A New Way to Navigate Day One: Inside the Latest Update with Paul Mayne

In this episode, we sit down with Day One founder Paul Mayne to walk through the newly redesigned navigation.

Now live in version 2025.6 for iOS, our latest update for iOS brings a major redesign to Day One’s navigation, making it easier to manage journals and revisit past memories. (To see the full walkthrough, watch this episode on YouTube.) Paul shares the thinking behind the update, a full demo of the new journal picker and tab layout, and a look at the redesigned “More” tab with refreshed features like On This Day, Daily Prompts, and Streaks.

We also reveal what’s coming next—including a more guided journaling experience—and share highlights from other recent platform updates, like the launch of Day One for Windows, Shared Journals for Mac (in beta), and a cleaner template gallery on Android.

Stick around for this episode’s journaling challenge—it’s inspired by a simple question we recently asked strangers on the street.
