About

Read full description

Dating Diary is a private, lightweight way to remember how each date actually felt. Create a separate profile for each person, choose a cute pixel-animal avatar, and record how you met, the date, what you did, and anything worth remembering. When you meet again, add a new date to the same profile without re-entering their details. The flow stays quick: choose a past or current date, select multiple activities, tap the tags that fit, then add an optional note or positive or negative adjustment. You can edit saved profiles, tags, scores, and diary entries later, or delete drafts and records you no longer need. Dating Diary organizes your entries into clear scores, timelines, rankings, and diary cards. Adjust what matters to you, including spark, comfort, conversation, boundaries, reliability, vibe, and lifestyle fit. Filter profiles by status or where you met, then sort by score or date count. Key features: • Keep a private profile and timeline for each person • Add multiple dates without re-entering profile details • Record past dates and select multiple date activities • Apply quick tags for chemistry, conversation, comfort, boundaries, and everyday habits • Add custom tags, private notes, and an optional positive or negative adjustment • Edit or delete saved profiles, dates, tags, notes, and scores • Compare profiles by score, date count, status, source, or individual dimensions • Adjust the importance of each scoring dimension • Use blue or pink themes and cute pixel-animal avatars • Follow the iPhone system language and text size • Create privacy-friendly diary cards that can hide real names and notes The score is a personal reference based on your preferences, not a public judgment of another person.
