A stunning refresh to help you write more, think clearer
Introducing our iPhone redesign—bringing a fresh look and smoother journaling. Capture thoughts, emotions, and life's moments effortlessly. Your daily companion for a seamless, enriching writing experience.
We’re excited to share something we’ve been working on for months: a complete redesign of Diarly for iPhone!
Why did we redesign Diarly? Journaling should feel calm, seamless, and personal—especially on the device you carry everywhere. While the previous layout worked, we saw room to improve navigation, visual clarity, and overall flow. So we went back to the drawing board and reimagined the iPhone experience from the ground up.
We asked ourselves: How can we make daily journaling more enjoyable and intuitive—without losing Diarly’s core simplicity?
This update is our answer.
What’s new:
Today Tab – Your new hub for quick insights, featuring widgets like “On This Day” for a clear, at-a-glance overview
Customizable Journal Pages – A fresh, card-based layout that makes each journal feel personal and organized
Calendar Redesign – A sleeker look with integrated photos to bring your past entries to life
Navigation Overhaul – More intuitive, smoother, and with everything just a few swipes away
Refined UI – A clean, calm interface designed to help you focus and write with ease
What stays the same? Privacy-first, offline-friendly, Markdown-powered journaling. Still the Diarly you know and love—now more beautiful and intuitive than ever.
We’d love your support!
If you’re enjoying Diarly or excited about the new iPhone update, we’d truly appreciate your feedback on Product Hunt. Every review and upvote helps more people discover the app and keeps us motivated to keep improving. 💛
Happy journaling, — Krzysztof & the Diarly team

Diarly was hunted by Krzysztof. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
