I just downloaded the Mac app. It looks clean and I prefer its basic writing environment to Day One on my Mac. Fewer features, but nothing much missing, given the way I write. Interesting that there’s a simple Day One import option - I’ll try it with one of my journals…
I’m using Dark Mode in Mojave on my Mac and for some reason the drop-down menus in the app are gray instead of black…
I do miss being able to change fonts, a limitation that a lot of cross-platform diary or text apps have. On Ulysses in iOS I’m able to install any font from my Mac, and that alone puts it ahead of other options when I’m writing. I just feel more comfortable using the font of my choice, which is usually not one of the base fonts chosen by developers. (And sometimes devs remove fonts without explanation - as Day One did recently.)

Follow-up: Mojave is in dark mode but when Diarly is in its own light mode the menus are the odd gray color. When the app is in its own dark mode the menus look right.

Hello satis,
Thanks for the feedback. Will add custom fonts to my todo list for future updates.
By the dropdown menus being gray - you mean the menu on right click in editor area ?
Other views such as the calendar or journal picker etc are custom views so could possibly add the separate style to the css file to control how they look.

Ah, what I just realized is that the dropdown menus (Diarly / File / Edit / Format) have some transparency, so when not in Dark Mode the menus look grey when dropping atop the Diarly Window. (and the color changes if the menu drops over some other window.) I wasn’t accustomed to that.

Ok, think it’s not too bad then :whew:
My priority at the moment is bug fixes and finishing iPhone. Added PDF exporter over weekend, might need to make it more customizable - now it just exports opened journal in American Letter size (majority users are from US).
Any suggestion appreciated.
