Daily Line Diary is a simple diary and journal app for recording your day with moods, weather, photos, and stickers. You do not need to write long entries. A one-line diary, a short note, an emotion log, or a photo diary is enough to keep your day in your own way. Write just one line a day. Save todayβs mood, a small moment you want to remember, or one meaningful photo. If you are looking for a simple diary app, daily journal, mood tracker, or private diary, Daily Line Diary helps you start gently and keep going. Add photos and stickers to capture the feeling of each day. Your entries appear on a diary calendar, and mood icons make it easy to look back on how you felt over time. Check your writing streak and total entries to feel a small sense of progress. As your records grow, badges and milestones help you build a daily journaling habit naturally. Keep your private diary safe with a 4-digit PIN lock and biometric authentication. Cloud backup and restore help you preserve your journal entries over time.

Starply

Starply holds two kinds of writing. One is sending stars to your future self. Answer the question that surfaces today and send it off as a star. A month or a year later, it arrives again. By then you've changed a little, so you write back to who you were and leave a new question behind. Slowly, letters travel back and forth between you and yourself. On days when writing feels hard, leave your voice instead. Hearing yourself again, long after, brings that day back more vividly than anything you wrote down. The other is simply today's diary. It doesn't have to be grand. One line about your day and one mood is enough. Your moods and energy build up as colors on the calendar, and the stats show at a glance how you've really been doing. The stars you've sent stay up in the night sky. The farther away one floats, the longer until it arrives. Sometimes just looking up at that sky is enough to quiet your mind. If you find yourself wanting to write more often and at greater length, there's Starply Premium. Basic journaling and opening the stars that arrive are always free. Write down today's heart. For your future self, and for who you are today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Starply at none against Daily Line Diary's 1. Starply also leads on ads (none vs shown). Daily Line Diary's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
