Fun ways to write a secret diary

A secret diary does not have to be plain sentences. Try these fun formats to make your pages feel extra secret.

• Secret code. Swap each letter for the next one in the alphabet, so CAT becomes DBU. Write the key on a page only you know about.
• Code names. Give people nicknames. Your crush can be Blue Sneakers and your best friend can be Captain.
• A letter. Start with Dear secret diary, or write to someone you cannot talk to right now.
• A tiny poem. Three short lines about your day, like a haiku.
• A top five list. Top five moments, top five songs, top five wishes.
• A comic in words. Describe your day as if each part were a comic panel.

Keeping a paper secret diary hidden

Some people love both: a paper diary for doodles and this online diary for quick secrets. If you keep a paper one, a book cover from another book makes it look ordinary on a shelf. A fake diary with boring entries on your desk is a fun way to fool a nosy brother or sister.

What a secret diary entry looks like

See how it is short, happy and honest? That is all a secret diary needs. For more, look at diary entry examples.

Keeping your secret diary safe

• Your pages stay on this device. They are saved in this browser, not on our computers. We cannot read them.
• No sign up. You never need an email or a password to use it.
• Use the same device. Pages you write on a tablet will not show up on a computer. There is no syncing.
• Do not use a private or incognito window. Pages written there disappear when it closes.
• Tap Lock when you are done. Then the diary needs your PIN.
• Keep a copy. Tap Print and choose Save as PDF to save your favorite pages.
• Delete a page. Tap My pages, then Delete next to the page. Once you confirm, it is gone for good.
• Forgot your PIN? Nobody can reset it. Clearing this site's data in the browser removes the PIN, but it removes all your pages too.
