What Day One does well
Day One has been around since 2011 and is one of the most polished journaling apps there is. Prompts, templates, multiple journals, Share Cards, PDF export and printed books make it a strong home for everything you write.
It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision, Android, Windows and the web. Map View shows where each entry was written, and Location History on iOS records places you visit even without an entry. If you already journal daily, folding your trips into Day One is reasonable.
Where Voyy pulls ahead
Voyy is built for one job: tracking where you have been. You get a world map of visited countries, city tracking and a flight log in the free tier. Add a flight by number and Voyy fills in the route, then counts your airports, airlines and distance.
Voyy can rebuild your travel history from the photos already in your library, so you do not have to write entries to get a map. With Premium, it goes down to regions and provinces in 44 countries and computes stats a journal cannot: days abroad, longest trip, explorer type, and more.
Trips are pages with cities, flights, saved places, notes and a Spotify song or playlist. The flag calendar turns your year into a grid of flags, shared as a yearly or monthly card.

Who Day One is for
Day One is the better pick for journaling your whole life, writing long entries, printing books, or using one app across iPhone, Mac, Android and Windows.
Who Voyy is for
Voyy fits iPhone travelers who want a map of the countries, cities and regions they have visited, a flight log, and trips rebuilt from their photos — without keeping a daily journal.
Verdict
Use Day One to journal. Use Voyy to track and look back on your travels — the visited-countries map, travel stats, flight log and flag calendar are things a journal does not do.
