What grew lately.

NEW · 5

• A welcome

  Three short steps the first time Daylily opens, each beside a new painting: the three rules, your name and your journal, and a little help.

• Your name

  Tell Daylily what to call you. It greets you on Home and signs your garden, and it’s kept with your journal.

• Your folder, your choice

  Keep writing in the journal you have, start one in ~/Daylily, or open a folder you already sync. Nothing is moved or copied.

• A little help, then hello

  Turn the ghost prompts and the evening reminder on or off before you write a word. Then a hello, and today’s page.

• Any time again

  Help › Welcome to Daylily walks through it again whenever you want.

NEW · 2

• Pages that end with a picture

  Today’s page could stop opening when an image was the last thing on it. It opens again, with everything you wrote.

• Quieter still

  An image from the web on your page is shown as its card from the very start, without Daylily ever reaching for it.

NEW · 4

• Paste or drop

  Paste a picture, or drag one onto today’s page. A line shows where it will land, between your paragraphs.

• Kept beside your words

  Each one is copied, untouched, into the day’s folder under the next number, image-01.jpg, image-02.png and on, and the page links to it in plain markdown any editor can read.

• Quiet when it can’t show

  An image whose file is gone, or one from the web, shows as a small card instead. Daylily never loads images from the web.

• Images from elsewhere, kept

  An image added to today’s page in another editor stays put when Daylily saves.

NEW · 4

• Search your days

  ⌘K, or Ctrl K, from anywhere: every page you’ve written, searched by its title and its words, on your computer and nowhere else.

• A look before you open

  Results come as you type, and the chosen day shows beside them with the words marked. ⌘J, or Ctrl J, puts the preview away.

• Opened at the words

  Open a day and it scrolls to the words you were looking for, which glow for a moment and fade.

• Finds what you meant

  “Cafe” finds “café”, “walk” finds “walked”, and a small typo in a longer word is forgiven.

NEW · 1

• A sharper share card

  The meadow behind “Save as image” is painted at twice the size, so the card stays crisp wherever you share it.

NEW · 3

• Twenty covers

  Eight new covers: the sea, mountains, a forest, a garden, a full moon, the Milky Way, a telescope under shooting stars and a rocket launch far away.

• Sharper covers

  Every gallery cover painted again, large and wide, so a day’s cover stays sharp and keeps its subject in view.

• Room to choose

  The cover picker shows four rows and scrolls to the rest.

NEW · 6

• Updates itself

  Daylily looks for a new version as it opens and every few hours. On Windows and with the AppImage it installs when you quit, or right away with “Restart now”.

• A word when it’s ready

  A quiet card above Settings says when a new version is ready. “Not now” puts it away until the next one.

• Everywhere else, a link

  On a Mac or with the Debian package, Daylily says a new version is out and links to its download.

• Your journal, named

  The top of the sidebar names your journal and its folder, and opens its settings.

• A journal’s first day

  Days before you started aren’t counted as rested: the calendar, Home and the garden show them as plain ground.

• Small fixes

  A quit that could hang now finishes, a ghost prompt keeps its “…” with its words, and the garden fits a narrow window.

NEW · 6

• Today’s page

  Opens on “How was your day?” with the cursor ready, and saves as you write.

• Ghost prompts

  Pause, and a quiet question appears. Never inserted, gone when you type.

• Days seal at 4am

  When the day ends its page stays as written, like ink. Coverless days get one from the gallery.

• Plain markdown files

  One folder per day, in a folder you choose. Edit anywhere; Daylily notices.

• Calendar and garden

  A month of covers, and a year of flowers, one for every day you wrote.

• An evening reminder

  “How was your day?” at your time, skipped when you’ve already written.
