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.
Based on our record, Day One seems to be a lot more popular than Xpad. While we know about 32 links to Day One, we've tracked only 1 mention of Xpad. 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.
I think you could use Xpad for something like this but conky should work too. Source: about 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: about 1 year ago
There’s been journaling apps since iPhone came out, like the excellent Day One. Source: about 1 year 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: about 1 year ago
