What happens when you cancel

Access and billing

Cancellation stops automatic renewal; you keep Premium features until the end of the current billing period.

No new charges occur after cancellation, but previously billed time remains available until expiry.

Data and account specifics

Your journal data remains in your account after cancellation unless you delete it manually.

Day One provides encryption and account controls, but terms indicate the company is not obligated to store content indefinitely - back up important entries.

Will I get a refund?

Apple App Store purchases

Refunds for App Store purchases must be requested via Apple’s Report a Problem process and follow Apple’s terms and decisions.

Day One refers users to Apple for App Store refund requests; the developer cannot directly refund App Store charges.

Google Play purchases

Refunds for Google Play subscriptions must be requested through Google Play’s refund workflow and are subject to Google’s policies.

Day One cannot issue Google Play refunds directly for transactions processed by Google.

Web (direct) purchases via Stripe

Subscriptions purchased through the Day One website are refundable within 14 days of purchase or renewal by contacting Day One support within that timeframe.

Outside that 14-day window, refunds are considered case-by-case and generally not guaranteed under the company’s terms.

Day One plans and pricing

Pricing summary

The following in-app prices for India are official for purchases made via Apple App Store (iOS/macOS) as of early 2026.

Promotional or temporary prices reported by users may vary and are not standard.

Your consumer rights in India

Digital subscriptions

India’s Consumer Protection and e-commerce rules generally do not mandate refunds for digital subscriptions; refunds and cancellation terms are governed by the platform (Apple/Google) or the vendor’s policy.

For digital goods like Day One Premium, expect platform policies to determine refund eligibility unless local law provides otherwise.

Right of withdrawal for goods

Day One’s 14-day statutory right of withdrawal applies to physical goods sold by the company, not to app subscriptions.

See the company’s return/withdrawal information: Right of withdrawal (company page).

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Users praise Day One for privacy and security features such as end-to-end encryption, passcode/FaceID and the ability to restore deleted entries.

Features like On This Day, multiple journals, calendar view and prompts receive high satisfaction compared with some alternatives.

Negative feedback

Some users report data loss or missing entries and recommend maintaining external backups of critical content.

Other complaints include syncing issues, occasional crashes, and frustrating editing behavior; these have prompted some users to consider switching apps.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before cancelling

• Purchase receipt or order confirmation email (App Store, Google Play or web receipt).
• Screenshot of active subscription in the App Store / Google Play / Day One account settings.
• Account email used for Day One and device details (model, OS version).

What to include in refund/contact requests

• Transaction ID, purchase date and billing period.
• Clear explanation of the request and any supporting screenshots or logs.

Common mistakes

Expecting Day One to refund platform purchases

Users often contact Day One for refunds for App Store or Google Play purchases; platform purchases must be refunded through Apple or Google respectively.

For App Store or Google Play transactions, start with the platform’s refund process rather than the app developer.

Not confirming cancellation or missing the right place

Canceling in the Day One app does not always cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription; use the platform’s subscription manager for those purchases.

Also confirm cancellation completion - check the platform subscription page or email confirmation to be sure renewal is stopped.

Comparative recap

At-a-glance comparison

After cancelling

Backup recommendations

Export or backup important entries before the subscription expires to ensure you retain local copies.

Use screenshots, exports or the app’s export functionality if available; do not rely on the app as the sole copy for critical content.
