My Diary
Locked diary with themes, stickers and a mood calendar
What is My Diary?
My Diary is a diary app with a lock for Android, iPhone and iPad from BetterApp Tech. Entries can include photos, videos, recordings and drawings, and are decorated with themes, backgrounds, stickers and fonts. A mood picker feeds a mood calendar and statistics, and tags group entries by topic. Most features are free with ads; a Premium membership, sold monthly, yearly or as a permanent purchase, unlocks extra themes and backgrounds.
My Diary has a free plan. Paid plans start at $2.99 per month (US App Store in-app purchase). See every plan
