Automatically Sync Journal Entries Across Devices

Free to Use For a Limited Time
While we’re in beta, the Day One web app is available to everyone and won’t count against your device limit if you are a free user.
Позже в сервис обещают добавить ИИ-функции.
Компания Automattic Windows-версию популярного приложения для ведения дневника Day One. Оно уже появилось в Microsoft Store и временно предоставляется бесплатно. В частности, доступна синхронизация с другими устройствами без ограничений по количеству гаджетов.
Ранее Day One можно было использовать только на iOS, macOS, Android и в веб-версии. Приложение для Windows имеет тот же минималистичный интерфейс и обеспечивает такую же защиту данных, как на других платформах. Записи при резервном копировании в облако шифруются, а сам текст хранится локально.
Приложение позволяет добавлять мультимедиа и теги к заметкам, а также получать ежедневные подсказки для вдохновения. Однако функции вроде ведения нескольких журналов, записи видео и аудиофайлов, а также голосового ввода доступны только с премиум-подпиской.
Разработчики также планируют добавить в Day One ИИ-функции, включая контекстные подсказки для записей и краткие обзоры прошлых заметок. Пока неизвестно, как долго Windows-версия будет доступна бесплатно без ограничений по синхронизации.

Day One, a popular journal app, has made its way to the Microsoft Store. The app was already available on macOS, iOS, Android, and the web, but it now has a Windows 11 app with features such as offline support.
Day One has a long feature list that makes it easy to record your life, such as text editing, saving photos, and saving videos. The app also supports auto tagging to make it easier to recall memories.
If you opt for the premium plan, which costs $2.92 per month (billed annually), you’ll fully unlock the app.
Day One announced the Windows app earlier this week:
«For over a decade, Day One has been more than just a journaling app—it has been a companion for millions, capturing life’s moments, preserving personal histories, and helping people build a writing habit that lasts. With apps for Mac, iOS, Android, and the web, Day One has been the most trusted space for private, meaningful journaling.
Today, we’re taking the next big step: Day One for Windows is here.»
Day One’s premium plan includes unlimited syncing, cloud backup, photos, videos, audio recordings, and voice-to-text transcription.
All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.
Paid subscribers can also use unlimited journals, which help you keep different parts of your life separate.
The Windows version of Day One supports local storage, end-to-end encryption, and cross-device sync. By the looks of things, it is a natural extension of the Day One platform with a robust feature set.
To celebrate the launch of the app, Day One will not count Windows devices against your device limit.
Day One also teased upcoming AI features for its journal app. The app maker did not share many details apart from saying the tools «will help you reflect more deeply with context-aware prompts, summarize past entries, and more.»
In my experience, the hardest part about journaling is committing to do it. If you can use templates and AI to get a post started, it may encourage you to sit down and reflect on your day or an event.
