FAQs

Why doesn't the weather/sunrise/sunset information show up?

If you selected the "Weather" or "Sunrise/Sunset" option in the app settings under "Feeds & events", but no weather/sunrise/sunset information shows up in the diary entries, the reason for this most likely is that the entry does not contain a "location". Because Diarium needs to know for what location the weather/sunrise/sunset should be received, you need to add a location first. Also, weather information is not available for future dates, only for the current and past days. If weather information is still not displaying, it may be due to either a temporary unavailability from the weather provider (Apple Weather) or the absence of weather data for the specified date and location combination.

Why does Diarium show my photos in the entry page?

In order to help you remembering what happened on a day, Diarium automatically shows photos that you took on that day. Those pictures are imported from the "Camera Roll" or "Photos" folder on your device. Those imported photos show a small "photos" icon on the bottom right and are not permanently added to your diary (however you can permanently add them by right-clicking and selecting "Attach to entry"). You can turn off that feature completely by disabling the "Camera Roll" integration in the app settings under "Feeds & events".

Why does Diarium show my calendar events in the entry page?

When first for the first time, Diarium will ask you for permission to access the system calendar. If granted, Diarium shows the calendar appointments in the corresponding entries. Depending on the device you are using Diarium on, you can also add additional calendar accounts to the system calendar either in the calendar app itself or in the operating system settings. Diarium uses the same colors that the system calendar is using for displaying the appointments and you might be able to change them in the calendar app. Similar to the camera roll integration, you can also disable the calendar integration in the app settings under the "Feeds & events" section.

How to create multiple entries per day?

Windows & macOS

Right-click on a day in the calendar view

"+" button in der top menu

Android & iOS

"Press & hold" a day in the calendar view

"+" button (iOS: top menu, Android: bottom right in the timeline view)

Does Diarium post content to Facebook/Strava/...?

No. When you connect your social media (Facebook, Strava, ...) in the app settings, Diarium does not post any content to those services. Diarium uses your exising data (e.g. your Instagram posts) to show it in the app, as part of the diary entry. If you want to share contents of your journal, you can use the share button when viewing an entry.

Where is the data stored?

By default, Diarium stores your journal offline and on your device only. If you switch your device or need to reinstall the app, make sure to create a backup in the app settings so your data doesn't get lost - those backups can be imported in the app settings on your new installation. If you choose to use the Cloud sync in order to work on the same journal on multiple devices or to have an automatic backup, the journal is additionally stored online, in your personal cloud storage.
