“Day One creates something so rare it feels almost sacred: A completely private digital space.” – New York Times
“Day One makes keeping a journal delightfully easy.” – Wired
“It’s perfect! Does what it claims. I was able to transfer my entries from another (expensive) journal so I wouldn’t lose them.
