Questions
- Is Dayline end-to-end encrypted?Yes, for everything you store: your entries are encrypted on your device before they sync, with keys we don’t have. In Standard AI mode the AI reads each message to log it and doesn’t keep it; On-device only mode keeps AI out.
- Does the AI read my entries?In Standard mode, yes: the AI reads each message, and about a page of related context, to log it; then it is discarded. Choose On-device only and nothing goes to an AI model.
- Does Dayline read my SMS or connect to my bank?No. Dayline doesn’t read your SMS or connect to your bank, UPI app or cards. You log a spend by typing one line, saying it, or sharing a payment message into Dayline.
- Is it free?Yes. Dayline is free for everyone during the beta, with 900 AI messages a month. Subscribing to Plus early is optional and doesn’t unlock extra features yet.
- How do I install it on Android?Open dayline.online in Chrome, sign in with Google, then tap Chrome’s menu (⋮) › Install app. Dayline opens in its own window with its own icon, and updates arrive by themselves.
- Can I speak instead of typing?Yes. Tap the mic and talk for up to two minutes, in English or Hinglish. Dayline writes it down and puts it in the box for you to check; nothing is saved until you send it.
- What is the recovery key, and why does it matter?It’s the backup key to your encrypted diary. Save it somewhere safe: if you lose every device and the recovery key, nobody, including us, can get your entries back.
- Can I export or delete my data?Yes, any time, in Settings › Privacy & security › Your data: download a locked archive or a readable copy. Delete account erases your locked data, key wraps and account right away.
- Do you track what I do in the app?Not as you. Your devices send counts of what happens in the app, without your account, a device id or your entries, and you can turn them off.
- I used Dayline in the beta. Is my account still there?Yes. Sign in with Google using the same email address you used in the beta: it’s the same account and the same encrypted vault.
Guides by use case
- Know where your UPI money wentLog UPI payments the way you’d text a friend: “240 uber on UPI”. Dayline files the amount, merchant and category against your monthly budget.
- A monthly budget with a daily paceSet one monthly budget, even one that starts on payday. Dayline shows what’s left and a daily pace: what you can spend today and still end on budget.
- Log meals and calories in HinglishType “do roti aur dal, lunch mein” and Dayline logs the meal with a calorie estimate, marked as an estimate. Give your own number if you know it.
- An expense tracker that reads like a diaryDayline turns the day’s spends, meals and moods into a short journal page, so your money has context: what you bought, who with, how the day felt.
- A private journal that only you can readDayline is a journal and life log whose entries are end-to-end encrypted on your device. Write or say a line; the day becomes a page only you can read.
- Tasks and reminders from one lineType “remind me to call mom at 7” and Dayline sets a reminder that reaches your phone with Done and Snooze. Tasks get due dates from what you write.
Free for everyone during the beta. Not available in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland yet.
