MyDays

MyDays is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you keep a five-lines-per-day diary.

Portable running mode

You can run the utility by opening the executable file (there’s no installation included in the process). Plus, you can store it on USB flash drives to have it with you all the time and open it on the target system without administrative privileges.
The program does not leave entries in your Windows registry so you can get rid of it using a simple deletion task.

User interface

MyDays does not impress much in the visual department. The GUI looks outdated and has to offer only a few configuration settings. A help manual is included in the package and it contains succinct details about the app’s features.

Store entries in your diary

You can add a new entry in the diary by writing a summary of a special event and assigning a name and score. In addition, you can write an entry for another date in the past. The text can be written directly in the main window or pasted from the clipboard.
Other important options worth being mentioned enable you to set up scores for six important events that took place on a certain date and check out a list with all entries in a dedicated panel. Plus, you can make the program show only entries that contain a custom word and filter the results by date.
The tool has not been updated for a while so you can make use of its functions especially on older operating systems like Windows XP, Vista and 7. During our tests the app stopped working several times.

Final words

All things considered, MyDays comes packed with basic features for helping you keep a diary with important events. It needs functionality improvements and support for advanced options to back up data to a file on your computer so you can restore it in case something goes wrong.
