MySamantha vs Diarium
Diarium is a data-rich digital diary. MySamantha is a personal workspace that includes your journal.
Diarium stands out for detailed entries and automatic imports from the services you use, especially on Windows. MySamantha takes a workspace approach: journaling beside Notes, Tasks, Email and Calendar, with Samantha as an optional assistant.

The architectural difference
Diarium enriches a standalone diary with data pulled from other services. MySamantha connects the journal to the rest of your workspace directly, so context comes from the same product.
A private journal, not a training set.
Write or speak, attach photographs, look back by day. Samantha only reads a journal entry when you ask her to.
