Released
3.3.0 iPhone Redesign & Today Tab 😍
May 2025
We’ve launched a complete redesign of Diarly for iPhone — with smoother navigation, a calmer interface, and a focus on making journaling feel even more intuitive. All while keeping the simplicity and beauty you already love.
What’s new:
- Today Tab – Your new daily hub for quick access to entries, memories, quotes, and more
- Customizable Journal Pages – A fresh card-style layout that makes each journal uniquely yours
- Redesigned Calendar – A cleaner view with inline photo previews for visual reflection
3.2.1 Expanded widget selection 🎅

We’ve added two new widgets to enhance your experience:
- On this day: Displays the number of memories and photos from your past entries.

3.2.0 Improved Photos Integration
November 2024
Today’s photo gallery 📷
The Today’s Photo Gallery feature lets you effortlessly add all photos from a specific day into Diarly with just one click. You can customize which photos are displayed, and the gallery view shows all photos from the selected day.
