What You Can Add to a Diarium Journal Entry

Diarium entries go beyond plain text: you can attach photos, videos, audio recordings, PDFs and files of any format, format your writing with rich text, add locations and tags, split a day into multiple timestamped entries, and dictate instead of typing. All of this works on Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad and Mac, and none of it requires an account. The one condition to know up front is that syncing these entries across devices requires the Pro version and uses your own cloud storage.

Attachments: photos, videos, audio and any file

Each entry can hold unlimited attachments, so a single day's entry can combine a photo set, a voice memo and a PDF receipt without hitting a cap described on the site.

• Photos and videos — attach them directly to the entry they belong to.
• Audio recordings — record within the app rather than switching to a separate recorder.
• PDFs and other files — the site states files of any format are supported, so documents and exports can sit alongside your writing.

This matters if you journal about a trip, a project or a medical appointment log: the entry becomes the container for the evidence, not just the reflection.

Formatting, lists and links

Entries support rich text rather than plain text only:

Linking between entries is the less obvious feature: it lets you build a thread across dates, for example linking each workout entry back to a training-plan entry.

Locations, tags and multiple entries per day

• Locations attach a place to an entry, which feeds the map view used to revisit trips and everyday moments.
• Tags organize entries and can double as trackers — the site specifically mentions using tags to track mood, weight or other metrics over time.
• Multiple entries per day are allowed, and a single entry can be separated using timestamps. If you want a morning and evening entry on the same date, this is how you keep them distinct.

Dictation for hands-free writing

Dictation is available when you want to write without typing. It is a practical fit for capturing a thought while walking or logging an entry at the end of a day when typing feels like friction. Treat it as a capture method, then edit with the rich text tools afterward.

What stays private while you add all this

Diarium does not require an account, and entries can stay on your device. Protection options are a password, PIN or biometrics. If you want the same entries on multiple devices, optional Cloud Sync uses OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud or WebDAV — your own storage, not Diarium's.

A realistic example

Suppose you want a travel log for a week-long road trip. Each day you create one entry, attach the day's photos and a short audio note recorded in the car, tag the entry with the trip name, and attach the location so it appears on the map view. You link each day's entry to the previous one so the trip reads as a chain. Back home, you use the gallery and map views to revisit it, and "On this day" notifications resurface it later.

Deciding whether this fits you

Choose Diarium for this kind of rich entry if you want attachments, formatting and location context in one private place and are willing to pay once per platform for sync. If your priority is only typed text with no attachments, the extra features are optional rather than required — you can journal with plain entries and ignore them. If cross-device access is essential from day one, plan for the Pro purchase, since sync depends on it.
