As a kid I grew up with very strict people around me, and privacy was something I didn’t have most of the time, I’m now 18 and have a cellphone that I bought and pay each month, so there’s that just for reference.
I’ve tried other apps that don’t have that, or they do have it but you have to upgrade to premium for it but not this one. What’s really great about this app is that it has a feature where you can create a passcode for the app or even choose to unlock it with your Face ID like your phone. It’s nice to write down a reflection of how your day was, a good or bad moment of your day, something that triggered you, someone that hurt you or about the past. I love to write, as an over-thinker and someone who ruminates on things a lot it’s something very therapeutic. I didn’t use any of the other features in that year so I ended up reverting back to the basic package, but I’m sure those extra features will be useful for others! I could only record a couple of minutes at a time and I didn’t end up using it as much as I thought I would. I did try out Day One Premium for 1 year because I wanted to use the video feature. Day One is a perfect judge-free zone where I won’t look back on a post 5 years later and feel deep regret for making that thought public. We all have those thoughts we just want to get out and social media isn’t always the place for that. Since it’s much more stable and reliable on iPhone it’s been a joy to use on-the-go. I’m just now starting to use it to record smaller and simpler thoughts throughout the day to replace social media and it’s doing wonders for my mental health. Over time it has expanded into several different journals. I mainly use this app as a “mind dump” whenever I feel overwhelmed and to record my dreams. I truly enjoy looking back over the years to see how far I have come. Over the years the developers have absolutely refined Day One into one of the best apps you can invest in on the App Store. When I first started using the Day One, it was limited and the phone app was incredibly buggy especially on iPhone.
I have always kept a journal since I was a kid but I wanted something password protected to use on my MacBook. I have been using Day One for about 4 years now. Additional features, including unlimited photos, videos, and audio recordings, are available with a Day One Premium membership.įor technical assistance or other inquiries:
