Automattic-owned Day One has announced a Windows version of its journaling app, available now on the Microsoft Store. The company says it offers “the same trusted, distraction-free experience” as it does on other platforms. It’s also free to use, and won’t count against the free plan’s one-device syncing limit, for now.
One of the more popular journaling apps, Day One has only been available as a web app and on iOS, macOS, and Android, so far. As for how long the new Windows version doesn’t count against your syncing device limit, the Microsoft Store listing doesn’t specify for how long, beyond its “limited launch period.” We’ve asked Automattic if it can be more specific and will update if it shares that info.
From the video above, the Windows Day One app will be familiar, especially if you’ve used the Mac or web version. Like on other platforms, you get unlimited text entries to which you can add multimedia and search tags. Entries are stored locally and use end-to-end encryption for cloud backups. The app also offers “daily prompts and inspiration” to help get you going.
Day One requires a subscription to its Premium plan for things like keeping multiple journals, adding videos or voice recordings to entries, or using the app’s built-in voice dictation. You can see the full list on its website. Day One’s announcement says it’s planning future AI features such as “context-aware” journaling prompts and AI-summaries of your past journal entries.
