Built natively for macOS

Diarly is a native Mac app, not a mobile app in a desktop window. It has a menu bar, keyboard shortcuts for everything, a Markdown editor, desktop widgets, Touch ID and typewriter mode. Your journal stays on your Mac and, if you choose, syncs to iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own iCloud.
