To get access to the new update, you’ll need to be running Day One for iOS version 2025.6 or higher. Coming soon for Android.

The New Journals and More Tabs

As part of this update, we’ve introduced two new tabs—Journals and More—to simplify navigation. The Journals tab keeps all your journals in one place for easy access, while the More tab organizes key features like On This Day, Daily Prompt, and Streaks in one convenient hub.

The New Journals Tab: Organize Your Life in Journals

Your journals are now conveniently located in a dedicated Journals tab. Having multiple journals is a great way to organize different parts of your life, whether you’re journaling for personal reflection, travel, gratitude, work, or creative projects.

The More Tab: Your New Hub for Key Features

Several core features have moved to the More tab for easier access:

• Notifications – Stay informed about journaling activity.
• On This Day – A redesigned experience for revisiting past memories.
• Daily Prompt – Get fresh inspiration every day.
• Add from Photo Library – Quickly import moments into your journal.
• Streaks – Track and maintain your journaling habit.

A Redesigned On This Day Experience

We’ve completely reimagined On This Day, making it even easier to relive your past journal entries. With a larger focus on memory-keeping, this redesigned experience surfaces more of your past moments in a cleaner, more immersive layout. Whether you’re looking back on a milestone or rediscovering small, forgotten moments, On This Day makes it even more rewarding to revisit your journal.

Shuffle the Daily Prompt

Need a different journaling prompt? Now, you can shuffle the Daily Prompt to get a new one instantly. If the first prompt doesn’t resonate, simply tap the shuffle button to explore another idea. This gives you more flexibility and ensures there’s always something inspiring to write about.

A Powerful, 3-Column iPad Experience

This update brings a major improvement for iPad users with a redesigned 3-column layout that makes journaling more intuitive and efficient. With these enhancements, iPad users can enjoy a smoother, more immersive journaling experience, designed to take full advantage of the device’s larger screen, including:

• New Sidebar Navigation – The Journal Management picker is now integrated into the sidebar, making it easier than ever to access and switch between journals.
• Optimized for Multitasking – The expanded layout takes full advantage of the iPad’s screen, allowing for seamless navigation while keeping more of your content visible.
• A More Desktop-Like Experience – The improved structure makes Day One on iPad feel more powerful and organized, bringing it closer to the experience of a full writing workspace.

Where to Find the Former Today View

For now, the previous Today view can now be accessed by tapping any date in the Calendar View within a journal. As we continue refining the More tab and introducing even more ways to streamline your journaling, we’ll be introducing new widgets for your Places and Calendar Events.

Share Your Feedback

These changes mark a major evolution in how you navigate Day One, and we’d love to hear what you think. Your feedback helps us refine and improve the experience for everyone. Share your feedback here.

A Step Toward a More Guided Journaling Experience

These changes pave the way for new features designed to enhance your journaling practice. With a refreshed navigation structure, we’re setting the stage for a more guided journaling experience, coming this summer.

Thank you for being part of the Day One community—we’re excited for what’s ahead!

Drag-and-Drop Functionality

• Reorder your Shared Journals in the sidebar with a simple drag-and-drop action.
• Move or copy entries between journals by dragging and dropping them into the right place.

Entry Move Confirmation

Moving an entry from a private journal to a shared one? A confirmation screen will notify you before finalizing the action, ensuring you stay in control of where your journal entries go.

What’s Not Included (Yet)?

While this update lays the foundation for full shared journaling on Mac, there are still some features in development:

• Creating new Shared Journals – You’ll need to create them on iOS for now.
• Inviting others to Shared Journals – Member management isn’t available on Mac yet.
• Comments and reactions – While you can read entries, commenting and reacting will come in a future update.
• Viewing member information – You can’t see participant details in Shared Journals just yet.
