What's New in Journal Today

2026.10.27

October 27, 2026

• On This Day in the morning: when an earlier year has an entry for today, a note at 9:00 brings it back. • Smarter reminders: the daily reminder stays quiet once today's entry is written, and an optional streak reminder comes two hours later while the day is still unwritten. • "Add to Journal Today" with Siri and Shortcuts: say what happened and it becomes an entry, without opening the app. • Your Year: a new page in Insights with your moods as a year of pixels or as a calendar, the year in review, and a menu of earlier years. • Templates in the editor: three good things, gratitude, a daily reflection, a morning intention, and your own. • Import from Daylio (or any CSV with a date and a text column), moods and activities included. • A "New entry" button for Control Center and on the medium streak widget. (iOS 18 and later)

除了升级会员在云端保存日记,还有其他方法吗?

感觉换台苹果以外的手机日记就全部丢了。 我的ipad和手机登陆了同一个icloud帐号,ipad端打开是一个全新的空白界面,并没有同步更新手机端的日记。
整体还是很好用的,期待得到回复。

Response from developer

谢谢你的好评!日记会通过你自己的 iCloud 自动同步,iPad 和手机登录同一个 iCloud 后打开 App 稍等一会儿就会出现;2026 年 10 月的版本也修了同步的问题。另外,设置 → 数据 里可以备份,或导出成 PDF、TXT,换手机也能带走。还有问题请写信到 support@journaltoday.app。

Want to love it but I’m having so many issues

The app has a lot of nice features. I contacted them after I purchase it initially and they said they were working on adding enhanced fonts (bold etc). However now I’m constantly having to delete it and re-download it. I open an existing entry and it’s blank. I have clicked on contact developer and I get an error. Sadness

Response from developer

I'm sorry, and thank you for sticking with it. The blank-entry bug and the font rendering were fixed in the October 2026 updates, the editor now keeps rich text (colours, sizes, font families), and the contact link works again. If the update puts things right for you, we'd be grateful if you'd revisit your review; it makes a real difference to an independent developer. You can write to support@journaltoday.app any time.

Simple to use but has some major issues

I love this app because it’s such a simple way to keep track of my journal entries on a daily basis. I also like that you can add pictures. However, I have had this app for about three years now and they have yet to fix one major problem. I would say that in about 50% of my general entries, the text turns from white to black…making it nearly impossible to read (my app setting is turned to dark mode). I’m not sure why it does this but it’s very inconvenient and now when I go back to read some of my past journal entries, I cannot see what I wrote. I REALLY hope they fix this!!

Response from developer

Thank you for describing it so clearly: that was the bug. An entry written in light mode kept its black text when shown in dark mode. Version 2026.10.14 fixed it: text now always takes the current appearance's colour, old entries included. If the update puts things right for you, we'd be grateful if you'd revisit your review; it makes a real difference to an independent developer. You can write to support@journaltoday.app any time.

导出pdf有bug,请修复下吧

导出的pdf里面,只有图片,没有文本

Response from developer

谢谢反馈。PDF 导出在 2026 年 10 月重做了,文字和照片都会导出,大量日记时也不会卡住。请更新到最新版本再试;如果还有问题请写信到 support@journaltoday.app。如果更新后问题解决了,希望你能回来更新一下评价,这对独立开发者帮助很大。

A bit buggy

Many times my long entries disappear or changes its font color that I cannot edit it anymore. Sometimes it disappears after attaching an image. Also, the app won't allow me to scroll through my tags, so I always skip tagging my entry. There's no search engine so it's a bummer I cannot even fully utilize the tagging feature. Other than that it's a good app.
