## What is DiaryTutor?

DiaryTutor turns daily journaling into a natural way to learn a foreign language.

Pick a language. Write a diary entry — about your morning coffee, a conversation, a feeling, anything. Your AI tutor reads it, gently corrects mistakes, suggests more natural phrasing, and explains why. The more you write, the more your tutor learns about your style.

— FOUR AI TEACHERS, EACH WITH A PERSONALITY —
• Yaya — warm, patient, perfect for beginners
• Oliver — precise and encouraging, your structured guide
• Inky — playful and creative, for expressive writers
• Milo — moody but insightful, when you want a sharper edge

Switch teachers anytime. Each one grows alongside you, leveling up from Lv 1 to Lv 15 as you write together — unlocking new expressions, new conversations, and four evolution stages.

— EIGHT LANGUAGES TO CHOOSE FROM —
English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Chinese.
Mix and match. Switch languages whenever you want.

— BUDDIES: A LETTER-BASED PEN-PAL WORLD —
Pair up with a Buddy who's also learning. Exchange letters at your own pace — no pressure, no notifications buzzing every minute. Real practice with real humans, gently moderated.

— DEEP CORRECTIONS, NOT JUST GRAMMAR —
Beyond fixing mistakes, your tutor highlights:
• Code-switching habits (when you accidentally fall back to your native language)
• Naturalness scores
• Writing advice tailored to your level

— PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE —
Earn XP, unlock badges (Gold / Platinum / Cosmic), watch your character evolve, and look back on a growing diary archive in your target language.

— EARLY ACCESS NOTE —
You're using one of the first builds. We're shipping updates fast and listening closely. Tap "Send Feedback" to talk to us directly — every message is read.

Privacy & safety: All diaries are private by default. UGC is moderated by AI and human review. Report and block tools are built in.

Start writing today. The best way to learn a language is to live in it — one diary at a time.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-29

Fixed the day change issue: 
In the past, after writing the last diary entry of the day late at night in the local area, "Today's diary has been completed" may still be displayed early the next morning, and no new diary can be added, and it will not be restored until close to noon. The daily progress will now change according to your time zone, exactly at 3:00am local time.

Continuous writing record reminder is online: 
If you haven’t written a diary today, you will receive a reminder in the evening so that you can keep your continuous record by writing a diary or taking a quick test; corresponding test proposals will also appear when you open the app. Reminders will respect your do not disturb period and notification settings.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-27

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-13

What's new

- Diary auto-share is now multi-select: a diary can fan out to
  every group you opt into at write time.
- Community and group diary feeds get a translate button, with
  per-tier daily quota.
- Home-screen widget readability fix for dark mode.

Thanks for keeping your writing streak going.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-11

New date picker — backfill diary entries for any of the past 7 days.
The day now rolls over at 3:00 AM, so entries written after midnight stay on the previous day.
Your writing streak still counts the day you submitted, not the diary's chosen date.
Fixed an issue where the daily writing prompt sometimes appeared in the wrong language.
