What's New in Jotting Journal
1.3.0
August 8, 2026
Corrects in-app help that contradicted a feature already shipping, and adds the backup nudge. ~330 characters. The app now reminds you to save a backup once there is real writing to lose. Help inside the app said a backup could not be loaded back in. That was out of date: it can, from Settings, and the answers about forgotten PINs and moving to a new phone now say so.
