Browse entries

There are two ways to browse your journal entries: use the List/Calendar control at the bottom of the view to switch between the List and Calendar modes.

List

Newer entries appear at the top of the list. Scroll down to see earlier entries.

Calendar

If a calendar date is highlighted, that means there's an entry on that date. The highlight color reflects the emotion you assigned to that entry.

• Select a date to see the entry for that date. 
• Select an empty date to create a new entry for that date.
• Click the date in the bar above the calendar to jump to One Month Ago, One Year Ago, Two Years Ago, etc.

Create an entry

Click  to create a new entry for today’s date. To create an entry for a different date, select that date in the calendar view.

2. iPhone, iPad: scroll to the top of the entry list until you see the search field.
