  Just noticed this today. New entries are showing 00:00 and today’s date, ie. Midnight last night. I have to manually change it each time or to click on the “update to current date/time” link.
  
  This is for DayOne for Mac.

  Thanks.

  Hi there, @marts57

  I was able to replicate this behaviour. I am checking with our team about this and if they agree this needs to adjusted, we will look into having this behaviour changed in the future.

  Hi @marts57,

  Can you explain your workflow a bit more and how you’re creating entries within Day One?

  This is in Dayone for Mac just to be clear.
  I’ll click on the “+” button on the top right to add a new entry.
  It will then display the time as 00:00 and today’s date in the header.
  
  I then add text or whatever, then click on the date/time at the top of the new entry and select “set to current date/time”.
  
  However, and this is the odd bit, my first entry of the day will have the current time/date. Subsequent ones are at 00:00.
  
  If I could post an image or even a video I’d so so but it looks like I don’t have the option to do that.
  
  Thanks

  Martin

  Hi Martin,

  You can upload a short recording showing the steps you take to a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, and then share the link here.

  Sorry, don’t use any of those services.

  Anyway, what will a video show other than what I’m describing here in this thread? Click on the + button to add a new entry and it shows the current time at 00:00
  
  Please note, this is Dayone for Mac.
  
  Screen shot below.

  Hi @marts57 – Thanks, it looks like this is indeed a bug. We’ve reported this to our developers so they can work on a fix, and we’ll post an update here when we have one.

  Thanks again for reporting this!

  More info. I just noticed that the bug is happening if I make an entry with the right pane showing today’s entries. But if the right pane is blank (that is, no day selected to view and only displays the name of the journal) then a new entry comes up with the correct time.

  Hope that this makes sense. I’d post screen shots but too much private info would be displayed.

  Thanks @marts57 – I’ve added that to the bug report.
