  Yet another +1 – I‘d like to do my journaling in one place, not spread it across apps.

  I’m back a little early for my annual bump on this feature request. My journal is getting bloated with PDFs imported from Goodnotes. C’mon gang, PLEASE add real Pencil support to Day One!

  +1 for OCR of handwriting in the app. Game changer.

  I’ve been using Dayone for so many years I can’t remember!!! Love the app and you have helped turn me into a journal enthusiast. Thank you for all your hard work.
  I’m also, very much a +1 for handwriting my journals. I left Dayone because of it and would love to come back home.

  Please add a request on my behalf, too! DayOne is my favorite journaling app and I have been a premium subscriber since 2011. I have always switched my daily journaling between paper notebooks and DayOne because there are times when I prefer to write by hand and times when I prefer typing; but, now owning an Apple Pencil and iPad, I would like the option of searchable, handwriting-to-text features similar to Apple Notes. Looking forward to seeing what DayOne brings to the table to compete with other journaling apps!
