Hi, I’m Rafael, one of the owners of Juicy Cocktail. We make a journaling app for OS X that offers better media integration than Day One for about the same price. Memories (http://shurl.at/as) has an easy to use interface while you can add images & other media to your entries in Memories. With Day One you are limited to text, but it’s sometimes really nice to add a picture of your or a place you recently visited. Furthermore we offer true encryption. Day One is password protected, but it is very easy to see the plain text of your entries when you go to the folder in the Finder where your journal is stored. Memories uses AES encryption and your entries are really unreadable for prying eyes. I can’t say it often enough how important it is to keep your very personal entries protected. I think that our export and import functionality is also superior. You can export and import entries in over five formats and choose between exporting a single entry or the whole diary.
Let me know if you have further questions about Memories or writing a journal on your Mac in general.

Do you have the app for iOS ? I’d like it for my iPad
Rafael says
Hi Brenda, sorry for my late answer, but I hope that you or others find it still useful. Memories is exclusively available for your Mac. You can store your entries in the cloud and sync them between e.g. an iMac and a MacBook.
Unfortunately we don’t talk about future release schedules and features. What I can say is, that we would also love to see a mobile version with sync for Memories in the future.
Rafael says
Hi Eric, no problem. Just write me a short email and I’ll write you back.
