Online diary

Your online diary,
private by design

Chances are you have a notebook you started, sitting in a drawer somewhere. Three weeks of entries and then, nothing.

It wasn't a lack of will. You just didn't have it with you the day something happened.

Almost every diary gets abandoned the same way

Not for lack of things to tell.

The notebook stays at home the day something happens.
When you want to reread what you were thinking in March, you can't find it.
And one night you don't write, then another, and no one reminds you.

It happens to almost everyone.

An online diary doesn't give you more discipline.
It takes away the excuses.

What changes when your diary is online

It's always on you. You write from your phone in the waiting room and carry on from your computer at night. It's the same diary.

You find things. Type a word and every time you wrote it shows up. What you were thinking a year ago is still there, on its date.

idazery reminds you. If you want, you get an email at the time you choose. If you haven't written anything that day yet, you reply and whatever you write goes into your diary.

It doesn't get lost. It's saved as you write. And you export it whenever you want: it's yours.

This is what writing in idazery looks like

A clean daily timeline: write your entry, see your day, and scroll back through everything you've written.

Is it safe to keep a diary online?

It's the first question worth asking. So here is how idazery is built.

The approach comes from online banking, where security isn't up for debate: either it's there, or you don't go live.

idazery is built with that same mindset:

idazery stores what you write. Only you can read it.

Writing is the beginning

Teresa Amabile's research on small wins shows something simple: when you write down your progress, you see that you're making progress.

Something similar happens with a diary. It helps you let off steam, but if you reread it, it teaches you things.

One day you search for “tired” and eleven entries come up. Almost all on Sunday nights. There's the pattern you couldn't see.

That's what the idazery method is about: Write. Look. Decide. Do. You write what you're living, look at what repeats, decide what you want to change and put it in your week, with a date.

You don't need to use all of it from day one. Start by writing. The rest comes with the weeks.

Questions

Is an online diary better than a paper one?

Paper has something no screen has. But you always carry an online diary with you, you find any entry in seconds, and it doesn't get lost if it gets wet or stays in a drawer. If what held you back was consistency, online makes it easier.

Can I write from my phone?

Yes. It works on your phone, tablet and computer with nothing to install, and if you want you add it to your home screen like an app. And if you haven't written that day, you can do it by replying to the reminder email.

What if one day I stop using it, or idazery stops existing?

What you write is yours. You export it whenever you want as TXT, PDF, JSON or Markdown, and take it wherever you like. If your plan ends, what you wrote stays available to read, edit and export.

I already keep a diary in another app. Can I bring it?

Yes. You can import your diary from Day One, Journey or a CSV or JSON file, and each entry lands on its date.

What if it's not for me?

You try idazery free for 14 days, with the plan you choose and no card, so you find out before paying anything. And what you wrote is yours: you export it whenever you want.

How do I make an online diary?

You create your account, try idazery free for 14 days and start writing. There is nothing to install: it works in the browser of your phone or your computer. Write one line today and tomorrow it will still be there, on its date.

Can I have a private online diary that nobody else reads?

Yes. There are no profiles, no followers and no way to share, so nobody else sees what you write. Your data is never sold and your entries are never used to train any AI. idazery stores what you write. Only you can read it.

Are a digital diary, a virtual diary and an online diary the same thing?

In practice, yes: a diary you write on a screen instead of on paper and can open from anywhere. What changes is where it lives and who can read it. In idazery it lives in your account and only you can open it.

Tonight, one line.

It doesn't have to be pretty or long. What happened to you today, just as it comes out.

A year from now you'll reread it. And you'll be glad you wrote it.
