Mini Diary
Mini Diary is a password-protected digital journal app for macOS that lets users record daily thoughts, events and reflections in a clean, distraction-free interface. Entries are stored locally on the device and encrypted with a user-selected password, giving users full control over their data. The app is designed for simplicity, with straightforward note entry and a minimal UI focused on writing rather than features. It is distributed via the Mac App Store.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether Mini Diary has a native Apple Silicon build. The app is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store, so your first step should be to open the App Store, search for Mini Diary, and check for available updates — if an update is present, install it immediately. When you do, the App Store will automatically serve you the native build if one exists. If no update appears, or if you want to confirm the architecture of your current installation before September 2028 (when Apple removes Rosetta 2), contact the developer Samuel Meuli directly through the app's support page or GitHub repository to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is in development. Given that Mini Diary is an actively maintained app with regular updates (version 3.3.0 exists), there is a reasonable chance a native build may already be available or forthcoming, so checking for updates in the App Store is your best next step.
