  The Mac OSX version only has the option to log in from an Apple account. Is there a way to sign in from the Google single sign-on option from the Mac OSX desktop version?

  Version number 2023.19(1508)
  
  Many thanks :)

  Hello there,

  There currently is not a way to sign in using the Sign in With Google option on Mac.

  If this is the sign in method you’re currently using, you will need to add that email address to your account by using the steps in the article below. Instead of choosing Sign in with Apple you will choose Sign in With Google and then you will be able to add an email address and password to your account from your account settings.

  Add an email/password to your Day One Sync account with Apple ID

  Once you’ve added that email address and a password to your account you can then use that to sign into your account on Mac.

  Hopefully that helps!

  Thanks for the answer. It worked!

  One more questions though; if I pay for the subscription for the app on Google Play Store, will that subscription work on Mac desktop version as well?

  Great to hear!

  Yes! As long as you are signed in to the same account on all devices, the subscription status is shared through your account on our servers. If for some reason one device does not recognize the subscription, you can Restore Purchases to force the receipt information through our servers to your devices.
