synced with my iPhone I can journal while I'm waiting for my food at a restaurant like I did yesterday.
An unexpected benefit has been that I find myself being more aware of the important things in life, like making time with family and friends. This is a bigger priority since I'm aware I will be recording it.
I've added a questions like, "Where did I see the hand of God in my life today?" This has helped me spiritually and increased my awareness and gratitude.
I've also added "Things I'm praying for" and "Prayers answered." It's really added value to my life in unexpected ways.
I've added, "Current events" to include what I'm aware of happening in my community and the world and my opinion of it.
I'm emailing my entries to myself and still printing a hard copy because that gives me some security just in case the electronic copy is lost.
I paid for the full version because it's well worth being able to add as many photos as I like. Plus the cost is minimal compared what I used to pay for my hard bound journals.
I highly recommend this!
Great app - highly recommended
I love grid diary. I like that I can customize the prompts to what I want and can change them at anytime. Using this app has helped me to focus on what I am grateful for and celebrate small, daily wins - two things shown to improve our happiness. Even on “bad” days I can always find one thing I am truly grateful for and often that leads to another and another and then the day isn’t so bad after all. I also use it to help me notice accomplishments at work especially on those days that it feels like I ran from one fire to the next and didn’t mark anything off my to-do list.
I truly believe focusing your thoughts on the positive can change your life. Since using this app I have lost 5 pounds and gotten a promotion with a $20,000 pay increase. I’m not saying it was all because of this app but it has certainly helped me keep things in perspective.
