Welcome to Diary!

Diary is a Confluence Cloud app made to save you time and headaches on pages that have grown long and hard to maintain. Whether you are jotting down meeting notes, updating a changelog, or adding new and timestamped information to a page, there is no faster or easier way to do it.

Insert the Diary macro on a page and start writing. Every entry is stamped with the date, the time, and your name — and you add, edit, and delete entries without ever leaving view mode.

Diary runs natively as a Forge app, and it stores every entry in the page itself, so your entries stay searchable, exportable, and recoverable from page history.

📷 Screenshot: diary-hero.png — the hero image. A Confluence page in view mode with a Diary holding three or four entries in Simple style, the new-entry prompt above them, and the page title visible for context. This is the one image most people will see, so make the entries read like a real changelog rather than lorem ipsum.

What you can do

  • Write entries from view mode — no page editor, no reload, no waiting

  • Edit and delete in place — fix a typo right where the entry sits

  • Choose a style — a compact Simple list, or Bubble, which boxes each entry beside its author's avatar

  • Start entries from a template, so every entry in a diary follows the same shape

  • Cap a long diary with a page size and a More button

  • Tune it to your needs with ten macro parameters — the order of entries, where the editor sits, a title, the time format, and more

  • Export to PDF and Word, carrying the entries table and nothing else

  • Read it in English or German, following each reader's own Confluence language
