a diary you keep together
Write your days.
Read each other’s.
A little space for everything between us. Dear Dairy is a private journal for two: part vintage diary, part scrapbook, part quiet place to say the things a chat window is too small for.
The first pages are being bound. Sign-in opens here soon. There is nothing to install and nothing to pay.
what lives inside
Everything a shared life collects, in one place.
Two journals, one shelf
Each of you keeps your own journal. A third one is shared. Every book has its own cover, paper and mood.
Locks only you two know
Seal an entry with any word, phrase or string of emoji. It opens for the person who knows it, and no one else.
Letters for later
Write an Open When letter for a hard day, a sleepless night or an anniversary. It waits until it is needed.
Memories, kept properly
Photos as polaroids, milestones on a timeline, and a quiet reminder of what happened on this day.
Read, not watched
See when your words were opened and when they were read. Each of you decides how much of that to share.
Yours to take away
Export every entry and photograph whenever you like. Nothing you write here is ever held hostage.
in plain words
What private means here
Your space is closed. Only the people you invite can enter it, and every page is kept out of search engines. Drafts are visible to their author alone.
A locked entry is checked on the server and opens only for the member who entered the right password. The people who run Dear Dairy can manage accounts and settings, but the app gives them no way to open a locked entry or read your pages.
We will be honest about the limits too: a lock is access control, not end-to-end encryption. We would rather tell you exactly what protects your words than promise something we cannot prove.
