Introduction:

Life Journal provides a mechanism for users to sync their journal bidirectionally with Day One Classic (v1.x) and also to import their Day One v2 data into Life Journal.

Important Note:

Day One is well designed and extremely focused to encourage you to write more through quick Menu Bar entry, a Reminder system and inspirational messages. Support for Dropbox syncing allows easy backup and syncing with the Day One iPhone application.

  • If you are syncing with Day One Classic, please be sure to make a full backup of your Day One Classic folder on Dropbox (found at DropboxAppsDay OneJournal.dayone) before you start sync.
  • Read these instructions fully before proceeding.
Setting up Sync with Day One Classic (v1.x):

Please follow these steps to sync your Day One Classic data with Life Journal:

  1. Go into the Day One app and set up Sync with Dropbox
  2. Let all of your data sync to Dropbox
  3. Make sure Dropbox is installed and running on your PC. If you have issues with Life Journal not detecting Dropbox or Day One in the settings screen, please try this solution.
  4. Once all of your data is synced to Dropbox, please take a backup of your Day One folder (found at DropboxAppsDay OneJournal.dayone) before proceeding.
  5. Now start Life Journal
  6. Go into Settings.
  7. You should notice the second switch on the Journal Settings tab saying 'Day One Classic detected on Dropbox. Sync data with Day One Classic?'. Turn that switch to ON.
  8. Save your settings.
  9. The app will now go through and sync all of you entries with Day One Classic on Dropbox. Note that this can take a few moments depending on the number of entries you have.
  10. Going forward, all of your entries will automatically be synced.

UPDATE: Please read this post regarding Day One Classic Sync.

Importing data from Day One v2:

To import your data from Day One v2, please follow these steps:

  1. Please follow the steps outlined on the Day One website to export the data that you want to import into Life Journal. Please be sure to select the format as JSON. This should extract all your data into a ZIP file.
  2. Now unzip the exported files - take the file exported in Step 1 and unzip it to a temporary folder on your PC. (Say C:TempDayOneData). The temporary folder should contain the following items:
  • A single file: Journal.json (or something similar - this file contains all of your journal data).
  • A single folder: photos (this photo will contain all of your exported images)
  • See example of an exported extract below:

  • Start Life Journal and click on the Data Import button on the main menu. This will provide you with the option to import Day One v2 data.
  • In the Day One v2 Data Import screen, select the .JSON file from the temporary folder by clicking on the button marked JSON. (Note: Please do not select the ZIP file)
  • You can optionally provide a Journal Name (starting v1.5.0.0 of Life Journal) for the journal you are importing from Day One v2 (useful in the case of multiple journals). Life Journal will automatically create a tag (shown to the right of the Journal Name field) and assign that tag to every entry imported.
  • Then click on the Start Import button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Life Journal will process the .JSON file and pull in all of your Day One v2 entries into Life Journal.
  • A log will be visible on screen as the processing progresses. You may want to save this log by copying it into a text file - in case there are any issues.
  • Once the import is complete, close this screen.
  • Restart Life Journal. This will then finalize all of your entries and display them in Life Journal.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Can Life Journal write data back to Day One v2?

A: Unfortunately, this is not possible. Day One v2 uses a local database (on iOS/Mac OSX) to store the entries which Life Journal cannot access (from a PC). Day One v2 also stores its data in the cloud using a proprietary sync mechanism. Life Journal cannot write to the cloud based repository or use their sync mechanism either.

2. What if I run into any issues?

A: A log will be visible on screen as the import processing progresses. You may want to save this log by copying it into a text file - in case there are any issues. If there are issues with the import, please contact us and send us the import log along with a screen shot (use Alt+PrtSc to capture your screen and paste into an email) of the Import screen.

3. What happens to the multiple images I have in an entry in Day One v2?

A: We migrate all of the images to Life Journal - so you won't lose them. However to maintain Day One Classic compatibility, we only display a single image in Life Journal. Microsoft office 365 2019 16 20.

'This superb journaling app remainspleasant to behold, easy to use, and a tough act for any rival to follow.'

-Macworld

Day One is an award-winning journaling and note-taking app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This app allows you to easily add date-wise entries along with attachments like images or any other file format. Just like a physical journal, you can write about what you plan to do later in the day, things that bother you, or jot down some notes related to your work.

Theuser interface is simple and hassle-free. In fact, it is one of the tidiestjournaling apps I have ever used. One of the reasons to download this app todayis, they have a free version which provides almost 70 percent of the featuresof the premium version. So, feel free to install it on your iPhone, iPad orMac. You have nothing to lose.

Paul Mayne is the designer and founder of an organization called Bloom. The Day One app was developed by the hard-working and talented team of this company. In an interview with LifeHacker, Paul described how and why he decided to work on this idea.

Paulhimself had struggled to keep a personal journal and wished there was asoftware that would make his life several times easier. So, he began working ona basic version of this app for Mac computers. And since, he and his team ofsoftware developers have made plenty of enhancements to make it one of the bestin the category.

'Day One makes keeping a journaldelightfully easy.'

Here I have listed 3 features ofDay One that make it extraordinary. 1) Reminders and Notifications

Remindershelp you be consistent with your journaling habit. Reminders are for you if youconstantly find yourself forgetting or making excuses to write. On setting up areminder, its date and time, the Day One app will send you a notification toyour iOS/ macOS device.

Here is how you can set areminder in iOS. You can customize it however you want.

Youcan add a message that will display when the reminder appears on your screen.It also allows you to set the time and frequency at which you want thenotifications. When you receive the notification, all you have to do is tap onit and add the entry for that particular time of the day.

To create Reminders, go to Day One > Settings > Notifications & Reminders > Add Reminder.

Here is how you can set a reminder in macOS. To set remindersin macOS, the same procedure applies as that of iOS.

Click Day One > Preferences (in the file menu) > Reminders. Videocompressor 2017 1 1. Click to enable reminders and then click the + icon to create a new reminder.

2) Convert your journal to a book

Best music production software macbook. DayOne Apps book printing is a perennial favorite among writers and publishers.This feature allows you to convert your journal into a book in a matter ofseconds.

Here is an example of how the bookwill look like.

Youcan preview the entire book to see if the content, book cover and page layoutis to your liking. Once everything is perfect, you will have to add it to thecart and checkout.

Thisfeature is available in iOS and macOS devices. But, as of now, it is notavailable for Day One Android. They are working hard on bringing it to Androiddevices as well.

3) Powerful rich text formattingwith Markdown

Day One App supports Rich Text Format. For content writer not well versed with HTML and other languages, writing code can be a very difficult and time-consuming process. To solve this problem, John Gruber of Daring Fireball has created a free tool called Markdown.

Markdownis a markup language that converts a plain text to HTML. All you have to do islearn a few tags used in this and you are ready to create web pages without anyknowledge of programming languages.

DayOne App has Markdown already integrated into it. This app allows you to writeplain text which will get processed into the desired format.

This is how the document lookslike when written in Rich Text Format. After processing, it gets converted to a standard web page.The following is a virtual compiler window to help you design your page better. What I like

Thereare plenty of things I love about this app. I have installed it on my iPad,iPhone, and my Mac computer. The app has a lock screen, so in my absence, Idon't have to worry about secrecy or someone peeking into my journals.Moreover, the user interface is amazingly designed. All the entries I have madeuntil now are available to me in a single click.

What I don't like

Thisapp has some sublime features but there are a couple of key elements missing.It would have been remarkable to have these features in this app.

Onedrawback of the free version is that you can only add one image per entry.However, the paid version allows you to do so.

Anoption to maximize and minimize the screen is another thing the designers ofthis app have not considered. I can't hide the sidebar when I want to focussolely on writing. I hope the makers of the Day One App fix these trivial issues.

My recommendation

'If you're looking for a fantasticjournaling app or a great app for logging and recording various events andmilestones of your life, then by far and away the best pick is Day One.'

-The Sweet Setup

Idefinitely recommend using Day One for your journaling and note-taking needs.They also have a free version. So, you can try it out for a few days and see ifit suits your requirements.

For me, features like book printing and markdown seem surplus right now. But, who knows, I might decide to print out the whole thing in a book format to pass the information on to my future generations. It's a small investment that will deliver tremendous benefits.

Pricing

TheDay One App has both, a free and premium version. If you are really seriousabout journaling, then there is a free 7 day trial for the premium version. Theprice is $2.92 per month. You're paying for quality. If you choose to go withthe premium version then you will be billed annually.
