Why bother
A video diary captures your voice, face and mood in a way written notes don’t. Watching back months later can show how far you’ve come.
Make it a habit
- Same time each day, such as after dinner.
- Same spot, so setup is instant.
- A prompt if you’re stuck: what was hard today, what was good, what’s next.
Keep it private
Put diary clips in a separate album. On iPhone, the Hidden album can be locked with Face ID (Settings › Photos). If you use iCloud Photos, your diary syncs there too, so protect your Apple Account with a strong password and two-factor authentication.
Don’t edit
Editing turns a diary into content. Leave it raw.
