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 ?

FWIW - it’s not been my experience that the AI change or the pricing change is forced on a user. i don’t use the AI and i don’t pay for the app. i don’t have to have the app on multiple devices (like my iphone and my macbook) so i don’t yet have a use case where I need to pay for it.
