OhDiary includes a personal dashboard, mood tracking, life-in-weeks visualization, photo diary, milestones timeline, and word count analytics. Every feature is designed to help you build a consistent journaling habit and rediscover past memories.
Your OhDiary dashboard displays writing streaks, total word counts, and mood trends at a glance. See which days you journaled, how your mood shifted over the past month, and how close you are to your next writing milestone.
Record important life events -- birthdays, career changes, travels, and personal achievements -- on an interactive timeline. Each milestone is color-coded by category so you can see how your life story unfolds across the years.
Attach photos to any journal entry and browse them in a dedicated photo diary view. OhDiary organizes images by date so you can scroll through your visual memories alongside the words you wrote that day.
See your entire life displayed as a grid of weeks, each cell colored by whether you journaled that week. This unique visualization helps you spot writing consistency patterns, identify gaps, and stay motivated to keep your journaling streak alive.
Rate your mood on a 1-to-5 scale with each journal entry. OhDiary plots your emotional trends over weeks, months, and years so you can identify what influences your well-being and notice patterns you might otherwise miss.
Track your total words written, daily writing volume, and cumulative progress over time. OhDiary compares your journal's word count to famous books -- see when you pass the length of The Great Gatsby or Harry Potter.
