Morning walk by the river

Left the phone in my pocket for once. The fog sat on the water until almost nine and the only people out were the rowers. I walked the whole length of the park and back without once checking the time.

Summary Premium

An unhurried foggy walk without your phone, and a wish to keep mornings slow and protected.

Or just drop the zip.

On a Mac or in your browser, drag the Day One export onto the import window. Big exports are fine: up to 10 GB, and the upload picks up where it left off if your connection drops.

See it first. Journals, entry counts and dates are listed before anything comes in.
Undo for 7 days. One tap removes everything that import added.

What carries over

Everything you wrote, and everything around it.

Your entries arrive looking the way you left them, on the day you wrote them.

Every entry

With its original date, time and time zone.
Your formatting

Headings, lists, checklists, quotes, tables, bold and links.
Photos, video, audio, PDFs

Placed exactly where they sat in the entry.
Tags

Matched to tags you already have, or created for you.
Stars and pins

Starred and pinned entries stay that way.
Places and weather

Where you were, and what the sky was doing.
Step counts

Your activity for the day, saved with the entry.
Audio transcripts

If Day One had a transcript, it comes too.

Anything we don't have a place for yet is kept safely with its entry, so nothing is lost.

What's different

Say it out loud. Ask it anything.

Voice, next to text. Tap the mic and your words appear as you talk. Free on every plan.
Cleaner transcripts. Premium fixes words and trims the umms. Your original stays.
Ask your journal. "When did I last see Priya?" Answers link to the entries. Premium
Reflections. Your week, read back to you. Premium
On your terms. Turn AI off, or leave any journal out of it.

Questions

Before you switch.

The things people usually ask first.

Will this change anything in Day One?

No. We only read the export file. Your Day One journals stay exactly as they are.

Can I import more than once?

Yes. Entries you've already brought across are skipped, so running the same export again is safe.

What if I change my mind?

Tap Undo import on the summary. It removes everything that import added, any time in the next 7 days.

I'm on the Free plan. Do I lose photos?

No. Every entry and every photo comes across. The one-photo limit only applies to photos you add later.

What about shared journals?

They arrive as private journals. You can invite people again whenever you're ready.

How big can my export be?

Up to 10 GB. The upload resumes if your connection drops, and you can keep using the app while it runs.

Does AI read my entries during the import?

No AI runs during import. On Premium, AI search is set up quietly afterwards, and you can leave any journal out.

What if an entry can't be read?

It's skipped and listed in the summary with its date and first line. Everything else still comes across.

Bring your days. Keep writing.
