About

BotBook is a journaling app for adult teams that want a verifiable record of who did what and when: college clubs, hobbyist groups, professional collaborations, robotics teams. Capture moments as they happen with text, photos, voice notes, and live transcription, and BotBook stamps each entry with the server-side time so the record holds up under review. KEY FEATURES • Photos, audio, and text in one entry. Take a quick photo of the work, hold the mic to dictate, and the transcript is right there alongside the audio file. • Server-side timestamps. The entry's "when" is set by BotBook's servers in UTC, not your phone, so the timeline can't be back-dated. • 24-hour edit window. Authors can fix typos and re-attach media for a day; after that, entries lock and anyone can comment but not rewrite. • Team roles. Team admins, mentors, journalees, and parents each see a view scoped to what they should be able to do. Admins can promote, demote, or remove members and invite new people via Gmail. • Live transcription. iOS Speech framework runs on-device by default; voice notes upload alongside the transcript. • Audit log. Every create / edit / delete / member change writes an append-only audit row with IP, device, and timestamp, so the team can prove provenance long after the fact. • Built for both phone and iPad. NavigationSplitView sidebar on iPad, hamburger on iPhone, identical features.

What's New in BotBook

1.6.0

September 2, 2026

BotBook has been recomposed from the shell in. The timeline is calmer and easier to read. Entries name their author, say when they were posted once instead of three times, and put the story first. Photos hold their shape while they load, group into a grid when there are several, and open full screen. Voice notes have a real player with play, pause, and a duration you can trust. Reactions show only the ones people actually left, plus one button to add yours. Writing is easier to reach. The floating plus button is gone, replaced by a composer bar along the bottom that reads Add to the timeline, with camera and voice one tap away. It stays clear of the home indicator and moves with the keyboard. iPad and Mac get a real layout. Your groups sit beside the open journal instead of a phone screen stretched across the display. Groups are a fast list again, with your role, members, recent activity, and entry count lined up, and dates that read like dates.
