Permission Notice
To support full local backup and export functionality, Durian Diary requires permission to access all files on your device (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). The export feature allows you to package your diary content — including text, images, audio, and video — into a ZIP file, which can be saved to a user-specified location. This feature is one of Durian Diary’s core capabilities for enabling data migration and long-term local archiving.

All data is stored locally by default, with optional backup via WebDAV.
No ads, no tracking — just a focused journaling experience.

Note: Some features require permission access (e.g., location and weather), but core functions work fully offline.

Recent changes:
Fix: Repeated prompts after denying location access and auto-location not requesting permission; auto address and weather now off by default
Improved: Gallery loads thumbnails on demand, with no count limit for months and years
Fix: Diary image loading failures, black flashes when returning to the list, and blurry long-image thumbnails
