    I am tempted to update to test out the journal app.

    Wonder if it will be able to import journal entries from other apps.

    Apple has the potential of creating a fuller detailing experience, but it probably won’t be there just yet.

      I’ve been waiting for the Journal app to be released since they announced it. I’ve never used any third-party apps because they’re either ad-filled, or I don’t trust them with my data.

        I also don’t like ad-filled apps, that is why I normally buy my apps.

        I have used Diaro before and it was quite good. It could save your entries in iCloud or Dropbox and have apps for almost all platforms. I have also heard good things about Day One.

        I played with the app for a bit and I think it is good enough to start with. If you don’t have the baggage of trying to import from a different app I think it should be good to go from the get go.

        I would have liked it if it could have shown my memories on a map and I could go look at my entries at a specific place etc. It currently only filters on if things are there. Not on the details of what is inside of those things.

        But I think it is a good place to start from regardless. And the ability to share things directly with the journal is quite nice. I have already done it with some of the memories generated with the photos app, so I would assume anything can be shared with it.

        Yes, it is very minimal.

        I can’t get my workouts in there yet. It is all just put on a stack that can be sorted by time. And you can filter if it has some type of attachments.

        You also can’t have different journals for different things as far as I can see.

        And yes, this should be an easy port to macOS and iPadOS. Would be nice if you can put in hand written notes.
