Returning with my journal from Day One to Obsidian yet again

After giving Day One’s Gold Tier an honest chance for about three months, I’m returning with my journal to Obsidian. While the annual subscription is fine overall, there are several major issues that make Day One unusable for me compared to Obsidian. Here is why I’m switching back: 1. **Halfway AI Implementation in Day One.** I find the presence of AI in a journal absolutely essential (though it must remain purely optional, as it is in Day One). However, the current implementation in Day One is totally absurd. The 🤖 is sandboxed; it can’t see regular timeline entries. This is an insurmountable obstacle for me because I need "play-by-play interaction" from morning to evening. If you’re going to implement AI, please make the robot fully available so we can interact with it/him/her directly within regular timeline entries. 2. **Atrocious Block Editor.** The block editor in Day One is extremely buggy and constantly freezes (or at the very least annoyingly wobbles) across the Windows app, the web app, Android, and iOS. We already know from WordPress how atrocious the Gutenberg block editor is; using this version is outright torture. It’s incredibly frustrating compared to the absolutely smooth, lightning-fast, and equally (or more!) capable pure Markdown editor in Obsidian. I know Automattic now owns Day One and will likely insist on using this block editor, but to me, it’s a…

our take

Obsidian user frustrated with Day One's AI limitations and editor; wants AI integrated into journaling workflow, fits PKM/AI-memory persona.
