Diaryx: Journal & Archive

Diaryx is your very own "papers project"---a place for the most important documents in your life, so they can be kept safe, transcribed, annotated, and safely shared with friends and family.


IF DIARYX DISAPPEARED, YOU WOULD LOSE NOTHING

Your files are stored as readable plaintext on your device. You don't need an app to view them or understand them. So, your files stay yours.


CIRCLES: SHARE WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Mark any page with a circle, such as "family" or "friends." Share with them a filtered view of your papers.

Invite one person at a time. The person you invite does not need an account or app—only a link to your website.


THEY WRITE BACK

Any reader, given access, can sign in and leave a remark on a page: a note, a highlight, a correction, a memory of their own.


BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

Import a journal from Day One or Apple Journal, your posts from Instagram, your Google Photos, or a folder of notes and scans. Each comes in as the pages of a book of its own, with its photos and videos.


BORROWED FROM ARCHIVISTS

Libraries and archives use techniques to keep documents trustworthy across generations. Diaryx brings that to the scale of one family.

- FIXITY: Diaryx records a fingerprint of every attachment, so damage from a failing drive or a bad sync can be detected immediately. Entries themselves are kept in a content-addressed history, and can be fingerprinted too by turning on Content checksums in Settings.

- HISTORY: Every save can be kept as a snapshot, and every circle gets its own history containing only what its readers were shown. Forgetting something removes it from every history that quoted it.

- EMBEDDED METADATA: Each file contains its own metadata, which means a document is never separated from its most important information.

- POLYHIERARCHY: Arrange the same collection by year, person, place, or any arbitrary thing, without moving a single file. One archive may have many different ways to look at it.

- SELF-REPAIRING: Detect issues with your files on-demand (such as fixity drift) and choose to fix it either automatically or manually.

Note: Diaryx does *not* currently automate backups or automatically scan your files for issues. It is recommended to regularly do the following for best possible outcomes for your files:
- Backup your folder via the Files app to a variety of locations
- Run Check Library (in Settings) to detect sync or bitrot issues.
