Daykeep is my journalling app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. This page is a
running, dated log of how it is coming along — new features, things I am
fixing, and what I have learned building it — newest first.
The same honest note I keep on my other app applies here: I am a solo
developer. I build and maintain Daykeep on my own, in my own time. I read
everything that comes in and I genuinely want it to work well for you, but
replies and fixes arrive at the pace one person can realistically manage.
I would rather say that plainly than over-promise.
Coming soon
Update
Daykeep is nearly here
Daykeep is in final testing and heading to the App Store. It is a calm
place to keep your days: write an entry, drop in the photos that belong
with it, and keep as many journals as you like. It runs on iPhone, iPad
and Mac as a single purchase, and syncs privately through your own iCloud
— there is no Daykeep account and no server of mine that ever sees your
writing.
The app is free to use. An optional one-off Daykeep Plus
unlock adds watermark-free printing, unlimited journals, share cards
without the Daykeep mark, and the full tools for restoring backups. No
subscription.
Coming soon
Feature
Journal here, print there — Daykeep meets Mosaic Collage Maker
The feature I am most pleased with connects Daykeep to my other app,
Mosaic Collage Maker. You can export a whole
journal — photos, captions and the writing between them — as one file, open
it in Collage on your Mac or PC, and watch it pour into an editable,
print-ready photobook.
You pick a style, tidy anything you like, add a cover, and export a
print-ready PDF to order from any printer. The export from Daykeep is free;
Collage is the part that does the design. It turns a year of journalling
into a book you can hold.
Coming soon
Learning
Why another journal app?
I wanted a journal that treated my photos as part of the story rather
than an afterthought, kept my writing genuinely private, and let me get
my words back out again — as a file, or as a printed book — whenever I
wanted. I could not find one that did all three without a subscription, so
I built it.
The principles are simple: your journal is yours, it lives in your own
iCloud, and Daykeep never holds it hostage. Restoring your own backup is
always free. More notes will follow here as launch approaches.
