Frequently Asked Questions

How is MIQ different from Day One?

While Day One excels at traditional journaling with beautiful design and photo memories, MIQ uses AI to provide personalized prompts, identify patterns in your thinking, and generate actionable insights. MIQ is designed for strategic reflection and personal growth, not just recording memories.

Can I import my Day One entries to MIQ?

Yes! MIQ offers import tools for Day One users. Your historical entries help train the AI to understand your patterns and provide better insights from day one.

Is MIQ as private as Day One?

Absolutely. MIQ uses end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, meaning even we cannot read your entries. Your privacy is our top priority, just like Day One.

Does MIQ support photos and multimedia like Day One?

MIQ focuses on text-based reflection for deeper insights. Our strength is in AI-powered analysis of your written thoughts using the MIQ method, rather than multimedia memories.

Why should I switch from Day One to MIQ?

If you journal for personal growth, decision-making, or professional development, MIQ's AI features will supercharge your practice. If you primarily journal for memory-keeping and photos, Day One might still be the better choice.
