Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What is DaySnip?

DaySnip is an AI-powered daily journaling app. You capture micro-moments throughout your day — voice memos, text thoughts, photos — and every Sunday, AI compiles them into polished daily journal entries called "wraps."

Do I need an account to use DaySnip?

No. DaySnip works without any account or sign-up. Download it and start capturing immediately. An Apple ID is only required if you enable iCloud sync for multi-device support.

What permissions does DaySnip need?

DaySnip requests microphone access for voice capture and photo library access for photo snips. Both are optional — you can use text-only capture without granting either permission. Notifications are requested for capture and reflection reminders.

Capture & Snips

What's a snip?

A snip is the core unit of DaySnip — a single micro-moment captured during your day. It can be a voice memo, a typed thought, or a photo. Snips are timestamped and collected throughout the day to build your journal.

Can I edit a snip after saving it?

Yes. Tap any snip from your Today view to edit or delete it. Voice transcriptions can be corrected if the speech recognition got something wrong.

Does voice capture work offline?

Yes. Voice capture uses on-device speech recognition — no internet connection is required. Your audio is transcribed locally on your phone and never leaves your device.

Daily Wraps

When do wraps get compiled?

Wraps are compiled every Sunday night. DaySnip processes the entire past week, generating one wrap per day for each day that has snips. You'll see your new entries in the Journal tab Monday morning.

What's the difference between on-device and cloud wraps?

On-device wraps are generated locally on your phone — they're fast but simpler. Cloud wraps (available with DaySnip+) use more powerful AI models for richer, more nuanced writing that finds themes and creates narrative-driven entries.

Can I edit a wrap after it's generated?

Absolutely. Wraps are your journal — edit them freely. Adjust tone, add details, remove anything that doesn't feel right. The AI gives you a starting point; you make it yours.

Therapy Prep

What is Therapy Prep?

Therapy Prep analyzes your recent journal entries and generates a summary of themes, mood trajectory, and patterns. Export it as a PDF to share with your therapist before your session.

How do the 3 free summaries work?

You can generate 3 Therapy Prep summaries at no cost. This lets you see the value of the feature before subscribing. After your 3 free summaries, Therapy Prep is available as a monthly add-on.

General

Is my journal private?

Yes. DaySnip has no social features, no sharing, and no public profiles. All data is stored on your device by default. Cloud sync (optional) uses your personal iCloud account. Your data is never sold or shared.

What happens to my data if I delete the app?

If you're using local-only storage, deleting the app removes all data permanently. If you have iCloud sync enabled, your data remains in iCloud and will restore when you reinstall.

Is DaySnip available on Android?

Not yet. DaySnip is currently iOS-only. Android is in active development — stay tuned.
