Diaro vs Journey

Diaro is a freemium diary, journal, notes, and mood-tracking app for recording activities, experiences, thoughts, and ideas. Entries can be searched by keyword and filtered by date, tags, folder, or location. The app supports media attachments, a privacy lock, and Android, iOS, and web access. Diaro Online imports backup files, Evernote data, and DayOne data, and exports entries to PDF, DOCX, or TXT; filtered exports can include only matching entries. Dropbox synchronization links the mobile app with the browser version and is available to PRO users. The Free plan costs nothing for basic diary and journal use. Google Play lists ads and in-app purchases. The homepage says Diaro is available in 30+ languages, and the FAQ says there is no daily entry limit. On iOS, a security code can be required at launch. The privacy policy says mobile private content stays on the device, while website content is stored in Dropbox.

Journey is a journaling app for recording entries with photos, videos, audio, GIFs, and music. It supports offline access, search and filters, and end-to-end encryption for journal data. Privacy options include a passcode and device biometrics. You can collaborate in shared journals or share selected entries through links that open in a browser. Prompts, templates, and more than 60 guided coach programs cover reflection, self-improvement, healthy living, and planning; Odyssey AI can answer questions about life patterns, moods, and progress toward goals. Journey connects with Google Places, Apple Maps, Apple Health, Zapier, email, and WhatsApp. Free use is available indefinitely. Annual membership is $4.17 per month, billed annually, and includes 10GB of cloud storage, 5,000 entries, and up to 20 media files per entry. Membership works across Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, web, Chrome OS, and Linux. After cancellation, access lasts until the next payment is due; cancelled subscriptions are not refunded.
