Apple pencil support for handwritten journal

LogeshSN

Hi Tim,
It would be great if u could add apple pencil for writing the entries It will complete the hand written Journaling experience even though I like entering the entries with keyboard I still miss the feel of writing my own journal wish u could do something for that I know it's a lot of work but I don't find anyone else doing that as of now

Diarium version: na
OS + version: iPad os 14

A mi también me gustaría la característica. Sería una aplicación casi completa.

Waah ! The idea is great indeed, however as you say, no one else does it .. maybe because it's some big work to develop
Yet, like the idea ^^

LogeshSN there are plenty of apps out there that support apple pencil, one of the best is (in my opinion) goodnotes, you can write your journal entry and then export it to diarium. if not as an attached document then as a jpg. easy peasy 😃

I have read your post, but I have currently no plans to add pencil support.
It's not possible for me to write a comment like "Hello, I have read your post" to every post, sorry.

I just pulled out my iPad Pro and started writing in the text box area for my Diarium app with the Apple Pencil and it worked! I wrote and it was converted to text. I guess if one wanted to be super fancy, they could make an image file of a “written” journal page and just add that picture to the day on Diarium, but this way worked just fine for me. Love the App!

I guess this request can have the "done" tag then 🙂

I think what @AbigailNielsen is referring to is the automatic conversion of hand-written text to "digital" text (as if it was typed with the keyboard). This is an iOS feature (and the same is also possible in the Windows app), but it's nothing I built - it's just a system feature.
I think some users would prefer if the handwritten text stays handwritten and isn't converted (as this could be more personal and closer to a "real" physical journal). It's rather unlikely that this will be added - at least in the near future - but for that reason the "Done" tag would create confusion.
