DB Diary - Police Diary

DB Diary is an independent app. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official product of any police force, government department or public authority, and it does not represent the Government of India or any government entity.

DB Diary is a private daily diary built for the way police officers actually work.

Record every duty of your shift in seconds, then read the day back as a log book: from this time to this time, this is what I did.

Everything stays on your own phone. No account, no sign-up, no server.

LOG BOOK VIEW
See your shift as a timeline across twenty duty types - 08:00 to 12:00 bandobast, 12:30 to 15:00 investigation. Unlogged gaps are shown so nothing is missed, with a running total of hours.

SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING
Dictate an entry in Hindi, Marathi or English. Writing up a shift should take a minute, not twenty.

CASE / FIR LOG
Keep FIR number, sections, complainant, accused, investigating officer, status and next hearing date in one place. Every entry you link to a case builds its timeline.

GENERAL DIARY (GD)
A numbered register for your own records. Serials restart at 1 each year and are never reused. Eleven categories cover complaints, information, missing persons, accidents, arrivals, charge handover and more - each with details, persons involved and action taken.

STATION ACTIVITIES
Patrolling, checking, night rounds, bandobast, raids, traffic and VIP duty in one view, with counts and hours per type.

DOCUMENT AND MEDIA
Attach photographs and files - PDFs, scans, reports - to any entry. The media library lists everything in one place, linked back to its entry.

TASKS AND REMINDERS
Never miss a hearing, a summons to serve or a follow-up. Reminders survive a restart.

DUTY REPORT AS PDF
Export any period as a PDF headed with your name, rank, buckle number and police station. Share it by WhatsApp, email or Drive.

THREE LANGUAGES
Full Hindi, Marathi and English interface - switch any time.

LAW QUICK REFERENCE
An offline index of commonly used section numbers of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, alongside their repealed IPC and CrPC numbers. Search 302 and find BNS 103. This is a summarised convenience index, not the text of the Act and not an official government publication.

SOURCE OF LEGAL INFORMATION
The section numbers and titles are summarised from the Acts published by the Government of India - Ministry of Home Affairs and the India Code portal. The same links appear inside the app on the Law Reference screen:

LOCKED AND PRIVATE
Protect the diary with a 4-digit PIN or your fingerprint. The database sits in private app storage, automatic cloud backup is off, and your own backups are encrypted with a passphrase only you know.

PRIVACY
DB Diary collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no server. Your diary never leaves your phone unless you export it.

Note: dictation uses your device's own speech recognition service, which may process audio on its provider's servers depending on your phone settings. Type instead if you would rather no audio leaves the device.
