What's New in Day and Night Journal

1.4

August 14, 2026

A fix for iCloud sync, and a way out if it has already stopped If you have ever used "Re-save oversized photos at a smaller size" in Troubleshooting, this is the important update. That button could stop iCloud sync on your device for good, with nothing left in the app to press. It re-saved every oversized photo in one go, and iCloud refuses an upload that large in a way it does not recover from on its own. It now works through them a few at a time, waiting for each upload to finish, and tells you how many are still to come. If your device is already stuck Journal health now offers "Set aside the photos blocking upload". It lifts the photos iCloud will not accept out of the way so the rest of your writing can get through, then puts them back one at a time as uploads recover. The photos stay on your device — nothing is deleted — but the days they belong to will look blank until they return. You will now be told when sync stops The app has always had a "Sync stopped — reopen app" warning, and because of a fault in how it recognised the failure, it had never once appeared. It does now. If you see it, closing the app completely and reopening it really is the fix. It can occasionally show up when sync was only briefly interrupted; it clears itself as soon as anything uploads. Nothing about your journal changes in this update, and there is nothing to set up.

Simple and effective

I’m enjoying this app. It’s simple to use so I can do it everyday. I love the photo each day, thoughtful journaling questions and I love NO ADS! Thanks for creating this and sharing.

Not normally a “journal person”

Daily journaling sounds overwhelming but this app makes it so easy. I look forward to putting in the daily info day and night. I LOVE that you can add your own fields and go back and look at your history and trends in a single category. Permanently a part of my daily habit now. 🩷
