Open the free reader
Keep the original export. The reader opens files locally. A separate signed-in import lets you select your own text and confirm each entry’s date.

Available in the free core. One reviewed entry at a time. No automatic date or author detection, ZIP import, photos or audio.

This guide concerns the Rosebud journaling app at rosebud.app. Dayora publishes it independently and is not affiliated with Rosebud.

Keep a copy of your Rosebud export

Use Rosebud’s export option in Settings, or export one entry from its menu. Rosebud documents Markdown export. If you receive a ZIP, extract it first and keep the original.

You can inspect the files in a text editor or in Dayora’s account-free local reader.

Try both examples. Dayora’s free core responds to new entries with a reflection and, when there is enough to work with, a small next step. You can start with one sentence.

Your entry
I said yes to another project. Now I am annoyed with myself, even though nobody pressured me.
Dayora noticed

You noticed your limit after agreeing. The frustration may be pointing to something you wanted to protect.

One small thing

Before your next yes, give yourself permission to say, “Let me check.”

A shortened example of an entry and its reflection. Choose either sample to see the response change. Real reflections depend on what you write.

Review one entry at a time

In Dayora, open Import from ChatGPT in Profile, then choose Import selected Rosebud writing. Open a Markdown or text file, select your own writing and copy it into the entry box. You can also paste text.

Leave out AI responses, prompts and other people’s words. If a file contains several entries, select one entry at a time. No software guesses where your words end and an AI reply begins.

Choose the original date and save

Choose the date you wrote the entry and confirm that the text is yours. Dayora files it on that day in your account timezone. It records the import time separately.

The original time of day, photos, audio and Rosebud’s AI replies are not preserved. Repeating the same text on the same date skips the duplicate. Imported entries do not receive automatic reflections.

What is sent to Dayora

Opening the file reads it on your device. Only the text and date you choose are sent when you press Import this entry. The rest of the file stays out of the import request.

Once saved, the entry is part of your Dayora journal. Journal AI features can process it under Dayora’s data policy, including the OpenAI data-sharing agreement that may allow training. Keep your original export as your complete backup.

Questions and answers

Can Dayora import my whole Rosebud ZIP automatically?

No. Extract the archive first. This flow imports selected writing one entry at a time after you choose the text and confirm its date.

Will an AI reply be mistaken for my entry?

The importer does not automatically classify authors. You select your own writing and confirm it before saving. Leave prompts and AI replies out of the entry box.

Are the original dates preserved?

You choose each entry’s original calendar date. Dayora files it on that day in your account timezone; it does not recover an original timestamp automatically.

Is import free?

Yes. Guided Rosebud text import is available in the free core. Your original export remains the complete backup.
