Dayloom Support
Weave your day into memory.
Welcome to Dayloom support. Whether you're capturing your first voice note or browsing back through your Tapestry, this page has you covered. If you can't find what you need below, we're happy to help directly.
Contact us
The fastest way to reach us is by email:
support@dayloom.lifeWe typically reply within 1–2 business days. To help us help you faster, please include:
- Your iPhone model and iOS version (Settings → General → About)
- Your Dayloom version (Dayloom → Settings → About)
- Whether you're using an Apple Watch
- A short description of what happened and what you expected
Getting started
Dayloom turns the moments worth keeping into a private, beautifully woven journal — captured by voice and photo.
- Open Dayloom and grant microphone and speech-recognition access when prompted (this is what lets your voice become text).
- Tap record and start talking. Your voice note — a Murmur — is transcribed right on your device into a readable entry.
- Add a photo to give the moment a face, with your own caption.
- Browse your days in the Tapestry, a calm timeline of everything you've captured.
That's it — no account to create, no setup required. Apple Watch, Siri, and the Action Button are optional ways to capture even faster (see below).
Capturing moments
Dayloom meets you wherever you are. Every method creates the same kind of entry in your journal.
From your iPhone
Open the app and tap the record button. Speak naturally — when you stop, Dayloom transcribes the audio on your device and saves it to today's entry.
From your Apple Watch
With the Dayloom Watch app installed on a paired Apple Watch, you can start a Murmur right from your wrist. The recording transfers automatically to your iPhone, where it's transcribed and saved.
With Siri
You can ask Siri to start a capture using Dayloom's "Capture Murmur" shortcut, then just start talking. You can also add or customize the phrase in the iOS Shortcuts app.
With the Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and newer)
Map the Action Button to Dayloom's "Capture Murmur" shortcut and record straight from your pocket — even while your phone is locked.
- In Dayloom, go to Settings → Action Button for a step-by-step setup guide, or
- Open iOS Settings → Action Button, swipe to Shortcut, choose Capture Murmur.
Browsing, searching, and photos
- The Tapestry — your home timeline. Scroll back through your week, month, and year. Each day is gently tinted with its own weekday color.
- Search — tap the search field in the Tapestry and type any word you spoke or wrote. Dayloom searches your transcribed notes and captions to find the moment instantly.
- Photos (Frames) — add photos to any entry and write your own caption. To edit a caption later, open the entry and tap the photo's caption text.
iCloud sync
Dayloom keeps your journal in sync across your devices automatically using your own private iCloud — there's nothing to turn on.
If your entries aren't appearing on another device:
- Make sure both devices are signed in to the same Apple ID and connected to the internet.
- Check that iCloud Drive is enabled (iOS Settings → your name → iCloud).
- Confirm Dayloom is allowed to use iCloud (iOS Settings → your name → iCloud → Saved to iCloud / Show All).
- Give it a moment — sync runs in the background and may take a little time after a large change.
Your data lives in your private iCloud database. It is never shared with us or anyone else.
Permissions Dayloom uses
Dayloom only asks for what it needs to do its job:
| Permission | Why Dayloom needs it |
|---|---|
| Microphone | To record your voice notes (Murmurs). |
| Speech Recognition | To transcribe your recordings into text on your device. |
| Camera & Photos | To capture and attach photos (Frames) to your entries. |
| iCloud | To privately sync your journal across your devices. |
You can review or change any of these anytime in iOS Settings → Dayloom.
Troubleshooting
My recording wasn't transcribed
- Open iOS Settings → Dayloom and confirm both Microphone and Speech Recognition are enabled.
- Transcription runs on your device and supports the languages your iPhone supports for dictation. The first transcription after install may take a moment while iOS prepares the on-device speech model.
- Very quiet audio or heavy background noise can reduce accuracy — try recording somewhere quieter.
My Apple Watch can't record
- Make sure the Dayloom app is installed on your Apple Watch (open the Watch app on your iPhone → scroll to Dayloom → Install).
- Keep your Watch and iPhone nearby while recording so the audio can transfer.
- If a transfer seems stuck, recording again once your devices reconnect will send it through.
The Action Button isn't recording
- The Action Button is available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
- Confirm it's mapped to Dayloom's "Capture Murmur" shortcut in iOS Settings → Action Button.
- See Dayloom → Settings → Action Button for the full setup walkthrough.
Siri isn't starting a recording
- Open the iOS Shortcuts app and confirm Dayloom's "Capture Murmur" shortcut appears.
- Make sure Siri is enabled for the app and try rephrasing your request.
Something else isn't working
Email us at support@dayloom.life with the details listed at the top of this page and we'll get you sorted.
Privacy
Your memories are yours alone.
- Transcription happens entirely on your device — your voice never goes to a cloud service to be turned into text.
- No ads, no trackers, no selling your data.
- Your journal is stored locally and synced only to your own private iCloud.

Requirements
- iPhone running iOS 17 or later.
- Optional: Apple Watch on watchOS 10 or later for capturing from your wrist.
- Optional: iPhone 15 Pro or newer to capture with the Action Button.
