Using Day One to log your thoughts, dreams, pictures of your meals, vacations, and more What is the point of journaling? For one, it’s fun. But it’s also useful because it provides a way for you to record your day to day life, adventures, and major events so that you can look back on them to relive memories. Using Day One to record your day is really easy. Especially if you’re in the Apple ecosystem and own an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and a Mac. If you own more than one of those devices, you can pay for the premium version of Day One and sync across all your devices. I especially like writing (typing) my entries on my MacBook because it’s easier and quicker for me to type out my adventures on a regular keyboard than it is to tap tap tap them out on my iPhone’s virtual keyboard. Can I get a heck yeah from all the mechanical keyboard fans out there? Since I have an Apple Watch, I can initiate a new entry right from my watch and either tippity tap it on the mini keyboard or record my entry using my voice. With my Phone, I can include images because a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I can even view a timeline based on images that I’ve used in my entries. Inside the Day One app, I can see all the places that I have visited when I made entries. Shortcuts (iOS and macOS) Another very cool thing is that you can use shortcuts to automatically create entries for movies, TV shows, the front page of a major newspaper, and more. You can even use IFTTT to create entries based on certain triggers. I use IFTTT to automatically create an entry on Day One when I post something on my Instagram or Facebook channel. That’s what makes Day One so special—it’s so feature-rich.
