Continuous Journal View: Seamlessly Review Your Entries
-
Brief Overvie
Day One is a powerful journaling app, but sometimes revisiting past entries feels fragmented, especially when trying to quickly review yesterday’s thoughts or multiple entries in one day. A continuous journal view would offer a smoother, more intuitive way to revisit and add to your entries, enhancing the journaling experience.Feature Request Details:
1. Continuous View Mode:
• Introduce a feature allowing users to view their journal in a continuous scroll format, similar to reading a long document.
• Entries would be visually split by the date, making it easy to identify when each entry was made.
2. Dynamic Splits for Same-Day Entries:
• If multiple entries are made on the same day, include smaller separators within the same date, making each entry distinct while retaining a cohesive flow.
3. Seamless Editing:
• Allow users to edit entries directly within this continuous view, removing the need to navigate back and forth between separate notes.
Why It’s Needed:
For users who like to reflect on recent entries, the current system of opening individual notes can be cumbersome. A continuous view mode would enable:
• Faster navigation through recent thoughts and reflections.
• A streamlined reading experience, fostering deeper engagement with the journal.
• Smoother editing, making Day One even more intuitive and user-friendly.
How It Could Work:
• Users toggle the “Continuous View” option for a journal.
• Entries are displayed in chronological order, automatically separated by dates.
• As new entries are typed, they are split by the current date, with automatic sub-separators for additional same-day entries.
Conclusion:
This feature could significantly enhance Day One’s appeal by bridging the gap between traditional journaling and digital convenience. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Thanks @rpirquetcd88d7f4cc and @staff-reid. I’ve been journaling for many years now, and I feel that Day One is a safer solution compared to using Google Docs.
I definitely prefer a dedicated app for this specific activity. However, I really need to see what I wrote most recently, and navigating through separate notes feels like a real hindrance for me.
