What you get
Keep your memories private, easy to revisit, and part of your daily routine.
Diarly gives you a place to record your days on your Mac and return to those memories later. You can enable encryption and password protection to keep your entries private, then use iCloud syncing to continue your diary on your iPhone or iPad.
When you want to revisit something, you can browse entries by date, organize them into custom lists, or search by hashtag. You can structure your writing with Markdown headings and bullets, then preview how it looks. Adjustable fonts, themes, and text sizes let you make reading and writing more comfortable, while templates give recurring types of entries a consistent starting point.
If you want to journal more regularly, you can set daily writing objectives and track word counts for individual entries. Writing statistics over 90 days or a custom date range help you see how consistently you’ve been writing.
