New Diarium Users

borowatz

Hi from Berlin.
I not new to journaling, but not really keeping up a standard journal. I started it more as a (bi)monthly overview of my wellbeing some 5 years ago.
I switched over from OneNote (had to copy/paste all my entries). 😵‍💫

But I love both Windows and Android apps, so I might even make it a more regular thing.

Hello Timo! I'm a new user too. I was searching for apps to type my thoughts in, tried a bunch of them on my mobile phone, some were better than others. But then I stumbled upon yours. I gave it a try and fell in love with it instantly. I realized it was exactly what I was looking for. Nothing needless, and all features I liked in other apps.

My name is Oksana, I'm 40 y.o. I live in Ukraine in a country house. I used to write diaries when I was a student, but then lost interest in it. Lately, I've been thinking things that I could have recorded for future reference. Maybe to vent, or to memorize what's happening in my life and re-read later to see what and how changed since then, if I was wrong about this or that. And just laugh at how stupid and cringy I was. It's also a good way to practice in structuring thoughts, expressing myself, looking at myself from aside, making my brain work.

Thank you, keep up your great work! <3

I joined mid-March to do a diary for our cross-country trip in our RV with my wife and little mini Pincscher. It's a great app, I just need to keep up with it! I like that it integrates the weather, location and allows you to add images. Gotta see if I can get the connection to Facebook going to keep my friends up-to-date.

Hello 👋

My name is Relcy, currently living in the Philippines. I am very new today in Diarum. I am journaling on and off since I was very young. Journaling helps express my emotions through the years, but I just recently discovered journaling also helps me channel my positive thoughts and goals in my life.

Before I journal mostly in conventional way (pen and paper) but I almost lost of track of my notebooks so I am trying to find a good journal app. I keep switching through the years, because a lot of journals apps is either subscription based or have lots of ads or have hectic UI design. I found Diarium today. It's simple and easy to use. Hope this app is best yet

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all feeling well. My name is Oscar and I recently found this fantastic application to keep track of my day to day. I have been keeping a record of my thoughts and experiences as the years go by for some time now. It is interesting to see how one's own perspective of the world is changing and one's own conscience is being shaped by the experiences one is living.
So far I have been using notebooks and some simple applications that allow to record the animic states. I hope with all the flexibilities that this app offers I can combine all this in just one app. 😃

I started keeping a diary during the first Covid lockdown. At the time I used a different app but the cloud storage was Google Drive with no option to change. I love this because it lets me store in One Drive.

I started using Diarium last year, so not quite 2023. I just wanted to share my love of this app. 😊

Hi,
meine Homebase ist Vienna und ich verwende seit ca. 3 Monaten DIARIUM-Pro - sowohl als App am Handy HUAWEI P30 wie auch auf meinem ASUS Notebook wie auch auf auf meinem SURFACE PRO9!
Ich werde DIARIUM als Reisetagebuch verwenden.

redeyeshev How did you import your Gmail emails, and will this work from outlook?

Moved from journey to darium 2 reasons. Journey subscriptions feels somewhat predatory and darium has this really nice calendar view that show photos. + no subscription. So rare these days...

I am here because I don't remember enough of my life. So I am going to make a start at journaling. I will start with selecting my best pictures for each day I took them. Originally I was going to use Goggle Photos but a journal app is more flexible. I also going to populate the journal through my group posts from Facebook, my eBird data, and other social media. I will sprinkle it with life highlights as well.

redeyeshev , nice to read about fellow journalers. I'm not new to Diarium, been using about three years. I'm 62. I make about 3-5 entries a day. I try to spend 15 minutes a day voice-typing my old paper journals into Diarium. Love to read my "On this day" daily. For the most part, my journal entries are historical records and not any deep conversations. I have always loved to know when things happened. I love timestamps. I've still got a 45 year old high school picture from a girl who signed and dated the back with current time, and I knew exactly where to put it in Diarium. 🙂

Hi everybody, I hope to find you well!
I'm Tiago from Porto, Portugal and I'm very happy to "meet" you ;-)

I'm not a beginner in journaling - have been doing it for a couple years in a "analog" format and now switching to "digital". There pros and cons as in everything in life and not that I don't appreciate handwriting on paper, however I wasn't being very regular at it... One of my expectations - and I have a considerable amount of screen time by day - is to be more regular in writing.

I googled a bit and found different options and even considered Evernote for this but it didn't sound right. Ended up in Diarium and so far it's suiting what I've imagined.

I'll use this for "regular journaling" (if I can call it like that! ) - taking thoughts out of my head, decluttering the mind a bit, expressing emotions, be more present and getting focus or at least reminding me of all of this.

Congratulations to the creator of Diarium - Timo, it seems a really inuitive, well designed and useful app!

All the best,
Tiago

Hello, all. I'm in Vancouver, Washington. It rains a lot here, but the trees and ferns are huge!

I've used Diarly for the past year and needed to synch between devices, but did not want to buy into a subscription model. After reading reviews of Diarium, I immediately bought the Pro version. (Thanks for not providing a one-time purchase for Pro!)

I do a lot of projects and research at home, and am constantly writing notes and saving information. I used to do this in notebooks and on scraps of paper, but realized that having a digital notebook would be more efficient, and also searchable. I've experimented with many apps (Notes, OneNote, etc), but settled on Diarly for the past year. Now I am moving to Diarium, and so far so good!

Hi All,
I'm from Sydney Australia and started using Diarium mid-trip on a holiday to Japan. I had previously been using Day One but was not happy to sign up to a subscription model--so signed up for the Diarium Mac OS and Apple iOS versions--they work seamlessly with iCloud.
Diarium is a great app and I was able to import previous Day One info with no problems.
I find it easier to use than Day One but miss the location mapping and location tracking that it has. I note others have made similar comments but it appears too difficult to include at this stage. Location co-ordinates are OK but a location name (if not a map) would be excellent.
The forum is great, but I think a simple introductory "How To" manual would be beneficial to new users.
Overall, though, an excellent app particularly as a travel journal.
Congratulation to the developer!

I'm a new user in the last several weeks. So far, I'm loving it. Still trying to figure a couple of things out. My android phone does not send me notifications and it warns me that I need to change some setting, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. When I got to notifications by App - Diarium is not even listed. 🙁

But I still like the app! Thanks for creating it Timo!

timo

FredBoekee Happy you like the app! Feel free to create a new "Support" discussion here about this problem where we can discuss the problem separately. Make sure you have the notification option enabled in the app settings. Also, Diarium only shows reminder notifications if you have not already created an entry today.

FredBoekee

timo Thanks! Will advise if I get it figured out - but don't stress over it! I'm still loving it! :-)
