It's okay if you're not good with words, or if today already feels like a blur. Talk with Haru, your AI friend, and today turns into a diary entry. HaruDiary is a mindful journaling app that lets go of "I have to write it well" and helps you leave your feelings behind, gently, every day. There are no ads. We don't show ads anywhere in the app. ■ Write your diary by chatting with Haru AI Like a friend who asks and listens, Haru draws out what today was like. Your conversation is shaped into one smooth diary entry. The soft sounds Haru makes while talking, and a quiet background hum, make writing feel cozier. Already finished an entry? "Keep chatting" lets you add what happened next. ■ Looking back — a conversation that remembers Haru brings up keywords from what you wrote before and weaves them into today. Wrote in the morning? In the evening Haru asks you about it again. ■ Haru's Letter — a letter written from what you've collected Once you have 5 or more entries, Haru reads them and writes you a letter. Save up more (up to 15) and the letter comes back that much more detailed. Letters stay in your letter box, ready to read again anytime. Your first letter is free — no plan needed. ■ AI writing polish Stuck mid-entry? Haru points out how to capture the day's feelings and what mattered more clearly. ■ Recap cards — your records on a single card See last week, a month, or the whole year gathered onto one card. Save or share any card you like as an image. ■ Expression badges Your expression, senses, feelings and records turn into badges. Consistency you can actually see. ■ Home screen widgets Put the streak, today's question and calendar widgets on your home screen and start writing right away. Pick a system, light or dark color theme to match your home screen. ■ Import a diary from a photo Handwritten pages and text in photos can be read in and kept in HaruDiary. ■ Built to keep for a long time App lock (PIN or biometrics) keeps your records yours. Reminders so a day doesn't slip by. On days when writing is hard, dictate with your voice instead. TXT export lets you take your records elsewhere whenever you want. Dark mode, and support for English, Korean and Japanese. ■ About the subscription (Haru AI) Writing diaries and most of the features above stay free without a subscription.

Change phones or reinstall, and your entries and photos come right back. ■ Entries you wrote earlier go up too Diaries that were only on your device now upload to the cloud the next time you sign in. Nothing to tap. ■ Fixes · Backup no longer stops silently once you have a lot of entries. · "Delete all diaries" now applies to the cloud too, so entries no longer come back after signing in again. · Photos no longer stay on the server after you delete your account. · The free-access reminder no longer says different things in its title and body. ### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-11 ■ Automatic cloud backup for everyone No subscription needed — just sign in and your diary backs up to the cloud on its own. Change phones or reinstall, and your entries and photos come right back. ■ Choose your diary font and text size Pick a handwriting font (Nanum Pen, Gaegu, Nanum Brush) and a text size in Settings. Handwriting fonts download when you pick one, and only your diary changes. ■ Delete straight from the calendar and entry list Delete an entry right from its card. We ask once, so nothing goes by accident. ■ Also in this update Fixed a number of small bugs. ### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-07 ■ Pick your diary font and text size In Settings > Diary font & size you can choose one of three handwriting fonts (Nanum Pen · Gaegu · Nanum Brush), and set the text size to one of four steps (Small · Normal · Large · Extra large). It applies only where you write and read your entries — the rest of the app stays the same. ■ Handwriting fonts download only when you pick one Rather than shipping fonts you may never use, the app downloads just the one you choose. That made the app about 20MB lighter. You can preview each font before downloading it. ■ You can delete an entry There's now a delete button on the entry card in the calendar and on the cards in your entry list. You'll be asked to confirm first, so nothing goes by accident. ■ Fixed: free access showing as a paid subscription The billing screen was showing "Subscribed", a next billing date and a payment method to people who had never paid. Free access now shows only that it's free and when it ends. ■ Also in this update · Fixed the subscription page saying "Write while chatting with Haru — once per entry". There is no per-entry limit on chatting. · Fixed automatic backup not picking up the deletion of your last remaining entry. ### 1.2.3 — 2026-07-31 ■ No more ads — anywhere There are no ads left in the app, and the tracking permission prompt is gone. ■ Haru AI now works on the free plan No time limit — 3 uses per feature each week, refilled every Monday. (Writing with Haru · Polishing your writing · Turning a photo into an entry) The 7-day free trial is gone; instead of stopping when a trial ends, you can keep using Haru for as long as you like. ■ Letters from Haru arrive sooner Just 5 entries is enough for a letter (it used to take 15). Send more and the letter gets more detailed (up to 15), and your first letter is free. ■ There's a letter box now Letters you receive stay in your letter box instead of disappearing, so you can read them again whenever you want. ■ Keep chatting about an entry you already finished Talk with Haru again on a finished entry and only the new parts get written up and added below. If you leave partway through, the conversation is saved. ■ Also in this update · The Day Pass now refills your uses every hour for 24 hours. · Turning photos into entries is no longer capped per entry. · Your remaining chats are shown right on the home screen. · Fixed the large calendar widget looking cramped at the top and bottom in months that span six weeks. · The unlimited plan and the lifetime purchase are no longer sold. If you already bought one, your access stays exactly as it is. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-23 • Conversations with Haru AI feel more natural — it gets curious about what actually happened first, so your story flows easily. • When Haru has a letter ready for you, we'll gently let you know, so you won't miss it. • We removed the banner ad from the screen for a cleaner, cozier writing space. • We made it clearer which features you can use for free. • The subscription and pricing screens are tidied up and easier to read at a glance. • Plus small bug fixes and stability improvements. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
