@bitterseeds I honestly just started using DayOne for fun years ago. First post was about the day my kid learned to ride a bike (he’s 16 now). When I started using a MacBook for work I was able to use the Mac standalone app for entries, which was pretty cool - another app that is only for Mac unfortunately. DO is great for its purpose and very slick. I got grandfathered in on a particular “Plus” plan but they charge an annual subscription for certain features, like attaching videos to posts, and that’s definitely a reason to use Obsidian instead.
#Daylio is another similar app I’ve had a look at recently.
For the last maybe 10 years I’ve been using a journaling app called #DayOne as a diary. As times goes on it's really interesting to see what happened "on this day 8 years ago”. Learned recently of a new app called #Daylio and have checked it out. I don't think it'll replace DayOne for me, but Daylio is mostly free and has some improvements over DO so I thought y'all might like to know about it. It's better than DO as it's possible to "microjournal" with it. You can just choose your mood from 5 options, and then there are sections for things like health, social, chores etc. So in 10 sec you could click on Good, and then Cooking, Gym, Movies and tv, and that's it. You can also add full notes like a real diary if you want, along with photos, and it also has a goal tracker and comprehensive stats per day. I really like it. For instance, today I just chose good, coffee, dishes.
