Day One has importing options on iOS, macOS, Android. While the importer is not specific to any particular source, we try our best to get your data imported as separate entries. The data in the file you are importing must match what Day One expects. Because of the different export options from other sources, you may have to manually edit the file before importing to Day One.

Please see this guide for importing into Day One on Android.
