Carry on writing: from your phone to a computer

One Line guide · Two places, one piece of writing

Where you jot something down and where you write it out are different places. The thought arrives while you are walking; the sorting happens at a keyboard. Nothing should have to be retyped in between.

A browser is all you need

Open oneline.date/v2 on your computer and sign in with the same account as your phone. Nothing to install, no export and re-import. The line you wrote on your phone is there, and what you change on the web shows up on the phone.

What the web is better at

Long writing. Open the line you jotted and let it grow into paragraphs. Saving takes care of itself, and when a save cannot go through, the screen says so and says where your writing is.
Photos and files. Drop them anywhere in the window. Every account gets 5 GB free; past that, what is already uploaded stays and only new files are blocked.
A calendar. Month, week or list, and you can drag a to-do to another day. Arrow keys move between dates.
Search. ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) finds everything from anywhere.

Try first, sign in later

You can write on the web before making an account. What you write stays in that browser and moves to your account the moment you sign in — nothing written beforehand is lost.

Taking it with you is not blocked

Under Settings → Data you can download everything as JSON, or as a zip where each note is its own Markdown file — ready to drop into Obsidian, Bear or anywhere else. Holding someone's writing hostage is not a feature.
