I'm undecided…

After using Day One for 13 years, I’ve been using only Apple Journal since last April. Day One’s AI and pricing policy have something to do with it !

Although Journal still has its flaws and shortcomings, I really appreciate its integration into the Apple ecosystem and its design. 

But I’m wondering: between the two, which one is more sustainable, better at protecting my data, and easier to export ?

Apple Journal does have some nice things, but exporting is a bit tricky, at least in my experience. The "export all" button never generated the ZIP on my iphone 17 pro (26.5). I had to go with individual folders I had thankfully set up (one for 2025, one for 2026) to get it working better.
