How do I go to today’s entries quickly?

  I use the iOS and Mac apps, with the Calendar view.

  How do I quickly/simply jump to today’s “stuff”? I have the Calendar view in front of me and I have to ask myself “is today the 21st? Is that the day I want to click on?” every time I go to add something to today’s entries.

  I’m stunned the Calendar view doesn’t highlight today’s date. I’m stunned there is no shortcut key or button to not only jump to today’s date, but open it as if I’d selected it on the Calendar view.

  I don’t want to use “on this day”. That shows me all this other stuff I’m not interested in. I just want a simple way to go to “today”.

  Here’s what currently works on each platform:

  On iOS:

  1. Open Day One and tap the Calendar tab
  2. If you’ve scrolled away from today, tap the Calendar tab a second time — this snaps back to the current date
  3. Tap today’s date (which is highlighted) to open your entries

  On macOS:

  1. Click Today in the left sidebar — this opens the Today view directly with all of today’s entries
  2. Alternatively, click on any journal and use Cmd+4 to switch to Calendar view, then click today’s date in the grid
  3. If you’ve scrolled away from today, click Cmd+4 a second time — this snaps back to the current date

  Frank,

  thanks for your response.
  

  what’s interesting is I got an email from support and they didn’t mention the iOS thing you mentioned. I’ll keep trying that; there’s been times where it hasn’t worked consistently.
  

  For Mac, the problem is that clicking “today” doesn’t take me to the same view that I get to when I click a specific date on the calendar.
  

  Ultimately, what would be amazing is for Day One to remember exactly where I left off: what entry I had open, where exactly my cursor was. I add to my entry dozens of times per day and having to click the entry and scroll to the bottom and start editing slows me down significantly. Sometimes the app remembers, sometimes it doesn’t.

  oh also on Mac the current date is not highlighted (just put a circle around it or something :)
