### 5/5 — 设计很新颖

*2026-10-03*

很好的设计，真的很好！

### 5/5 — 浅色模式被取消了吗

*2026-09-22*

之前我记得是跟随系统 明明白天模式很好看啊为什么改了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈和建议！批量移动功能我们会认真考虑，谢谢

### 1/5 — Mac用户马上下载支持了 总体很喜欢

*2026-09-22*

很喜欢，终于可以在mac用了 但有一点小问题1.标题依旧没有单独自动加粗功能，老版本的这个我还蛮希望 2、mac上的输入法非常延迟而且会闪退，不好使3.mac上输入中文 标点符号后，会有很大的字符间距，影响美观。

**Developer response:** 感谢你在 Mac 上使用 Tesseract。为进一步了解你提到的情况，请将 macOS 和应用版本、使用的中文输入法及字体名称发送至 goateraction@gmail.com。如果方便，也请附上已遮挡个人内容的截图，帮助我们确认具体情况。

### 1/5 — 很蠢的评论弹窗

*2026-09-18*

我只要一点就出来 点了无数个以后都不管用 ！！n

### 4/5 — 很喜欢 希望多加一些功能

*2026-09-16*

希望进入软件时能直接进入文件夹而不是显示文件夹列表，不如之前好看

希望1.把之前的标题加粗加大改回来，新版本标题内容都是一个格式 没有区分度了 我刚充钱买了咋就这样 2.加上单篇日记导出功能，同时反应主题背景 2.无边记联动只能导入照片，希望其他的歌曲、地点也能联动

### 2/5 — 怎么找回日记

*2026-08-24*

重新下回来之后笔记都不见了，iCloud是开着的

**Developer response:** 很抱歉给您带来不便。请更新到最新版本后重新安装试试看

### 1/5 — 逼迫订阅，自己的记录无法查看

*2026-08-22*

突然升级，不提前给任何提醒，改订阅制之后自己之前所有的日记都不能看被强制锁定，不订阅连基础功能都完全无法使用，是否有些流氓了？绑架用户记录来逼迫订阅真的很败好感。

### 1/5 — iPad端新版本失去了华丽的动效

*2026-08-21*

我始终认为好的美学设计也是构成该软件体验的重要组成部分，新版本砍掉旧版本的华丽动效，变成了类似便利贴的形式。让我略感苦恼。 另外 ，最新版本依然没有lifetime 订阅的入口。只有一个月和一年的选项。如果该软件不再提供该选项，就不要在简介添加所谓“lifetime”的订阅资费提示，纯把人骗进来杀。

### 5/5 — 开发者

*2026-08-21*

您好，可以开发手写功能吗？用来当读书笔记的时候想记录一些东西

### 5/5 — 打开文件夹展示，为什么不可以模块只有列表了，没有原来好看

*2026-08-18*

实用性和体验感非常棒

**Developer response:** 你好！感谢使用 Tesseract。
感谢您提供宝贵的反馈。
我们会持续更新，让您能够珍藏美好回忆。 😄
