Day One Labs: Try Experimental AI Features

If you haven’t heard of Day One Labs, it’s our new way of letting you try experimental journaling features. Many of the features in Labs are powered by AI, and we know that brings important questions, especially around privacy and security. Just like the rest of Day One, these features are built with your privacy in mind. They’re optional, process only the entry or entries you choose, and never store or use your content for AI training. You can read more in our FAQs.

To get access to Day One Labs, sign up at dayoneapp.com/labs with your Day One account email and user ID.

Here’s what’s new for Labs in version 2025.13:

Go Deeper

Already available in Labs, Go Deeper uses AI to generate personalized and dynamic prompts in the editor based on what you’ve written, helping you reflect further and uncover new insights.

Here’s how it works:

1. Start writing a journal entry as usual.
2. Once you’ve written a few sentences, tap the new Go Deeper icon below the editor.
3. You’ll get personalized prompts based on your entry. Tap one to insert it and continue journaling.

AI Title Suggestions

Sometimes the hardest part of journaling is knowing what to title your entry. AI Title Suggestions offer creative, context-aware titles based on what you’ve written.

After enabling in Labs, open any journal entry, tap the three-dot menu, and select Entry Title Suggestions. Choose a title that resonates and keep writing.

AI Image Generation

Now you can bring your entries to life with custom images generated by AI, based on your journal entry’s content. With AI Image Generation, you can choose from styles like Line Art, Analog Film, or Digital Art, and even customize how the image is generated by adjusting the prompt source.

Once you find an image to match your journal entry, tap Insert to add the image directly to your journal entry. It’s a beautiful way to visually represent what you’ve written.

Share Your Feedback

We’re excited to bring you tools that make journaling faster, more creative, and more insightful—whether you’re just getting started or have kept a journal for years. Let us know what you think about the new Labs features, and keep an eye on your inbox for more to come.
