## What is Diary Keeper?

Diary Keeper is a private diary that makes it easy to write a little every day and find it again years later.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-27

This update is about finding your words again, and keeping them yours.

Type a word and the day it belongs to appears. Lock the door behind you with Face ID. Open your diary on your iPad and it is already there.

When the page feels empty, a prompt or a template gets you started. When it feels loud, Focus mode clears everything but the cursor.

And one small surprise: on quiet mornings, the diary now shows you what you wrote on this day a year ago.

Your entries can leave as a PDF booklet or a full backup. They never have to leave any other way.
