The best!
I had been a decades-long user of DayOne but needed a bit more versatility. Diarly has exceeded my expectations and a bonus is it costs less than DayOne. Thank you for an awesome product. Keep up the good work!
Great app
Please include monthly subscription. $25 per year is too expensive, $9.99 sounds more reasonable, or $1.99 per month.
I used DayOne for YEARS - this is BETTER!
As good DayOne is, it still has issues, I lost files many times and they recommend that I back up their database - just in case. Really have no time for that. Add problems with location entry and a video size limit led me to I was shopping around. I found this app in the wonderful cornucopia that came with my SetApp subscription (free promotion).
This is probably the 5th time I’m importing my DayOne entries; I got fed up and deleted this app each time. Too many niggling issues; I should also add that I tried the others, including Journey - paid for it and got rid of it. No that I’m back checking out Diary, it has improved A LOT.
GOOD
1. Excellent handling of tags - colour coding = nice touch
2. Exceptionally well organised
3. Now adds the option hide markdown tags 👍🏽
4. Filtering is top-notch = by mood, attachment type
5. Imports calendar events = nice
6. Remarkable ability to determine how you want the app to look
BAD
1. Synchronisation problems persist - I still can’t get it to work correctly across my devices
2. Adding locations is still rather iffy
3. Weird an inconsistent way to group photos (I don’t know when it will work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
4. Last time it sucked so much memory, may Mac ran out, and I had to force-quit it
It is a much more mature and dependable app compared to the last time I tried it!
All said this is a class act! My main complaint is the synchronisation issues. If that is resolved, it definitely beats DayOne- right now, I have a journal I can’t delete and I can’t remove it as my default journal either ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
All things considered - I’d get rid of DayOne in a heartbeat if I can get my issues resolved. As it stands - 4 stars; support - your serve!

Love it but something happened
I have been using this app for a long while now and when I got back into it last night all my work was gone I didn’t delete anything no one else was on it either so I don’t know what happened I had a lot and I do mean a lot of poetry haiku on here and I am sad that it is all gone does anyone know what would have happened I tried to do the iCloud thing but it won’t let me sync to it using this app so I guess all of my work is gone forever I hope not but I guess it is what it is
