Dear Diary

Dear Diary is a virtual diary that feels almost like a real diary. The pages automatically get updated based on the current date. Let inspiration take over and write down your thoughts and ideas, accompanied by soft music in the background.

Of course, if you prefer to write in silence, you can always turn off the music.

This diary never gets finished off nor do its pages. Protect it with a password, so that all your entries remain private. As a quick tip, choose your password carefully because there is no password recovery system available.

It is worth mentioning that you can’t change the font and size. However, we think that the cursive font matches perfectly the other design elements of the app.

You can download Dear Diary for free from the Microsoft Store.

Dream Diary

Dream Diary is a special kind of diary allowing you to write down – yes, you guessed it – your dreams. If you want to save your dreams, this is the perfect tool for you.

Thanks to Dream Diary, you’ll have all your dreams in one place. Keep your diary close to your bed and write immediately after waking up.

Recording dreams allows you to analyze or interpret them easier, and you can also use this technique for lucid dreaming. Dream Diary is the right tool for all the dream interpretation fans.

You can always add a new dream, edit the one from last light in the case you remember some interesting details or remove dreams. As a bonus, you can also share your dreams with friends.

Dream Diary also displays interesting facts about sleeping at the bottom of the entry page. We really liked this trivia feature of the app.

The only disadvantage of this app is lack of password protection, but as long as you hide it well, and there’s no one else who has access to your computer, your dreams should be safe.
