FAQ
Is my diary uploaded to a server?
No. All entries are stored in a local database on your device. Only you can back them up to your own Google Drive or WebDav.
How is the calendar color decided?
Each day’s color is the mood level averaged from that day’s entries, mapped to the active theme’s 5-color palette. Days with no entry are left plain.
Can I export my diary?
Yes — PDF export is a VIP feature.
