Reviews: What People Think About Diarly: Diary, Private Journal
Mariezeee
Rating: 5/5
I pretty much never write reviews. But I’ve been low-key searching for the perfect app for my journaling over the years. And I’ve finally found the one! I love how you can really simplify the look of the screen to help you stay focused on your writing, yet lots of useful little features are just a click or two away. I love how there’s a little preview for each entry, and the themes, and the search — I just really like all of the features and how they’re neatly tucked away. And I really appreciate the added protection of the password. *So* worth the one-time in-app purchase.
There are enough options that I can feel like I’m customizing the app to my liking, but not too many options such that I feel overwhelmed and distracted by features rather than what the app is intended for - writing.
One idea that would make this *perfect* for me, would be if the devs added the option to choose your cursor color as well as the theme. I love the pink cursor that is built into the darkest theme, but I prefer the second-darkest theme. If I could have the best of both worlds, this would be completely perfect for me. (It’s already pretty close to perfect in my opinion!)

This is the cleanest nicest diary app I have seen. I love that you use markdown but format it in a great looking way even while writing. And as others have said, the simplicity of the app realy makes it perfect for journaling. The thing I was looking for forever was the ability to specify a template for new entries, so thanks so much for that!
There are just a couple missing things that are keeping me from switching over: 1) I love this app, but I can’t bring myself to commit to it if it doesn’t have the ability to export to a format that other apps use. I am worried that I’ll want to switch in a month or two and don’t want to go through manually transfering every day’s journal. 2) I write entries right before I go to bed, which is sometimes after midnight. Right now, I don’t see a way to change the date on an existing entry, I only see a way to create a brand new entry. This isn’t a huge deal, but it would just be a nice little convinience to be able to click the date and select a new one.

UPDATE: The more I use this program the better I like it! I’m not an AI fan so I’m not subscribing to that feature, but the rest of it is so easy to learn and to use! I would get discouraged with other journalling programs after a few days, but I was able to really USE this one after poking around a bit. Did give up on the “Master To-Do” list note, but that’s just part of learning. TRY IT! Free 1 week trial is all you’ll need to get going.
Diarly looked a bit daunting right at first, but a little playing around with it, experimenting, and searching on the help articles - after 3 days I’m definitely subscribing to this! It’s simple yet flexible, adaptable to however you want to use it. I needed to keep track of when I’ve done what, and tags make that easy. I wanted a place to make notes on books I’m reading, and set up a Book Notes journal with my own template to record information easily. I set up a master to-do list, and can refer to that when I need to know what’s important but not urgent, and have a daily to-do list that carries over things I didn’t get done (the master list keeps that from being overwhelming).
The program has journaling prompts if you want them, or you can put in your own. Pictures, screenshots - whatever is useful for you!
I’ve tried several journaling programs, and none of them have inspired me, but this is so flexible I can record what I need to, and write more if I want to. LOVE THIS!
