Plans to integrate with Siri AI?
-
Hi there,
I’m wondering if there’s any plan to allow Siri AI to access our journal entries. I have over 8000 entries (been journalling every day since 2003), and want to be able to ask broad and specific questions about my journal. I realize the MCP server exists, but it would be great if Siri (which already has access to my texts and notes and things) could also access my Day One content.
Thanks

Thanks for the detailed note, and for over two decades of journaling with Day One!
Right now, Apple does not have a way to let us “send” your Day One entries or search terms into Siri. Apple gives themselves hidden abilities that allows them to integrate Siri with your texts and notes on your device. The next closest thing available today is the Day One MCP server, as you already mentioned.
The MCP server lets a connected AI assistant (such as Claude Desktop or ChatGPT) read / search / create entries in Day One. A few things to know about it: it currently works on Mac only, needs a Silver or Gold subscription plus Day One 2026.17 or later, runs entirely on your device, and only reaches the journals you specifically enable for it. Siri isn’t one of the assistants it supports right now.
Our devs are keeping an eye out in case Apple adds this ability in the future. -
Ummm, they already have this ability. It’s called “app intents”. Day One simply needs to implement it.

I’m trying to build this functionality into my app at present – and it appears that there are a strict set of intents that an app can provide to Siri AI – they are quite inflexible and completely miss my app’s use cases. I don’t at this moment in time think that Siri AI is going to be the ‘AI hub’ as Apple would like it to be because of these limitations.
