A diary that feels like you

Canvary 2.0 is a new diary, page by page: drawn stickers, a gentle mood check-in, and four whole looks to choose from.

Every day becomes a page

Write, draw with Apple’s drawing tools, drop in photos and turn any photo into a sticker. Decorate the page the way your day felt.

56 doodle stickers

Cats, dogs, treats, flowers and little joys: doodles made for Canvary and found nowhere else.

Check in on your mood

One tap a day with a doodle face, plus what you were up to, so the feeling has its reasons beside it.

See your mood map

Trends over 7, 30 or 90 days, your best day of the week, your streak and what lifts you up. With Apple Intelligence, a short reflection is written on your device.

4 styles, endless themes

Modern, Sticker, Scrapbook or Soft Journal, each changing the whole app. Then pick from 28 colors, patterns and animal themes.

Never stuck for words

300 prompts in ten themes, from gratitude and self-care to just-for-fun questions, whenever the page looks too empty.

Guided programs

One page a day for gratitude, calm and new starts. Each day brings its own question, and you grow a little with every page.

our story

Because every moment matters

Born from love

Canvary started with a simple wish — to never forget the precious moments with our son. His first steps, his laughter at the park, the tiny drawings he made, the bedtime stories we shared. Time moves so fast, and we realized that if we did not write it down, these beautiful details would quietly slip away. So we built a place to keep them forever.

Every experience counts

Life is full of adventures big and small — family trips, quiet Sunday mornings, cooking together, discovering something new. We believe these everyday experiences deserve to be remembered just as much as the milestones. Canvary gives you the freedom to capture it all: write about it, draw it, photograph it, or simply speak your heart. No moment is too small to matter.

A gift for the future

Every entry you write in Canvary is more than a diary page — it is a piece of your family's story. One day, your children will read about the world through your eyes and know how deeply they were loved. That is the real magic of keeping a diary: it turns fleeting moments into memories that last a lifetime.
