No followers. Just you and what the song made you feel. WRITE • Search any song in Spotify’s catalog, or pick one from your recently-played list • Long-form composition with auto-saving drafts, so nothing’s ever lost • Save songs for later when you’re not ready to write yet • Edit any entry whenever you want BACKDATE ANY MEMORY • Add an entry for today, last week, or twenty years ago • Three date precisions: a specific day, a specific month, or just the year • The diary groups your entries by date, with sections for Today, Yesterday, and every month and year before SEE A SONG’S HISTORY • Tap any song name in an entry to see every entry you’ve ever written about it • Watch the same song mean different things to you over time YOUR DIARY, YOURS ALONE • No social features.
