Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Day One is being acquired by Automattic Inc. This is incredibly exciting news. For the past 10 years since I started Day One, I’ve worked to not only create the best digital journaling experience in the world, but one that will last. By joining Automattic, I’m now more confident than ever that the preservation and longevity of Day One is sure. This acquisition will provide Day One access to the same technological, financial, and security benefits that WordPress.com, Tumblr, and other Automattic entities enjoy.

The Next Chapter of Day One at Automattic

Its been a while since I’ve used Day One, but I have fond memories of the app as an early example of “doing it right” as an iOS app. I look forward to seeing some connections between WordPress, Tumblr, and Day One.
