Day One Alternatives: 7 Best Journal Apps You Can Use

1

Day One

Day One Journal has adopted the subscription model for its pricing and it has made many of its users angry. I can live with a subscription model for apps like Day One which I use on a daily basis, however, I do think that the subscription is a bit over priced. If you were looking for its alternatives, we have covered the best ones available in the market today. Do tell us if you going to switch or not in the comment section below. Also, tell us the alternative app you think can replace Day One.

Journey

Journey is your best bet when searching for a journal app which is as good as Day One. Not only it has an app for Mac, it also supports Windows and Android. You can truly go cross-platform with this app. The app is also fairly affordable when compared to the Day One app. Okay, let’s get into the feature set of the Journey app which is as good as Day One’s if not more. You can create multiple journals inside the app and attach photos (up to 4) inside each entry. The app supports Markdown and Syntax editing, which is kind of becoming the norm these days.

Capture 365 Journal

Apart from Day One, Capture 365 is one of the few journal apps which supports both macOS and iOS. This means you can sync your journal between your devices and journal on the go, even if you are not carrying your Mac. It also has an app for the Apple Watch, but I don’t think that will be of much use. The best part is that all your notes saved on the cloud are end to end encrypted. You can even lock the iOS app with Touch ID, which I think is a nice feature.

Reminisce Journal

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to Day One, Reminisce Journal can be for you. This is a very simple yet powerful journaling app which supports both macOS and iOS platform. When you launch the Mac App, you will see that it has a very intuitive interface. You land on the “New” tab where you can start writing your entry. The New tab is just like a blank sheet of paper. You can attach photos and videos to your entries. You can access all your entries from the “List” tab, which houses all your entries in chronological order.

Evernote

Before you strike Evernote off your list because it’s more of a note taking app, take a pause and read the explanation. Evernote can replace the best of journaling apps because of its adaptability. Of course, it is a note taking app first, but, Evernote can even be used for writing your first novel or researching for your paper, such is its versatility. In the same way, you can use Evernote as a journal app. The only you thing you need to do is to create an independent folder (notebook) for journals. The ability to nest notebooks inside other notebooks allows you to have different folders for different months or years.

Grid Diary

If you are looking for an app which syncs your journal between your Mac and iPhone, the above options are the best ones out there. However, if you can do with an app which is either available for iPhone or for Mac, there are a couple more options you can check out and Grid Diary is one of them. I really loved the premise of the app where you get grids with specific questions (For example: What I am grateful for today?), which makes it easier for you to record the day. You can even create your own custom templates with questions if you don’t like the ones which already come with the app.

Diaro

Another good journal app for iOS that can work as a great alternative to Day One Journal is Diaro. The best part about this app is that it also has a web companion app which essentially allows you to record your journals from your Mac too. Other than that, it has all the usual features including photo attachment, automatic date and location tagging and so on. You can also use the inbuilt app lock to protect your entries. I really love its theming capabilities which allow me to refresh the look of the app whenever I want too. The app is free to download and use with in-app purchases to unlock some additional features.
