Daily diaries

This is a text automatically translated from Italian. If you appreciate our work and if you like reading it in your language, consider a donation to allow us to continue doing it and improving it.

We decided to make an article dedicated to daily diaries, that is, those applications that allow you to write personal and intimate notes and notes. The daily diary can really be useful for various reasons and everyone may need it for different reasons.

For this reason it will not be an easy article: each diary is made for a different reason, each application dedicates more space to one thing rather than another. Some diaries, then, are designed to monitor diseases such as those for heachache, For monitor diabetes, for the blood pressure or for stop smoking.

Our idea is not to focus, at least in this article, on that kind of diary but we would like to talk more about daily diaries and personal ones where you can write down your activities and thoughts.

Daily diaries

Easy Diary

Open source
possibility to insert audio

One of the most complete and nicest applications you can find. This daily diary allows you to write daily notes, possibly also moving the date compared to the date of writing. In personal notes you can add a title, text and possibly even audio. You can view the calendar or view your notes chronologically. It is possible to attach photographs for each day and finally it is also possible to create photos postcards with your own sentences to save.

History of Me

Open source
possibility of inserting images

As the name may have already suggested, this application will allow you to create a real personal digital diary. We have been following this project since the beginning and it has received many updates and improvements over time. The graphics are minimal and essential and you can insert a title, text, image and text for each note mood (A mood). You can have a local backup and you cannot create more than one note per day.

Diary

Open source
possibility of image, time or event

This application is simple, but effective, just like its name. Minimal graphics, it is possible to insert only one event per date with different characteristics such as an image or a time and an event (which are automatically taken from your calendar for the nearest date, a very nice option). It is perhaps a little too simple graphically but suitable for those who are not looking for something particularly complex. You can export and import backups.

Diary Vault

Open source
an account is required for some things (although the email does not need to be validated)

This is perhaps the most recent application among all those listed. It has very colorful graphics and allows both synchronization with Google Drive or Dropbox and protection of the diary via fingerprint. However, both of these features require an account, i.e. an email and a password. The good thing is that the email never has to be validated so you can very well use one that doesn't even exist. For the rest, the application is nice and allows you to create daily notes even with images and videos.

My Brain

Open source

An application a little different from the previous ones. It is in fact very complete and aims to be a point of reference for a whole series of personal actions such as your notes, your calendar and indeed your diary. It's a really well made app and each of these features is well taken care of. For the part concerning the diary it is possible to insert a mood and a title with content for the day. However, it is not possible to add images or anything else, it is really designed only for inserting your thoughts. Very nice especially if used in combination with the other proposals.

• source code

The application also existed some time ago Wrong which is still available on F-Droid but its developer has deleted GitHub and all its work, therefore it will no longer be updated and is therefore stopped in mid-2021.

OneShot

Open source

Very simple application that will allow you to save and comment on just one photograph every day. Subsequently you will then be shown a feed for your beautiful memories and you will be able to see a summary of the last month to review all the photos taken and all the comments and smileys inserted. Very cute and perfect for those looking for a daily photo diary.

One Second Diary

Open source
daily videos of a few seconds

Other application Open source which allows you to upload small daily videos of 1 or 2 seconds. Once you have made the video you will have a small tool to cut any parts that don't suit you. It is also possible to change the recording date, add the location (automatic or manual) and insert subtitles. Once you have created enough daily videos you can also create a sort of small movie with all the clips created.

A nice idea and different from all the previous ones!
