v0.1.0

The first release of Daylily: one page a day, written by you, kept by you, grown into a garden.

Daylily is early. It works, it keeps your words safe, and it will keep changing quickly.

What's in it

• Today's page. It opens on "How was your day?" with the cursor ready. A title, a cover from the gallery or your own photo, and a calm markdown editor that saves as you write.
• Ghost prompts. Pause, and a quiet question appears at the end of the line. It's never inserted, and it's gone the moment you type.
• Days seal at 4am. When the day ends, its page is sealed and read-only, like ink on paper. A day written without a cover gets one from the gallery.
• Your files, in plain markdown. One folder per day in a journal folder you choose (~/Daylily by default). Edit them in any app; Daylily notices, and quietly marks a sealed day that changed.
• Calendar and garden. A month of covers and titles, and a year of flowers, one for each day you wrote. Save the garden as an image to share.
• An evening reminder. "How was your day?" at the time you choose, skipped when you've already written. While it's on, Daylily waits in the tray when its window is closed.
• Light and dark, following your system if you like.

Installing

These builds aren't signed yet, so your system will warn you the first time:

• macOS: open the .dmg for your Mac (arm64 for Apple silicon, x64 for Intel) and drag Daylily to Applications. The first time, right-click Daylily and choose Open. If macOS still refuses, run xattr -cr /Applications/Daylily.app in Terminal.
• Windows: run Daylily-0.1.0-setup.exe. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Linux: make the .AppImage executable and run it, or install the .deb with sudo apt install ./daylily_0.1.0_amd64.deb.

SHA256SUMS lists each file's checksum, so you can check your download.
