# Easy Diary

> Free, open-source diary app for Android with no ads

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.

## Key features

- **Writing by keyboard or voice:** Entries are created and edited with the keyboard or with voice recognition, and photos can be attached to them.
- **Search, calendar and timeline:** Search highlights the matching keywords in saved entries. A calendar shows entries by day, and a timeline lists them in chronological order.
- **Diary postcards:** An entry and its attached photo can be turned into a postcard image to share with friends, for example for an anniversary or a holiday greeting.
- **PIN and fingerprint lock:** The app can be locked and unlocked with a personal identification number or with fingerprint recognition.
- **Themes and fonts:** There are 171 color themes plus a color picker for text and background. TTF fonts copied into the app's font directory can be used as well.
- **Google Drive backup and charts:** All content, including attached photos, can be backed up to and restored from your own Google Drive. Bar charts show when you write.

## 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.
