Can I import my Day One entries into talkamore?

Yes. Export your Day One journal and import it into talkamore in a few minutes — entries and dates included.

Does talkamore's AI really read all my past entries?

Yes — that's the core idea. You can ask about anything you've ever written and get an answer grounded in your real entries.

Is talkamore cheaper than Day One?

talkamore is free to start, $12.99/month, or $99 once for lifetime access — with every AI feature included, no separate upgrade. Day One's AI lives in its top tier.

Does talkamore have voice journaling like Day One?

Yes. Speak your entry on the web or Telegram and it's transcribed — and your raw words are saved before any AI processing.

What happens to my journal if I cancel?

You can export everything, anytime. Your data is never held hostage.

Is my journal private?

Entries are encrypted at rest with a key tied to your account and are never used to train AI models. Privacy is the default, not an upgrade.
