## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.08 — 2026-08-15

Voice to text is better for longer reflections. Your words now appear in the journal as you speak, with a progress bar so you can see how close you are to the daily limit. While you’re speaking, Joura stays awake so the recording doesn’t stop if your screen would have dimmed. Speak naturally — your entire message will be captured.

### 1.07 — 2026-08-14

Voice to text is more reliable for longer reflections. While you’re speaking, Joura stays awake so the recording doesn’t stop if your phone would have gone to sleep. Speak naturally — your entire message will be captured.

At the start of each month, get a gentle reminder to download last month’s journal as a PDF.
