  If my phone is getting too full from journal entries, but I don’t want to delete them permanently, is there a way to have the data stored only in the cloud, but not on my phone/Mac?

  I have a similar question!

  My phone’s screen is malfunctioning, so I have plans to get a new phone, but I’m afraid I will lose all my Day One entries when I switch phones!!! So I’m curious if it’ll be safe in the cloud! Ugh, I forgot my password too!!!!!! 🙄

  What makes this a pain is I can only afford Day One Classic!!! 🫣

  Hello!

  Day One does store data locally on the device by design. That way you always have access to your journal entries, whether online or not. 
  
  We do have a couple of space-saving features you can use. See here: 

  • Optimize Device Storage
  • Selective Sync

  Let us know if that helps or if we can assist you further.
