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.

For iOS, I placed a syncthing folder inside my iCloud directory and it works fairly well. My MacBook, an always-on Pi, and a few other boxes run syncthing for a directory full of Markdown files that I use with Notational Velocity[0] on Mac and 1Writer[1] (highly recommended!) on iOS. Using it this way for a couple years and it works well, occasionally go through and diff the sync conflict files that slowly... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Just picking and choosing the best features from my favorite apps: - TaskPaper tags are nice, but isn't multi-platform. - I like search+creation UX of nvAlt (explained well on: https://notational.net/), but no decent non-mac clients. Also non-plaintext richtext gets in the way. - I use SimpleNote because it's multiplatform, but the tags are hard to use. Also somethings like inter-note tags are just a distraction... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Bike is beautiful! I'm tempted. But all my notes are in Notational Velocity (https://notational.net/) at the moment, because the largest source of friction for me is *finding note files*. In Notational Velocity I never have to open a file dialog; file dialogs on Mac OS are still shockingly slow, and even if they were fast it would take too long to find the file I want. My hands never leave the keyboard; I just... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Has the very simple modeless operation of Notational Velocity: When you open the app, you just start typing, and it incrementally searches the full text of existing notes, and creates a new note if the search text is not found. Source: over 1 year 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: 12 months ago
