If you're considering Diarium ($7.99/year), there's an alternative worth knowing about. DailyVox offers AI-powered voice journaling with mood detection, a Digital Twin that learns your personality, and encrypted backups — completely free, with no cloud servers.
Diarium vs DailyVox
Diarium: Cross-platform calendar diary. DailyVox adds voice-first input, on-device AI, and a Digital Twin that learns your personality.
DailyVox: Free forever. Voice-first journaling with on-device AI. Your entries never leave your phone. No account, no subscription, no ads. Apple's "Data Not Collected" privacy label.

Why Switch?
DailyVox isn't trying to be Diarium. It's a different approach: voice-first, privacy-first, free forever. If Diarium works for you, great. If the price, privacy model, or lack of voice features bothers you, DailyVox is worth trying.
