A timer you can run from the home screen Any timer prompt now has a home screen widget with Start and Stop, plus Reset and the week's total on the larger size. It keeps counting without opening the app, and a run left going overnight is banked against the right day. Your streak, a goal and a running timer on the Lock Screen The streak, goal and timer widgets now come in Lock Screen sizes. They're read-only there — tap one and it opens the app. A gentler first day First run now asks how much journal you want: just the essentials, a balanced day, or the full picture. "A balanced day" is exactly the set the app has always started with, so nothing changes unless you choose otherwise — and you can add or retire prompts at any time in Edit my questions. You can speak instead of typing A one-time tip pointing out the microphone already on your keyboard. The printable book works again The PDF book was saving as a file nothing could open, and a photo-heavy journal could run out of memory part-way through. Both fixed. Opening the date range no longer crashes on a journal that contains an oddly dated day. Photos are safer On an account with more than one device, a photo still waiting to sync could be deleted instead of saved. That is fixed. "Delete everything" now clears waiting photos off the disk as well, instead of leaving them behind. Easier to read, easier to tap The app now holds its light palette in Dark Mode, so the sleep and reminder time pickers are legible again instead of near-white on near-white. The to-do widget's checkbox has a full-size tap target, so a near miss no longer yanks you out of the home screen. The first-run screens scroll, so nothing is silently cut off at large text sizes.
