What is Easy Diary?
Easy Diary is an open-source diary app for Android. Entries are typed or dictated with voice recognition, can include photos, and are browsed through a calendar, a timeline or search. The app locks with a PIN or fingerprint, can be restyled with color themes and custom fonts, and backs up to the user's own Google Drive. Every feature is free and without ads, and the source code is published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license.
Easy Diary is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- Android users who want a free diary with no ads and no paid tier
- People who prefer open-source apps and install from F-Droid
- Customizers who want many color themes and their own fonts
Worth knowing
- Android only: there is no iOS, desktop or web version.
- There is no sync service; moving entries to another phone means a Google Drive backup and restore.
- The FOSS build flavor leaves out Google Mobile Services, so it has no Google Drive backup, and new features reach it later.
- The README credits the app's English text to machine translation.
