📖 Core Guide
Managing Your Journal
The Journal tab is where all your entries live. Browse, filter, switch views, edit, and delete — everything you need to manage your writing over time.
📄 The journal list view
Tap the Journal tab to see all your entries. They are grouped by month, with the most recent month at the top. Each entry card shows:
- The date and time the entry was written
- Your mood emoji for that entry (if selected)
- A preview of the first line of the entry
- The journal it belongs to (if you use multiple journals)
- A photo thumbnail if photos were attached
Tap any entry card to open and read the full entry.
📅 List view vs. Calendar view
In the top-right of the Journal screen you will find a toggle to switch between List and Calendar views.
- List view — A chronological feed of all entries grouped by month. Ideal for reading and browsing recent writing.
- Calendar view — A monthly calendar grid where each day with an entry shows a small dot. Tap any date to open a panel showing all entries written on that day. Great for finding entries by date or checking your writing consistency.
Multiple entries on one day. In Calendar view, tapping a date with multiple entries shows a scrollable panel with all of them — helpful if you write more than once a day.
🔍 Filtering by journal
If you have created multiple journals (for example, a personal journal and a work journal), pill-shaped filter buttons appear at the top of the journal list. Tap a pill to show only entries from that journal. Tap All to show everything.
✏️ Editing an existing entry
- 1Tap an entry card to open it in the detail view.
- 2Tap the Edit button in the top-right corner to enter edit mode.
- 3Make your changes. The mood selector and toolbar are available just as when writing a new entry.
- 4Tap Save to keep your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
Sharing an entry. While viewing an entry (not editing), tap the share icon in the top-right to share the text via iOS share sheet — send it to Notes, Mail, or copy it to the clipboard.
🗑️ Deleting an entry
- 1Open the entry you want to delete.
- 2Tap the trash icon (delete button) in the top-right corner.
- 3Confirm deletion in the prompt that appears. This action cannot be undone.
Deletion is permanent. Once an entry is deleted, it is removed from the server and cannot be recovered. If you want to keep a copy, export your data first (Settings → Export My Data).
