## What is Handwriting Journal Planner?

MUJI-IRO is finally on iPhone (version 6).

You like to plan with a pen, but you want your events to match your phone's calendar.
MUJI-IRO brings a handwritten planner and your Apple and Google calendars together in one app. I'm the developer, and I made it for my own daily use.

■ Plan with a pen, add events with a tap
Sketch your plans in Month, Week and Day with Apple Pencil, then add the confirmed events with your finger. They're saved to the Calendar app and Google Calendar too.

■ Write once, see it in Month, Week, Day and Journal
What you write in Month also appears on the same day when you open Week or Day, so you can look back from any view.

■ iPhone on the go, iPad at your desk
Your iPhone and iPad stay in sync through iCloud, so the same planner opens on both. On iPhone, you can write with your finger too.

■ What you can do
• Year, Month, Week, Day, Journal and Memo views
• Scroll continuously across months in Month view
• Daily notes and to-dos
• Recurring Icons that show routines and important dates automatically
• Choose theme colors, fonts, and how weekdays and month names are shown
• On iPad, use it in landscape or portrait

■ Built to stay light
It's tuned to open quickly and stay smooth as you write and scroll. If you want to move your paper planner to digital, I'd be glad if MUJI-IRO helps.

The app now works on iPhone too. Open and write in the same planner you use on iPad.

iPhone
• 3-day, 2-day, Day, Month, Year and Journal views, laid out for the iPhone screen

Fixes

### 5.1.0 — 2026-11-04

This update adds a soft tint for today's column and makes the timeline easier to read.

What's new
• Added Tint for today: Month, Week and Day views now show a soft tint of your theme color in today's column. In Settings > Appearance > Color, switch it to the complementary color, your own color or None, or give the timeline its own color
• Week and Day timelines now open from two hours before the current time
• Events in the Week and Day timelines show their location and time
• Event chips in Month cells and the all-day row now fit up to five Japanese characters per line, and have rounded corners
• In portrait on iPad, the monthly sidebar is shown at the same scale as the main page (it shrinks together with the page on narrower iPads)
• When you start using the app on a new device, it now waits for earlier handwriting and settings from iCloud before opening your planner, and checks sign-in and network status on the first screen
• New users now start with Baskerville in bold as the default font

### 5.0.0 — 2026-10-31

You can now use the app with your iPad held upright. Your handwriting stays the same in portrait and landscape.

What's new
• Portrait support on iPad: Month, Week, Day, Journal, Year and Memo all work in portrait, showing the same handwriting as landscape
• In portrait Month view, the monthly sidebar can be placed anywhere, can sit partly off the edge, and its border can be shown or hidden
• Appearance in Settings is now organized into four tabs: Color, Font, Time Gutter and Sidebar
• Weekday and month labels can each be set to English, Japanese, Korean or German
• The time gutter background can be Blurred or Clear
• In Day view, changing the date slides the page sideways while keeping the previous day's handwriting in view
• Initial setup now fits on one screen, with a sample planner to preview labels and font weight
• You're notified right away when you add an event to a calendar set to be hidden
• Calendar sync settings now include guidance on signing in again
• When you write on the same page on more than one iPad, both sets of handwriting are kept
• Fixed occasional 2–3 second freezes while writing and made the pen more responsive
• Handwriting hidden by an iCloud storage folder issue is now shown again automatically
• Fixed Month view jumping back four months when tapping a disabled Undo or Redo
• Added a button at the top right of the screen for bug reports and feedback

Much of the portrait layout is new, so there may be bugs we haven't caught. If something looks wrong, tell us with the speech bubble button at the top right of the screen.

### 4.5.3 — 2026-10-21

Bug fixes.

Fixes
• Fixed an issue in Week and Day views where tapping the event on the right, when two events overlap in the same time slot, selected the event on the left
• Fixed an issue where lines drawn in the Year calendar could disappear right after drawing and not be saved
• Fixed an issue where handwriting from your other devices could fail to appear while the Month view was open
• Fixed an issue where the last line you drew could be lost if the app closed right after drawing

Coming soon
We are currently working on support for using the app with your iPad in portrait orientation. We will deliver it in an update as soon as it is ready.

If you notice any problems or have suggestions, please let us know through an App Store review or via "Support & Contact" in the app. Your reports help us improve.

### 4.5.2 — 2026-09-27

Bug fixes and more reliable handling of your plan status.

Fixes
• Fixed an issue where the "this week" range you can write in the Journal on the Free plan could differ from the page's week boundaries
• Fixed an issue where the perks for long-time users (14-day trial and special discount) were not applied correctly on devices set to a non-Gregorian calendar, such as the Buddhist calendar
• Fixed an issue where the special discount notice might not appear when it was due at the same time as the update notice
• Fixed an issue where the free trial could be treated as ended by mistake, for example after the device clock was reset

Improvements
• Your plan status (such as the end of the free trial or a purchase) is now reflected as soon as you return to the app. The Highlight Theme switches accordingly
