It would natural to read this comment with an asshole tone, but it\'s
really not meant that way. I would genuinely like to know what makes Day
One so great that it\'s worth going to all this hassle when there are
other apps (such as Momento) that already have this functionality
built-in? Genuinely not trying to be an ass, I just honestly don\'t
understand and would love for someone to explain it to me.

Day One has a Desktop app.

Looks like Momento is iOS only. For me, I want something on my Mac for
this type of thing.

Momento - as much as I love it - is iPhone only. Or doubled on iPad.

Ditto. Getting your data out of momento is a pain in the butt. Plus,
they are totally unresponsive when it comes to support. Day One is being
actively developed on multiple platforms and has import/export
functionality.
