Oblisten vs DayJournal

Give your Obsidian notes a voice. Oblisten turns Markdown notes into a personal listening library. Connect a vault stored on your iPhone or in iCloud Drive, choose a note or folder, and keep listening while you walk, commute, or take a break. LISTEN YOUR WAY • Apple on-device text-to-speech, with selectable Chinese and English system voices • Background playback, Lock Screen controls, and headset controls • Continuous playback with five speed levels: 0.8×, 1.0×, 1.2×, 1.5×, and 2.0× • A sleep timer that stops after a chosen duration, the current note, or the current queue • Resume playback, follow spoken text, or start from a paragraph EXPLORE YOUR VAULT • Browse folders and search note titles or content • Play individual notes or a folder of notes • Create listening templates using folders, tags, and path keywords • Choose random or sequential playback • Browse recently updated notes and recent playback history • Open the current note in Obsidian BUILT AROUND YOUR NOTES Oblisten cleans Markdown formatting for speech and scans your authorized vault for changes. Your local index, playback history, and listening preferences stay on your device. Speech uses Apple system voices; no account, API key, or cloud speech service is required. Oblisten never modifies your vault files and does not provide Obsidian sync. Files stored in iCloud Drive must be available on your device for reading.

DayJournal is a planner you write in. Pick up Apple Pencil and write directly on the calendar — in the day, the week, the month or the year — and your handwriting belongs to the date you wrote it on, not to a spot on the screen. Write a note in a day's box on the month grid and it's there, larger, at the top of that day in the week and in the day view. Zoom in to write, zoom out to see the whole month. Travel across time zones and Monday's note is still on Monday. A CALENDAR THAT'S ALSO PAPER • Day, week, month and year views, each laid out like a printed page and zoomed like one — the writing, the dates and the lines grow together • Scroll straight through the months, weeks and years • Write across several days and the line runs across them, in every view • Tap a date in the header to jump anywhere; Today is one tap away • Each view remembers where you left it, like a ribbon in a paper planner YOUR EVENTS, IN SYNC • Two-way sync with the calendars already on your device — iCloud, Google, Exchange and more • Events show as blocks on the same page you write on • Press and drag down the hours to create an event exactly as long as you need, or tap + for timed and all-day events A SHEET OF PAPER FOR EVERY DAY • Add full A4 pages to any day — as many as you like • Blank, ruled or dotted, on white or a soft tint, chosen per page • Layouts to fill in: Cornell notes, checklists, a habit tracker and more • Expand a page to fill the whole screen when you want room to think NOTEBOOKS • Notebooks for everything that isn't about a date — meeting notes, lists, sketches • File them in folders and sort by name or last edited • Browse every page you've written, by month, in the Notes library ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, AND ON PAPER • Widgets for this month, today's note and the hour you're in, with DayJournal Plus • Export a page or a whole notebook as a PDF — to print, save to Files or send — with DayJournal Plus • Color themes for the app around your pages, with DayJournal Plus A PENCIL CASE THAT'S YOURS • Three pen slots, each set to a pen, a pencil or a highlighter, in any color and width • A pencil that looks like graphite on paper — press harder to go darker • Pressure-sensitive ink that follows your hand, with gentle smoothing that keeps your handwriting yours • Draw a line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse or triangle and it snaps into a clean shape, with an optional fill • Text boxes for notes you want to type, with bold, italic, lists, alignment and any font on your device • Object or pixel eraser • Stickers: a free pack, and every other pack with DayJournal Plus MOVE THINGS AROUND • Lasso any handwriting to move, resize, rotate or recolor it • Cut, copy, paste and duplicate — and copy on iPhone, paste on iPad with Universal Clipboard MADE FOR THE HAND THAT WRITES • Palm rejection, so resting your hand never scrolls the page • Lock the page while you write • On iPhone, write with your finger; on iPad, Apple Pencil writes and your finger scrolls YOURS, AND PRIVATE • Works completely offline — no account needed • Your planner lives on your device • Optional sign-in syncs your handwriting between your iPhone and iPad DAYJOURNAL PLUS • Free: every view and tool, sync, and up to five notebooks — each day with paper counts as one, and the pages inside never count • DayJournal Plus adds unlimited notebooks, every color theme and sticker pack, home screen widgets and PDF export • Monthly or yearly, starting with a 7-day free trial • Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
