For Dayora users

For people who used Dayora.

Yewmark wasn’t built to compete with Dayora.ai. It was built because Dayora went away in early May 2026, and the people who used it deserved somewhere to land.

We’re not going to pretend Yewmark is the same app. It isn’t. But the kindof thing Dayora was — a quiet AI-assisted journal that didn’t lean on streaks or notifications — that idea is alive here.

What follows is honest about what carried over, what we did differently on purpose, and what to do with your old entries.

What carried over

A clean writing surface. The page that opens is a textarea. The cursor is in it. Anything else waits.

AI as a second voice, not a coach. You pick a personality (Companion, Scholar, Minimalist, Coach) in Settings and it stays out of your way until you ask. Per-entry digest, daily summary, weekly thread — all opt-in or opt-out as you like.

Mood and energy as observations, not metrics. Two taps after you save. No score, no chart that judges you.

Your words stay yours.We never use entries to train AI — ours or anyone else’s. The providers we route to (Groq, Cerebras, OpenAI) commit to the same on their business APIs.

What’s deliberately different

No streaks. We left the counter out on purpose — see /blog/why-slow.

A free tier you can live on.Three real AI requests per day, unlimited written entries, full JSON and Markdown export. The Quiet plan isn’t a trial — it’s the floor.

A 7-day undeletion window.If you delete your account, you have a week to change your mind. Stripe cancels at period-end so a renewal can’t fire inside that window. After seven days, we purge.

Voice journaling via Whisper. Steady and above. Audio is dropped after transcription — only the transcript reaches the database.

No public profiles, no sharing, no feed. Yewmark has one reader of your journal: you. The product collapses if you write for an audience.

Coming over from Dayora

Dayora’s export was inaccessible to most people by the time the service stopped. There isn’t a clean import path. For most users the practical thing is to start a new journal at Yewmark — old entries weren’t recoverable anyway.

If you do have a Dayora export sitting on disk somewhere, you can paste old entries in manually. Yewmark uses the timestamp at creation, so writing an entry today about something you originally wrote in March will date as today in the timeline. If that matters to you, write to [email protected] — we can run a one-off migration for you if you have the export.

What it costs

Quiet — free. Three AI requests per day, unlimited written entries. Steady — $3/month, voice journaling and 30 AI requests per day. Deep — $10/month, GPT-4o and 100 per day. Devoted — $25/month, effectively unlimited.

Plans cancel any time, end-of-period. EU and UK consumers get a 14-day cooling-off period — see the terms.

No card. The Quiet plan is free, and means it.
