What’s new in Daykept

1.7 — Look back on your whole journey (coming soon)

• Notebook Timeline — see a notebook as one continuous journey, jump to any month, and scroll back to the top in one tap. The list view stays exactly as it was. Premium · free during early access.
• Cycle tracking on your calendar — mark period days with one tap, right on the mood calendar. Once you have a couple of cycles, Report shows how your mood moves with your cycle (Premium · free during early access).
• Template gallery — 47 templates by theme: 14 free, including every template for hard emotions, and 33 more (Premium · free during early access).
• Background patterns — new patterns drawn by the app itself, crisp on every screen.

Removed: relax sounds, to keep Daykept focused on writing, and the photo backgrounds, which the new patterns replace.

1.6 — A new home, and sync you can trust

• Redesigned home with a cleaner bottom bar and one consistent "write" button everywhere.

• Sync, rebuilt — pauses and resumes with your connection, retries uploads safely, and keeps snapshots so you can restore an earlier state.
• New onboarding and a refreshed template gallery with featured picks in your language.

1.5 — Throwback: on this day

Your journal now looks back at you. Throwback shows what you wrote on this day in previous years — a small reason to keep writing today, because today becomes next year's memory.

• Throwback badge in More when there's something new to read
• Quicker access to options from the side menu

1.4 — Home screen widget

• Widget — start an entry straight from your home screen and keep an eye on your streak. On Android and iOS.
• Pick your feeling while editing — change the mood of an entry without leaving the editor.
• Start from a prompt — open a new entry with the day's prompt already in place.
• Smoother notebook picker, and floating buttons that adapt to phones and tablets.

1.3 — A home that shows your progress

• Stats on Home — words written this year and your last 7 days at a glance, with a shortcut to the full report.

1.1 — A templates storefront

The template gallery now feels like browsing a curated shelf: a featured rail, quick filters and sticky search.

• Export and import your own templates as a file — back them up or share them with a friend
• Recently used templates, so your favourites are one tap away
• Older templates are upgraded in the background — nothing lost, nothing to do

1.0 — Templates: write with structure

Never stare at a blank page again. Build a writing structure once — a gratitude check-in, a weekly review, a creative prompt — and reuse it forever.

• A template gallery organised by category
• Create your own templates with the full editor
• Tags and per-template settings
• Drag to reorder, archive the ones you don't use

Templates complete what Daykept set out to be: a journal that helps you write, not just stores text.

0.8 — Period calendar

Cycle tracking arrived inside Daykept: mark period days with one tap, see your history across months, and jump from any date straight into writing about that day.

In 1.7 this became part of the main calendar — see September 2026.

0.7 — Your journaling, by the numbers

A Report page that shows your habits honestly, with no guilt attached.

• Writing frequency as a year-long heatmap
• Total entries and words
• Which tags you write about most
• Entries per month, to spot gaps and bursts

0.6 — Search that actually works

Search was rebuilt on full-text indexing: instant, and it looks through everything you've written, not just titles.

• Combine text with year, month, tag, starred and more
• Tag chips in the filter panel
• Find every entry written from a given template
• Your last tag filter is remembered

Existing entries are re-indexed quietly in the background the first time you open search.

0.5 — Voice journal

Sometimes words come faster out loud. Record voice notes right inside any entry — they sit alongside your writing, with a live waveform while you record and playback anywhere in the story.

0.4 — Notebooks

Group entries into notebooks — a travel journal, a work log, a private stream — and switch between them without friction. Give each notebook its own color so you can tell them apart at a glance. You never have to pick a notebook before writing: unassigned entries simply live in your main timeline.

0.2 — Tags, properly

• Colors for tags, so they stand out in the timeline
• As many tags per entry as you like
• A Tags page with entry counts and one-tap filtering
• Suggestions while you type, so you don't create duplicates
• Tag several entries at once

0.1 — Hello, world 🌱

Daykept is out on Google Play and the App Store: a calm journal with no ads and no account needed to start writing.

• Timeline journaling with a rich text editor and multi-page entries
• Tags and starred entries
• Dark and light themes — because some of us write at 2am
