A stunning refresh to help you write more, think clearer
Diarly is a daily journal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, built to help you remember more of your life with less effort. It can automatically add helpful context to each day — like sleep, activity, moods, places, and more — so your journal feels richer before you even start writing. Over time, Diarly becomes a private, searchable timeline of your life, helping you revisit moments, notice patterns, and understand yourself better. Private by design. Made for the long run.
Diarly provides dozens of light and dark themes, custom backgrounds, fonts, templates, and the ability to create personalized journal prompts. Users can build separate journals for different life areas, use slash commands for quick insertion of time/location/weather, and enable typewriter mode for focused writing.
Diarly offers multiple navigation views (timeline, calendar, map, gallery), advanced search with word filtering, tagging, and linking between entries. Password protection and end-to-end encryption keep journals private. Users can export to markdown or PDF and import from other apps, avoiding vendor lock-in.
Diarly includes integrated mood tracking, emotion logging, and advanced statistics that surface patterns across words, moods, tags, and life events. Users can monitor writing progress, set writing goals, and gain insights into their mental state without external interpretation—the app presents data, users find meaning.
Diarly provides a distraction-free, minimalist interface with pre-populated prompts, weather, location, and calendar events to reduce blank-page anxiety. Users can write one sentence or full entries, with automatic saving and cross-device sync via iCloud, making daily journaling effortless and consistent.
Diarly supports photos, videos, audio recordings with transcription (Premium), drawings, files, and embeds location, weather, calendar events, and Apple Health data automatically. Gallery and map views let users browse memories visually, and the 'On This Day' feature surfaces past entries for reflection.
