Serious, non snarky question - how are you different than Path, then?

A few different ways, I think Path is amazing for what it does, btw. A real inspiration for all of us. It seems to really promote you to share with your friends. We don't share at all. We also import your activities from other networks. You can post to it by email, view it on the web...please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Since most people are eager to share a lot of the content they create this can be seen like some sort of backup of your shared data with a built-in viewer. Which may sound like what Facebook is doing right now. But with the added bonus of storing all the other content not considered worthy of sharing in public for whatever reason. This is essentially what any other 'cloud' storage services want to achieve. The chronological timeline or whatever filters can be easily added to any service once it has the data. Phone/tablet vendors have the edge on this since they can implement this feature directly into their devices (e.g iCloud, Google Drive).

Nice App. I worked on this Idea for quite long time and discussed with many web developers as I am not into web development.Many suggested me to learn and develop but I couldn't. That is a different story. My perspective was different and it was not just simple Private Journal of your personal life.It meant to improve your way of life. I thought of many features which can do so. For example: Capture moment and also m…

Yes! I'm really into self-learning and improvement as well, both in athletics and music. We're hoping with with this v1 of Everyday.me we first lay the groundwork for self-chronicling, then there's _so_ much we can do around goal setting, tracking, and helping people achieve their goals. That's what gets me really excited about working on this.

While I'm not a target customer I'm sure you'll find early adopters thanks to YC&TC. Launching is hard, so congrats on that. That being said, I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole 'limited sharing' trend. Path got the ball rolling and has gotten pretty popular. Then came the sharing between couples - Pair, cupple etc. (seriously?) And now no sharing but just journaling for yourself ? How do you guys make money ?

For a long time I tried to build a lifelogging app, something pretty similar to this, hell, we even went to the YC interview with that idea. I love this space & I love seeing someone tackle the problem with such a simple & clean app. This is actually something I would use myself: no numbers, no social bullshit. Just a simple app to keep track of my day. Great job! Good luck & godspeed!

I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable having my private journals on someone else's server.

Agreed. I love the Feltron Reports and the stuff Wolfram Alpha does with his own personal data, but I can't really get down with this. ThinkUp (for social media) and Day One / Daytum (for personal data) is all I need. You can't really reproduce Feltron Reports on scale.

What if you could do the Wolfram Alpha thing with a local appliance (e.g. a plug computer type thing) and its backups - if you did not explicitly want to manage them yourself - were encrypted before they ever left your network or were seen by a third party?

I guess the problem then is making subscription money on it.

As an introvert who is in the process of deleting their facebook account for privacy reasons, I see real value in this. I'd like to keep a private journal more in line path/instagram/twitter - just for me. That being said I have a couple pieces of advice: Make sure I can export ALL of the data, anytime. Make sure you securely backup all of my data. CHARGE ME for this service, so I know you won't sell my data. Only wa…

Nice idea, and I'm eager to use it day to day, but one small quibble: It would be nice if the setting allowed me to set the language - you currently set the language based on the location, right? Assuming the language of the land is my preferred language setting is not correct.

Can we use location services and set the language preference?
