Day One 2.0 - Ground-up rewrite of the best journal for Mac and iPhone

Day One 2.0 is an easy way to keep a journal, and a powerful way to organize thoughts, ideas, moments, quotes, links, notes, and anything else with text and photos.

Awesome release! I am loving multiple journals and adding more than one photo has been something I've wanted since day one (haha).

Update looks fantastic! Congratulations. I used 1.0 avidly for a year, but fell out of the habit.
Paul Mayne
@chrisyvr Thanks Christopher! Does reviewing the entries you made during that year inspire you to pick it back up?

@paulmayne @chrisyvr I also have times where I get out of habit (something Im working on) but yes, reviewing entires does help me pick it back up! Maybe a type of reminder could be an entry to inspire me to open it more.

Long time user of classic here but not so keen to upgrade due to the negative reviews in App Store relating to stability. Has anyone had any issues in here? I'm keen to try it!

@paulmayne There seems to be a lot of concern, reading the AppStore reviews, with the decision to use your own backend to sync rather than iCloud. People are worried about safety, and they should, being that a journal is deeply, profoundly personal. How do you plan on addressing that?

I've used Day One during the last year and now I have a strong habit to write my thoughts every day. It seems that the second version became even more cool

Love it.

Daily and passionate user of Day One. Getting into the habit of writing down thoughts and adventures is one I recommend to everyone, and Day One is the journal app to do it in. I'm thrilled you guys released version 2 (it's about time!!). The new design follows the beautiful trend set by its predecesor. Clean and pleasurable to use. Great work! Would love to get the Mac version as well, but it's a bit pricey for me at the moment. Still have version 1 installed on my Mac which works beautifully for now. Great work guys!!

More excited reading about where the apps is going than where it is right now. iOS update UI is cluttered and lacking focus. Encrypted sync sounds promising, dropping iCloud less so but might turn out to be a good move.

Why have you decided to keep Day One to just Apple devices? Love the simplicity of Apple's design, don't have enough employees? I would love to see this on Windows!

To be honest I don't see much difference between this and the original app. Very disappointing.
