While Markdown tables are supported across platforms, this update brings a simpler, more visual way to create and edit tables in the Day One web editor.

With just a few clicks, you can:

• Insert a table with your chosen number of rows and columns.
• Edit tables after creation, adding or removing rows and columns, or deleting the table altogether.
• Format information in a structured, easy-to-reference format without needing to remember Markdown syntax.

Why Use Tables in Your Journal?

Tables can give structure to your journal entries when you need more than free-flowing text. They’re especially useful for:

• Travel journals: Track simple expenses while on the road, like meals, transportation, or lodging, without breaking the flow of your story.
• Mood tracking: Note your mood each day alongside factors like sleep, exercise, or social activity to see patterns over time.
• Habit tracking: Record daily routines, workouts, or other habits in a way that’s easy to scan.
• Lists and comparisons: Organize pros and cons, or compare plans vs. outcomes side by side.
• Creative projects: Map out character traits for a story, meal plans for the week, or research notes in a more structured way.

How to Get Started

1. Log in to Day One on the web. You can use the QR code to quickly log in and securely transfer your encryption key from your mobile device.

2. Create a new journal entry or edit an existing entry. In the editor toolbar, click the new Table (grid) icon. You can also use the slash command /table.

3. Choose your table size by selecting the number of columns and rows, then Create Table.

4. Edit the table structure any time. Place your cursor in the table, click the Table icon again to add or delete rows or columns or delete the table.

5. Day One will sync as usual, so your table appears across all your devices.

A Note on Editing Tables Across Devices

We’ve focused on adding and editing tables in Day One for the web first, where the larger screen and keyboard make table creation a smoother, more natural experience. Full support for adding and editing tables will be coming for iOS and Android in the future.

For now, on iOS and Android, tables added on Day One for the web will appear as read-only, so you can view any tables you’ve created or synced. If you’d like to keep writing on mobile, you can still add and edit Markdown tables in your entries.

Import and Export Your Journals

Managing your journal entries across devices just got easier! With the introduction of JSON Import and Export on the web, you now have more flexibility in backing up and restoring your journals. These tools provide you with full control over your journal data, making it easier to transfer, back up, or work with your entries outside the app.

Import Your Journals

Go to Settings → Import and select a .zip file containing your exported Day One JSON data. You’ll see the import progress and can pause it at any time if needed.

Export Your Journals

Navigate to Journal Settings → Export Journal to create a Day One JSON export. If your journal contains media that hasn’t been downloaded locally, you’ll be prompted to download it first. As with importing, you can monitor progress and pause the export process at any time.

Instagram Integration Removed

Meta has discontinued support for the Instagram API integration, and as a result, we’ve removed the functionality to create or edit Instagram connections in Day One. Rest assured, any journals that were previously connected to Instagram remain intact, and all your existing entries are fully preserved.

Enhanced Subscription Management

We’ve added more transparency and control to your subscription details. This makes managing your account easier and helps ensure your subscription details are always clear.

In Settings → Account → Subscription, you can now:

• View the type of subscription you have.
• Check if it’s set to auto-renew and the renewal price.
• See the expiration date.
• Identify and address any duplicate subscriptions.

Additional Improvements and Fixes

We’ve also addressed some smaller issues to improve your overall experience:

• Markdown Fixes: Resolved an issue where the cursor would shift to the beginning of the line when applying inline markdown formatting to checklist items.
• Login Page Update: The default logged-out page has been updated to direct you to the login screen for quicker access.

New Move Option

Within an entry, you can now use the three-dot menu at the top of the entry to select the new Move option. From there, you can select the new destination journal.

Drag & Drop

As an alternative to the Entry menu, we can easily Drag & Drop an Entry to the destination Journal. This will start the same Entry Move action as the Entry menu, making it even faster to move Entries. Simply select the entry you wish to move, and then drag it into the destination journal in the sidebar menu.

Multiple Entry Selection & Bulk Moves

Need to organize several entries at once? With our new multi-select feature, you can choose multiple entries using cmd + click or shift + click for a flexible and efficient way to organize your journal. Once selected, entries can be previewed in the right panel, showing a snapshot of their content along with the date range and total count of selected entries.

When moving multiple entries, a counter will display the number of entries being transferred, and the entries will remain highlighted after the move, ensuring you don’t lose track. This streamlined process allows you to re-categorize large sets of memories quickly and intuitively.

More In This Release

• Fix time missing on entry previews when sort order is not set
• Fixed reference date on search results entry previews
• Ensure entry view is preserved when switching journals
• Fixed alignment on shared entries
