   I live in Day One

   I have been using Day One since it was in beta. I am a writer and digital content specialist so I do a lot of writing. Day One has grown in capability and beauty since its inception -- I use it more and more everyday.

   To be frank, I tried to use EverNote but found to cumbersome and a bit much. For my mind, Day One provided the perfect palelette for me to sit down and write anything -- the tag it, or easily move it to another journal. It allows up to 10 journals, one of which I have synced to my Instagram, as I like to keep a record of what I post there.

   If you are writing daily, doing Morning Pages, if you blog and need a place to work on drafts, Day One's set up is so easy. It syncs over the cloud to your phone (I'm on Apple products, recognizes voice to text smoothly and allows images to be easily drag and dropped.

   The interface with tagging could be slightly more intuitive but the team is constantly doing updates and I am sure that will be worked out soon.

   I love it and recommend it to anyone writing.

   🏁 Competitors: Evernote, Scrivener, Microsoft Word, Google Docs

   👍 Pros:    Intuitive|Beautiful search experience|Instagram|Easy user interface|Inexpensive|Great for writers|Great value for the money

   👎 Cons:    Tagging needs to be made easier

  Well done! it’s cross platform. I can see this be used as a geek-friendly Day One [1]. [1] https://dayoneapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Looking for a windows app

  Have you tried dayoneapp.com - its been a long time since I used it, it's more of an iOS app than Windows but I think it works on the web. Source: 7 months ago

• desperate for help

  I journal on and off but I find it difficult to get myself to make it stick as a habit. Physical journaling is tough sometimes because I'm not home etc etc... But I'm thinking of trying out the Day One journal. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple’s new journaling app turns your iPhone into a digital diary

  There’s been journaling apps since iPhone came out, like the excellent Day One. Source: about 1 year ago

• What laptop and apps do you use to write?

  For general diary writing, I use Day One. It's clean, easy to use, and has no frills. You just...write. When I got it, it was one price but now it's a subscription for $2.99 a month. Source: about 1 year ago

• What are regular meals?

  Get a subscription to https://cooking.nytimes.com/. I know it sounds crazy to pay for recipes when there are so many free cooking websites and youtube channels, but everything is tested and the instructions are clear for beginning cooks. There are whole sections for weeknight meals, chicken, pasta, vegetarian, etc. And thousands of recipes in the database so you'll never run out. Source: 10 months ago

• Every time I find a recipe on google, it turns out to be crap. Are there any websites with recipes that are actually good?

  From there I'll go to America's Test Kitchen, NYTimes Cooking, and Milk Street. Milk Street is the (relatively) new project from Chris Kimball, who used to head ATK and has more of a focus on everyday cooking and international cuisine and has produces a few gems for me (and is also an absolutely excellent place to buy supplies and tools). All three have the same basic issue of seeming vaguely bland to my palate... Source: 12 months ago

• Recommendations?

  NY Times cooking — Another subscription service, but you can create a free account. Also, try refreshing the page and spamming the ESC key on PC right before the prompt to log-in pops up. They have some very famous recipes, including one for chocolate chip cookies (seriously, make this one!), no-knead bread, and many others. Source: about 1 year ago

• How much do you spend, per person, a week on food?

• after actually following a few online recipes I'm convinced the people who post them are just making shit up

  Add Simply Recipes and New York Times Cooking (although with that one, you only get a certain number of recipes for free each month, then you have to pay.) I do pay for New York Times because I found myself using their recipes so often that I was running out of free ones each month. They publish really good, solid recipes. Source: over 1 year ago
