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.
Todo.txt might be a bit more popular than Day One. We know about 37 links to it since March 2021 and only 32 links to Day One. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
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 / 2 months ago
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: 5 months ago
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: 11 months ago
There’s been journaling apps since iPhone came out, like the excellent Day One. Source: 11 months ago
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: 11 months ago
FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while. https://fsnot.es/ todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind. http://todotxt.org/ And of course pretty much all of *nix. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback! - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links). Source: 11 months ago
For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys. Source: 12 months ago
