What it does
Diary.com is a journaling service with entries, photos, videos, voice notes, people, places, goals, and family memories. Its official site describes a Life Twin that can answer questions about journal content, life-replay timelines, shared family spaces, and creative outputs such as Life Books. The free plan includes unlimited private journaling and 1 GB for media; paid plans add higher storage and expanded features.
Build a searchable record of life, not just a text diary
Diary.com combines journal entries with media, people, places, goals, and family spaces. The product pages describe an AI Life Twin that can reflect on journal material, plus timelines, memories, and Life Books. This makes the product broader than a private text notebook: it is aimed at collecting life events and revisiting or sharing selected memories with family.
The official pricing page lists a free plan with unlimited private journaling and 1 GB of media storage; Plus is shown at $9.99 per month. Its privacy policy was last updated on 2026-10-24 and says the service collects account data and journal content, including uploaded media and Life Twin conversations. That policy is important context for anyone deciding whether to upload a personal archive. I did not create an account, upload an entry, test family sharing, or evaluate the AI Life Twin.
Strengths
- The free plan lists unlimited private journaling and a 1 GB allowance for photos, video, and voice.
- Entries can be connected to people, places, goals, memories, and family spaces rather than kept as an isolated text stream.
- The privacy policy is current to 2026-10-24 and documents what account and journal data the service collects.
Watch out for
- The product stores uploaded journal content and related data as part of its cloud service, so users should review the privacy policy before uploading sensitive material.
- AI reflections and family-oriented features make it a broader service than a minimal private diary.
Best for
- People who want to collect writing and media into a long-term life story or family archive
- Users interested in AI-assisted reflection and structured life memories alongside journaling
