DAY
Day One Journal: Private Diary
Gratitude, travel, daily notes
When you’re trying to capture all that’s going on in your life, sometimes words are not enough. That’s why this elegant journaling app goes beyond basic “Dear Diary” entries to include photos, audio, sketches, and other digital ephemera.
What we love: How Day One helps you create a complete snapshot of your day. As you write, it’ll record the date, time, and location, plotting them on a map and calendar. If you like, import the weather, the last song you played on Apple Music, or your step count for the day.
Quick tip: Want the ease of a digital journal with the nostalgia of a paper one? Export your journal as a beautifully bound book.
Meet the creator: Paul Mayne, founder of Bloom Built, created Day One largely for his own use. “I had this idea for a life-tracking application, but it was too complicated,” he says. “Finally I realized I should just start with something simple.”
