Writing in vertical holds still now. Until this version, in the vertical editor on iPhone, the cursor could stand a whole column away from the words it belonged to, most of all after deleting. A number of two digits could swallow the next thing you typed, so that 12 and then 8 became 18. A number of three digits lay on its side while you wrote it and stood upright once kept, sometimes broken between two columns. And the columns were shorter while writing than while reading, so a sentence of one column became four. Now the cursor is drawn beside your text, where the next character will go. Columns are as long as they are when you read them. Numbers look the same in both places: one or two digits share a single upright cell, three or more stand one by one, and a number is never cut between columns when it fits in one. Keep, on the writing sheet of your home, now opens the entry you saved, the same as the Write tab. A new landscape no longer appears over the words you are writing or editing. It waits until you stop, it arrives once, and it does not come back after you close it. Your home opens in one piece: the blocks no longer arrive on top of each other for a moment. In dark mode, the question of the day no longer flashes red while it loads. ——— Thursday, 15 October 2026 It has rained almost every day this week. I have a full-time job, and Kokoro Nikki lives in the hours around it, in the evenings and on weekends. In the middle of one of those gray days an email arrived from someone who keeps a vertical diary. It went through, one by one, the places where the editor got in the way: the cursor a column away from the words, the number that swallowed the next digit, the column that ended before its time. I made the vertical editor so that a diary in Japanese could be written the way it is read. One person sitting down to use it with care was enough to show me where it was still a draft, and when the hours are few, that is the kind of help that decides what comes first. This version is my answer to that email. Thank you for writing. M
