Day One Journal App Updated With New Editor, Dark Mode, Audio Recording, More

The Day One Journal app for iOS has been updated with a new editor, dark mode, audio recording and more.

From once-in-a-lifetime events to everyday moments, Day One’s elegant interface makes journaling about your life a simple pleasure.




What's New In This Version:
Version 3 is here! A new editor designed and built from the ground up for a superior writing experience. New features for Premium members: Dark Mode and Audio Recording!

New Editor:
• To Edit an entry, simply tap into the spot you want the cursor!
• 'Done' button dismisses the entry (along with swipe to dismiss).
• Editor Menu: Tap on the 'Aa' icon to replace the keyboard with entry formatting markup options, Headers, Bold, Italic, Lists, Quote Block, Code Block, Rule Line, and indents.
• Markdown support continues without all the markup, with auto converting Headers, Lists, Bold, and Italic into rich text.
• Dynamic Code Blocks: Advanced Markdown like tables and HTML are now supported via the new toggle-able Code Block. Existing content is auto-detected and wrapped in a code block, which includes a toggle button for Edit/Code view and HTML rendered view. The state of the toggle is saved to the entry, so it remembers if you want to view the code, or the rendered web view.
• Entry Content Menu: Tap on the paperclip icon for adding Photos, Camera, Audio, Tags, as well as entry metadata actions.
• Photo Groups. Photos added together now create a basic dynamic collection grid. Long press on a photo for additional options. (Photo organization is coming)
• Check Lists! Now interact with check lists in Read or Edit mode, and see a summary in the Timeline and Entry views like: "4 / 8".
• Entry Metadata view now opens via swipe up gesture or drag up at end of entry.

Dark Mode: (Premium)
• Auto toggle based on local sunset times.

Audio Recording: (Premium)
• 1-Minute Transcription Mode uses Apple’s Speech dictation service. Transcription is auto-added to the entry after recording ends.
• 30-Minute Audio-Only Mode.
• Long-press on audio record button for option to select recording mode. Default setting in Settings > Advanced.
• Import audio clips via share extension, or paste from clipboard (from Voice Memos, Voicemail, and more).


Other Updates:
• Tab Bar Plus button now opens a new entry directly, long press for additional New Entry options
• Activity Feed is now linked in the Journal Drawer
• Performance improvements.

You can download Day One Journal from the App Store for free.
