Day One is the journal app that reinvented journaling. Completely private, cross-platform, and designed to never fill up, Day One is designed to let you capture your life as you live it. Use Day One as a daily journal, personal diary, note taking app, travel log, or gratitude journal.

“Day One creates something so rare it feels almost sacred: A completely private digital space.” – New York Times

“Day One makes keeping a journal delightfully easy.” – Wired

“It’s perfect! Does what it says on the box. I was able to import my stuff from another (pricey) journal so that I didn’t lose those entries. It’s easy to add multiple entries to a day and to keep pictures. And it’s lockable, keeping private thoughts protected. I will happily use Day One for years.” – Day One user

Excellent with one exception: you cannot search inside a particular note. Here's how Day One search works - it returns a list of notes that contain your search term. You cannot search INSIDE a note using the Day One app. This is a huge deficiency. To get around this, use your PC to open Day One on the web. However, this does not work from your mobile device. If you try to use a web browser to access the Day One website you are redirected to the app. Bummer.

Not ready for prime time. Used this app for about a half hour, and the incompleteness of it kept adding up. Pretty sure it's still in Beta, so I'll wait for the actual product. My first grievance was that there's no way to change the font. Followed immediately by the "dealbreaker" that there's no way to lock it. Only started exploring the Windows version at this point - it was enough to turn a "maybe" into a solid "no". Also not thrilled about the RENTAL program (can't purchase).

I've been using this app on my iPhone for over a year now and I love it. I recently switched over to the S25 Ultra and noticed a slight difference between how the font appears on iOS &, how it appears on Android. The default font appears smoothly throughout the ios version, but on android it's not the same. Please fix! The premium cost is still a bit too high in my opinion.
