With the DiaryMessenger, we have created something really unique. For the first time, messenger and diary are united in one app, offering you an extraordinary experience.

The messenger

Use the messenger to start a conversation with up to six people, sending not only text messages but also pictures, YouTube videos and music. You want to share a great moment with your best friend? You are travelling and want to share your pictures with your family? Send someone a thought: Use the messenger to stay in touch with important people and share your most beautiful moments with your friends and family.

The diary

Write diaries for different occasions and experiences. Whether family gathering, wedding of your best friend, journey to Thailand or your personal thoughts. Create new diary entries using pictures, text, YouTube videos and music or add a message from one of your chats.

With the DiaryMessenger you can create many different diaries and share them with your contacts. Together with friends and family you can leaf through your memories and remember the most beautiful moments of your life.

We call pictures, text messages, videos and music our users send each other, thoughts. Every conversation starts with a thought. The thought of a certain moment or memory connects us with our friends and family. You hear a song and remember the concert you visited with your friend? You walk through the park and think about the last family picnic? You sit cozily on your couch and think about your last vacation? Share your thought and start a conversation with the DiaryMessenger from Thought of You.

Thought of You attaches great importance to the safety of your data. For more information, have a look at our privacy statement.
