  Day One isn’t a priority as an Apple app it seems. Different skillset.

  I know this is a long shot, but I’m a (backend/ML/AI) software engineer. I’d be happy to learn the tooling in order to make contributions to the codebase so that we can have tables again. Let me know! :D

  We’re pleased to inform you that Markdown tables will be restored in the upcoming Day One version 2024.22. This version will be available soon, and we encourage you to keep an eye out for its release.

  Just found that all my tables in DayOne are not plain text, and good to know that you have fixed it! Excellent Eng work!

  If you restored the tables function back in 2024.22, why is it that my old entries with tables in them still show the markdown text and not a table (when they used to show tables)? I am currently using version 2024.25.

  Hi @tachyone!

  While we did bring back the ability to create and view tables in Markdown in version 2024.22, there was an additional step required to see the tables rendered correctly for existing entries.

  Here’s how to enable web previews for tables (and code blocks) in your entries:

  1. Go to your Day One iOS app settings.
  2. Navigate to the “Advanced” section.
  3. Under the “Appearance” subheading, look for a toggle labeled “Show web previews for code blocks.”
  4. Enable this toggle.

  Once you enable this setting, your existing entries with Markdown tables should now render the tables correctly within the app. You can find more information about this update in our guide: https://dayoneapp.com/guides/tips-and-tutorials/markdown-guide/
