### What's New in Version 2.10.1 JOURNAL ART THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU Onsen now uses OpenAI's latest image model to illustrate your journal entries. The difference is striking — softer light, richer atmosphere, more deliberate composition. And when you set up your avatar, you can share a few photos of yourself, which Onsen uses as references when illustrating your entries. The person in your art begins to consistently look like you across days, woven into different scenes shaped by what you've written. SHARE PHOTOS WITH YOUR AI GUIDE Bring your world into the conversation. Snap a picture of what's on your mind — handwritten notes, your kitchen, a walk, the sky outside — and share it with your AI guide directly in chat. Tap the "+" button next to the input, attach up to three photos, and send. The photos you share can also help shape the artwork on the journal entry tied to that conversation — your cafe, your dog curled up on the sofa, the sky on a walk — woven into the illustration. A POLISHED CAMERA, INSIDE AND OUT The in-app camera now feels at home on iPhone — pinch-to-zoom that covers the full range smoothly, instant flip between front and back, flash toggle, optional 3×3 grid, and a viewfinder that matches what you'll actually get in the photo. LIQUID GLASS If you're on iOS 26 and a newer iPhone, you'll find Onsen has dressed up in Apple's new Liquid Glass material — translucent, refractive, alive. Header buttons, modals, the speech bar, the photo gallery — all reimagined in the new system look. Older iPhones and iPad keep the gentle frosted blur. Either way, it feels lighter. LISTEN ANYWHERE, EVEN WITH YOUR PHONE LOCKED Tap play on a journal entry or a chat reply, then put your phone away. The audio keeps playing — through your AirPods, in your car, on the speaker. Pause, skip back, or jump forward from your lock screen or Control Center, with the entry's own artwork on the cover. SMARTER, MORE FOCUSED CONVERSATIONS Chat now runs on OpenAI's frontier GPT-5.4 model, with a freshly rewritten prompt and a continuous quality measurement system grading every reply on what matters most — warmth, honesty, focus, care. We measure thousands of conversations against these qualities every week, so the experience keeps getting better. SNAPPIER THROUGHOUT Menus, alerts, and bottom sheets open instantly — we removed half-second pauses that crept in during an earlier update. Tooltips position correctly. The scroll-to-bottom button reliably takes you to the latest message in long chats, every time. A FEW SMALLER UPDATES - "Prefer not to say" is now an option across every profile question. - Updated Terms of Use and Privacy Policy — you'll see a quick prompt to review what changed. - Reliability and polish across journal, chat, and settings. --- Onsen exists to be the most thoughtful companion for your mental wellbeing. This release moves both the conversations and the artwork onto frontier AI, brings photos into the chat, and dresses it all in Apple's newest design language. Thanks for being part of the journey.
