What's New in Personal Diary (Journal) App

3.0.14

November 27, 2024

- Fixed: The app may crash on launch on certain older OS versions. - Fixed: The 'System' theme option under Themes may occasionally behave like 'Auto'. - Fixed: The 'Auto' theme option under Themes may take forever to reflect screen brightness changes. - Improved: Clarified the behavior of theme options, and that 'Auto' may not work on certain configurations. Other recent updates: - Improved: Loading all entries in a large journal is now up to 4 times faster, with up to 90% reduction in peak memory usage. - Improved: Search now displays a progress indicator, and you may now begin searching even if entries weren't fully loaded (you'll still need to wait for all entries to be loaded to have a complete result). - Improved: The app now automatically reduces its memory usage when your device is running low on memory (e.g., when multitasking with other apps). - Improved: For new entry defaults, automatic inclusion of mood and weather info can now be separately disabled. - Fixed: The app may crash on devices with limited memory when loading a large journal. - Fixed: The app may, in certain rare cases, crash when concurrently processing multiple tasks. - Fixed: The date range picker for journal exports may take an unexpectedly long time to be editable on large journals, even if they were already loaded in the Timeline. - Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts may not work correctly when your last interaction was not in the relevant view. - Fixed: The entry preview when using 3D / Haptic Touch may not show the correct entry while searching. - Fixed: The watchOS app long press menu may occasionally not show up, making certain options inaccessible. - Fixed: The watchOS app may fail to perform auto mood detection. - Misc: Updated app icon, dependencies, descriptions, and links.

Well done

So good I’ve tipped twice.

Awesome app

I’ve been using this app for I think 5+ years. It’s very important to me. I love the emojis and honestly the simplicity. I use it almost every day! Thank you for this app!!!

The best journal/diary app

It’s absolutely perfect for simply writing down your thoughts like a journal.

It has lots of settings so you can adjust the app to how you prefer, for example I removed the weather and emotion icons, so it’s literally just text.

It has no ads, no subscriptions, no annoying or cluttered UI.

I didn’t want to donate, so this felt like the next best thing to do. I absolutely love this app. Thank you for making it.

Decent but annoying

It’s a good to use basic diary, just as I was looking for. It’s spoiled because when you turn off annoying helpers like spelling/double-dash changes (I prefer to get what I type, no more, no less) they automatically return to defaults shortly afterwards.
