As simple as keeping a diary.

Only on your phone

Your entries are never sent to any server. No one reads, stores or shares them.

Locked with your phone's lock

The app opens with your phone's screen lock, fingerprint or face unlock. No extra password to remember.

Features

Like your notebook, in your pocket.

App lock

Your diary is locked.
You hold the key.

DiaryOnce doesn't ask for a separate password. You open your diary with the same lock you use for your phone: PIN, pattern, fingerprint or face unlock.

  • No second password to forget. When you change your phone's lock, there's nothing to do in the app.
  • Asked every time you open it. If the app stays in the background for more than half a minute, it locks again.
  • Your password stays with you. Your phone does the check; your fingerprint or PIN never reaches DiaryOnce.
  • Turn it on or off with one tap. Settings > Security > App lock.

FAQ

What you might be wondering.

Is DiaryOnce available in English?

Not yet. The app is currently available in Turkish only; English and more languages are on the way. This website is already available in four languages.

Where are my entries stored?

Only on your phone. DiaryOnce has no server that holds your entries; no one reads what you write, and nothing is shared. The details are in the Privacy Policy.

What happens to my entries if I change phones?

If Android's automatic backup is on, your entries come back on your new phone. You can also export a backup file from Settings > Data and import it on the new phone.

How do I lock the app?

Turn on the app lock in Settings > Security. DiaryOnce doesn't ask for a separate password; it uses your phone's screen lock, fingerprint or face unlock. The lock can be turned on when your phone has a screen lock.

Can I edit a past day?

No, and that's on purpose: one page for every day, and what you wrote that day stays as it was. You can open and read past days in My Diaries, and delete them if you want. You can edit today's page all day long.

How do I sign in?

With your Google account. Your password never reaches DiaryOnce; Google handles the check. Only your name and email address are used for sign-in.

How do I cancel Premium?

In the Google Play app, tap your profile picture, go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions, choose DiaryOnce and cancel. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime is a one-time payment, so there's no subscription to cancel.

Will the reminders bother me?

You get a gentle reminder twice a day: once around noon and once at night. If you've already written that day, it doesn't come. You can turn them off with one tap in Settings > Reminders.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, go to My Account > Delete account. Your account and the entries on your phone are permanently deleted. The steps, and what to do if you can't open the app, are on the Delete account page.

Today's page is blank.

Start with one line. Tomorrow, you'll remember how yesterday went.
