Some­times you just have to believe in something.

This whole Apple, pay for soft­ware once and expect unlim­ited upgrades doesn’t feel sus­tain­able to me. For a major update, I feel we should pay an upgrade fee.

Day One is a jour­nalling app for iOS and Mac that recently had a huge update. You can read a great review here.

Like Shawn (author of the review), I pur­chased Day One orig­i­nally because it was freak­ing gor­geous. I had no inten­tion of jour­nalling, but I wanted to see where they went with this app.

The new update is astound­ingly beau­ti­ful. You should check it out. But, wait…

I emailed the guys respon­si­ble for Day One, and offered to make a dona­tion since I can’t pay for the upgrade. It’s only fair, they’ve put a ton of work into the new release. In response, they gave me a great idea. They didn’t want a dona­tion. They sug­gested that I give away a few copies instead.

I’m giv­ing away a few copies to some of my read­ers here. For now, the price of the Mac app is the same as the iOS app. So, I’ll give away 4 copies to the first four com­ments below (one copy per com­ment, your choice which plat­form). Leave your email and I’ll be in touch. If the price goes back up, I’ll limit the Mac App to 2 copies.

In return, I’d also like to let you know that I’m writ­ing a book I hope to pub­lish in Spring 2013. It’s an invest­ing blue­print for small investors to help demys­tify invest­ing in the stock mar­ket, to under­stand how to get started with as lit­tle as $250, and mea­sure how well you are doing. If you think you might be inter­ested in what I have to say, please sign up for the mail­ing list after leav­ing a com­ment below (stan­dard privacy/spam caveats apply).
