Themes & Effects

Dress their diary the way they would have loved.

Every diary can wear its own colours, mood and gentle movement: falling roses, soft snow, floating candles, a dove in flight. Try a look on your own diary first, then share it with the family before you decide.

Questions

Good to know

Who will see the theme and effect?

Everyone who visits the diary, on the web and in the app, once you apply it. Until then, only you and the people you share the preview with can see it.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. Every theme and effect can be previewed on your own diary first, at no cost. You only pay when you apply it.

How do I pay?

Themes and effects are paid with DiaryOftheDead coins. You can top up your wallet when you apply one.

Is the diary itself still free?

Yes. Every diary is free and permanent. Themes and effects are optional ways to make it feel more personal.
