How to use Dogood.
Everything Dogood does, where to find it, and how to switch it on, shown on the app itself. On a phone or on a computer.
- No account, nothing to install
- Works offline
- Your journal stays on your device
Write today’s page
Dogood opens on today’s page. What you write is saved on this device as you type: there is no Save button.
Write directly on the page. A single line is enough.
Move between days
Every day has its own page, past days included, so a missed day can always be written later.
Use the arrows to go back or forward a day, or swipe the page sideways.
Find your way around
On a phone, the bar at the bottom of the screen leads everywhere, and Print is in the menu. On a computer, everything is in the list on the left.
Your story gathers every page you have written, newest first, with a search.
Keep it safe
Your journal lives on this device, not on a server. Two habits keep it safe for years: a backup and a passphrase.
Open the menu.
Make it yours
A few settings, all in the same menu.
Choose the app’s language: English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese or Korean. You can write in any language.
Dogood Plus: sync and dictation
Writing, goals, habits, chapters and encryption are free. Dogood Plus adds every photo of the day, sync between devices, dictation and print-ready books, for a single payment.
Open Dogood Plus from the menu to see what it adds and how to get it.
Put it on your home screen
Dogood runs in the browser, and installs like an app: its own icon, its own window, and it opens without a connection.
- iPhone, iPadIn Safari: Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- AndroidIn Chrome: the menu ⋮, then Install app, or Install Dogood in Dogood’s own menu.
- Mac, WindowsIn Chrome or Edge: the install icon in the address bar, or Install app in Your journal.
On iPhone, the app on the home screen keeps its own copy of the journal, apart from Safari’s: back up in Safari first, then restore the file in the app.
Build Dogood with us.
Dogood is shaped by the people who write in it. An idea, something missing, a detail that gets in the way: tell us. Every message is read, and the next improvements come from them.
Now, today’s page.
