iPK 0 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi all. I have the version one of DayOne app with about 2-300 entries. Including pics and texts. Now Evernote has a password/Touch ID secuirty I have decided to use this app as my personal diary instead of DayOne. Ive done a search on how to export from DayOne to Evernote but failed to find any clearly and defined way. Has anyone discovered a way to do this efficiently? Link to comment

I see DayOne has an export > pdf function You could use that, and direct the files to an Evernote import folder on a Mac Link to comment
mat_rhein 3 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 the pdf export is fine if you want to simply archive the data. I would be interested in a workflow to generate one note per day entry from the journal. Dayone has several export options: pdf, json, html and text. Does anyone have a suggestion to achieve the above with one of these options? Link to comment
Nhip 0 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey guys, I'm upping this topic as I am also looking for that kind of wizardry. Any improvements ? solutions ? Everything that I can find is like from a looong time ago, doesn't work or isn't made in order to perform that task. Thanks ! Link to comment

This is not the exact solution to this problem but something for DayOne users to keep in mind. You can create a note in Evernote and save it to DayOne based on the tag so you should be able to reverse this to create an IFTTT from DayOne to Evernote for your NEW journal entries. If you are trying to abandon DayOne and solely use Evernote, this obviously will not work. For me, I love how DayOne works, looks, feels and it is a separate app function for me. On this day feature, or the calendar view are something Evernote cannot provide (nor do I expect from the note taking app). As long as, I know how I differentiate apps for usages, I am ok using multiple specialized apps. Also keeping the journal in a dedicated journal app makes it more personal, when I open that I know I am in that mind set whereas in Evernote I have a lot of information from work to personal, from stupid stuff to serious stuff. Nonetheless, I am curious to find out whether the original posters of this topic had some solutions or what they have done. Link to comment
Chaosspeeder 19 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi, I was in the same situation a few years ago. I love DayOne but I wasn't very happy with the fact, that my journal wasn't kept in Evernote. So I have written an App with most of the functionality of DayOne to keep my journal in Evernote. It's called YourDay. Please try it out on the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yourday-journal/id1095128827?mt=8 Website with more information: http://www.improveyourday.com I know, this is not the same solution your are looking for but give it a try.

Nhip 0 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thanks for the answer guys. I love DayOne as well, for the look and feel it has... in fact I have been using it for years. Lately I had some issues with cloud syncing that made some notes disappear in front of my eyes... Frustrating and definitely trust-breaker. And before that, I used Journler... which is now unsupported and cannot open anymore (so I have hundreds of notes I can't access ). So my decision was based upon these two criteria : reliability of cloud syncing and durability of the tool (and if Evernote ever shuts down (please no), I'm sure there will be alternatives and tools to migrate easily). @Chaosspeeder I like the feel of your tool and the fact that it is really build around Evernote ! I'll give it a try, even though my entry point for journling is mainly my computer. Thanks for sharing My solution to migrate everything so far : copy-paste, and manual edit... it'll take some time, but as the saying goes, the best way to eat an elephant is a bite at the time... Still, if anyone comes with a clean efficient solution, it would be awesome ! Link to comment
Chaosspeeder 19 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Maybe the YourDay app is a solution. Maybe not. I am curious about your experiences . Happy journaling. Link to comment
Michael Hyatt 17 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 @Chaosspeeder , do you intend to come out with an app for the Mac desktop? I would love that! Link to comment
BrightHomesRE 31 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Happy that I happened upon this thread as I am a daily user of DayOne. Yes, @Chaosspeeder will you have a Mac desktop version? Link to comment
