Time for an update! A number of new features have been percolating since last fall, and are ready to serve! First, we now support time zones! No more wondering when an entry was actually written, as you hop about the globe. Next up is another new way to view your entry list with a beautiful new calendar view to remind you how amazing you are at reliably writing in your journal! And last, but by certainly no means least... Generic attachments! Attach almost any file to an entry, and view it using QuickLook. (package files not supported unfortunately) Properly fixed FaceID this time

Announcing QuickEntry Annals 1.2 brings a great new feature for making entries quickly. With QuickEntry there is no need to unlock a shelf to make an entry. QuickEntry is powered by public/private key encryption, once an entry is made it is encrypted with a public key, and when a shelf is unlocked, it is decrypted with the private key, and re-encrypted using the shelf master key. QuickEntry can be enabled on a per shelf basis, and each device has a global toggle for quick entry on that device. Annals 1.2 also fixes a number of bugs and improves some things too. Drop support for images on entry text field. A completely rewritten color picker for entry formatter. Gone is the finicky slider, replaced with a simplified control that lets you pick from an assortment of colors and black and white shades, as well as a shiny full featured RGB and HSB picker. Fixed a number of bugs in state restoration Improved user feedback in various places should errors occur
