  As a subscribed and daily user of Day One, I truly appreciate the seamless journaling experience your app provides. However, I would love to see a native Windows application to enhance accessibility and usability on desktop devices.

  While the web app is helpful, a dedicated Windows version would offer better performance, offline access, and a more integrated experience. I believe many users like myself would benefit greatly from this addition.

  Could you share any plans regarding a Windows app? I’d love to know if this is on your roadmap.

  Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve this fantastic platform!

  Any updates on this, is a native application for windows in the pipelines, or is it ignored for better mac development and low windows demand?

  This, ma’am, is native? It’s not even an electron application. It’s just a very lazy, poor, resource hungry, laggy, slow web wrapper, and even that is not done tastefully.
