Personal-first journaling
Your life,
block by block
Capture your days, weeks, and years in a journal built for durability, privacy, and true data ownership. Write manually, import archives, sync checkins, or bring in workouts and metrics from Health Auto Export.
Features
Current features
DaysWeeksYears already covers manual journaling, archive imports, checkin sync, and Health Auto Export data capture.
Multiple journals
Keep separate journals for different parts of your life — travel, work, personal reflections. Each with its own privacy defaults.
Date-based entries
Every entry is anchored to a date. Browse your history as a timeline, filter by date range, or jump to any specific day.
Photo attachments
Attach multiple images to any entry. Photos are stored separately from your text for reliable, long-term archival.
Tags and filtering
Organise entries with tags. Filter across journals to find exactly what you're looking for, fast.
Day One import
Upload a standard Day One export ZIP and bring older entries, tags, and photo attachments into a private journal.
Foursquare / Swarm
Import a Swarm archive or connect Foursquare so new checkins flow into a journal automatically without creating duplicates.
Health Auto Export
Send Apple Health workouts and daily metrics from Health Auto Export. Workouts become journal entries, and metrics are stored for later review.
Yours alone
Every journal and entry is private to you. No one else can see what you write.
Data you own
Your data lives in PostgreSQL and standard object storage. Export, back up, or migrate whenever you want. No lock-in.
Roadmap
Coming soon
The next integrations widen the timeline beyond entries, photos, places, and workouts while keeping the same ownership model.
Garmin integration
Capture runs, rides, sleep, and recovery data from Garmin as another durable signal in your journal.
iCal format
Import and export calendar-friendly iCal data so events, plans, and journals can line up over time.
Built for decades
DaysWeeksYears is architected around PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage — proven technologies that will outlast any trend. Your journal from today should be readable in fifty years.
Private by default
Every journal is private. Your entries, your photos, your memories — they stay yours.
No lock-in
Standard formats, open storage, full export. If you want to leave, take everything with you. We built DaysWeeksYears because other platforms don't respect this principle.
