What's New in Ori

0.9.5

September 9, 2026

Your journal can come back now. A locked copy with Ori. Turn it on and your journal is locked on this phone before it leaves, so a recovery code can bring it back on a new one. Off by default, and deleted the moment you turn it off. Cycle and change speaks to where you actually are. Different words if you have a regular month, if you are trying, or if you are in the change. Every claim was checked against the research, and the four we had wrong have been corrected. Settings remembers where you were. Come back from a screen and you land on the row you tapped, not at the top of everything. Export and privacy now names everything that leaves this phone to write your letter, including the notes you gave your ring. Patterns leads with what already has a reading, and what can sit empty waits below.

Unwinding

This really is a wonderful tool to help yourself unwind from stress and take note of how you’re blessed. I love it!

Making good habits

Personally, I've never been a journal person.
But Ori has shown me sides of my own data that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
What surprised me most is this: when I speak, I seem to understand myself differently than when I try to write.
There's something about saying things out loud - and then seeing the patterns between my words and my own data - that makes things click.
Maybe I'm still not a journal person.
Maybe I just needed a different way to journal.
