I don't see anything on it here, but I really hope they've opened up an API a little bit. I currently use a couple of hack-y solutions to log events from the tools and services I use into Day One (the result, for example, is that I have a log of the day's added tasks, completed tasks, posted photos, social media posts, sleep, steps, workouts, etc.) But the hack-y solution isn't nice to maintain... All I want is a Day One - Zapier/IFTTT connection. ;D Still, looks pretty. Good work, Day One makers.
Yes! Some of this is actually mentioned in the FAQ: planning on supporting IFTTT! :)
Maker
We've been working on our IFTTT Channel the past couple weeks. Looking to launch it soon.
Stoked about that.
Can't wait!
Really dig Day One, although it's kind of a bummer seeing iCloud/Dropbox sync options pulled out. I generally trust Day One, but having my journal entries laying on a small company's servers is pretty sketch. That said, looking forward to whenever they ship private-key encryption this year — — since that'll go a long, long way to easing these concerns.
Hm -- what has the Dropbox backup been replaced by? Can you still export to PDF and get that out of the app?
No idea for sure, but Day One probably uses AWS or something similar. I doubt their method for storing it is sketch.
Maker
Yes, we have improved PDF Export, plain text / Markdown export and are working on JSON and HTML export flavors.
They do use AWS, but I'm more worried about their employees getting popped, or making a mistake, or who knows. My complaints are less about the technology and more about the wisdom of sharing your private thoughts with *any* third party.
I totally agree. Remember what happened with Wink ().
I still haven't seen a legitimate response/answer regarding pulling iCloud and Dropbox sync. This is quite worrisome. So here are some of the responses from Day One - "iCloud is terrible to support" "In our experience, iCloud = Data loss", "iCloud has always been terrible"
When will this actually be available? Love Day one but can't seem to find this new version on the app store.
Thursday! Source: Day One (now Day One Classic) update log.

Here are the direct links to the Apps: iOS App Store Link: Mac App Store Link:
Looks great! But why is it a separate version? Can I upgrade it from my current version 1 (for free)?
Development isn't free (nor cheap).
I wish! I got it less than a month ago, unknowingly...
as a developer, I know. Just wondering if it is an usual update
Maker
We launched version 1.0 over 4 years ago for .99, then made over 40 major updates to that app. Since the App Store does not support "Upgrades" we were forced to create a new app to allow users to re-purchase. The exposure we receive on the App Stores allows us to price the app as low as it currently is. I however feel that the app is worth far more than the prices we are selling it at. If you do not want to pay for the update you can continue to use Day One Classic. We are an 11 person team and running the company as a profitable business to support this product for as long as possible. It's a lifetime-use app and I feel that we can continue to add value for decades to come.
Been a DayOne user since ...day one (on the Mac) and I couldn't be happier about this! Really looking forward to the next updates too, as their roadmap looks very exciting:
Why update? I'm not sure I see the need/value to update and spend $19.99 for the Mac App and another $4.99 for the iOS app. What's wrong with the current "Classic" version?
That's for customers to decide, and besides sync or compatibility with future versions of OS X / iOS, nothing stops you from using the current version. I'm excited to see upcoming stuff mentioned in the roadmap like “Audio Recording” and the return of Publish too!
I snagged Day One when it was a free app (July 2014). 660 entires later, I would gladly pay the Day One team back!!!
Maker
Thank you Tom. Love to hear stories like this.
Just bought Day One 2 for iOS & OS X :)
Finally it's possible to add more pics. I think this must be one of the most requested features since its launch.
Maker
Oh it was, followed by Android app. Hopefully this shows we DO follow through on our roadmap.
Sorry not jumping on the bandwagon. The list of new features looks great. However, I love the "classic" design. It's too bad they didn't just extend all these features into the 2.0 - panels, multiple images per post, etc. Also, don't like the tighter design approach to everything especially in the calendar. Your classic design had more negative space. Padding FTW! Your new blue is also a bit annoying. The old blue was much more pleasant. Sorry for the negative critique but when something is so good like the original day one I am absolutely against changing a design so dramatically. You could have incrementally added all of these features. I think this was driven more by revenue need as it is a one time purchase. I am hoping you can start to update the UI but I doubt you will. Just more space between stuff especially the icons and the calendar. I hope you post classic for people to still download. Especially those of us who paid for it. I downloaded off the app store and I am unsure what happens when I move computers if I don't reinstall from time machine.
I switched to Momento because of lack of integrations. But still it looks great :)
I also use Momento. I love the integrations and I prefer the design and aesthetic. I really wish there was a Mac app though!
