Design Philosophy
Dawnary follows the core philosophy of "quick recording" and "instant healing," providing users who prefer minimalism with the lowest psychological threshold for text recording.
more Companion Letters now handle custom letter ranges more consistently. The focus setting is back in Companion settings, letters use the correct diary window instead of a fixed recent range, and pending companion-decided letters are less likely to get stuck. The letter panel also shows your companion more clearly while a letter is waiting, generating, or ready.
1.0.40 2d ago
Companion Letters are now more flexible and persistent. You can choose when letters arrive, let your companion decide when a new letter is worth writing, and revisit past letters from the archive. Companion impressions, personal information, and memory can also stay in sync across your devices with iCloud. This update also adds weekday labels to the review calendar, improves Search back gestures, and includes iOS stability improvements.
1.0.39 4d ago
iCloud sync is now safer when the same diary is open on multiple devices: remote updates received while writing are retried later, and Dawnary asks which version to keep before replacing anything when both this device and iCloud changed the same diary. Home also supports pull-to-sync, and Weekly Letter loading no longer shows duplicate typing animations.
1.0.38 Apr 26
Weekly Letter settings are now clearer and easier to use. The current model now appears as a dedicated card with provider icon, custom models are managed from the same model picker, and clearing a custom model keeps the custom entry so you can reconfigure it later. Weekly Letter generation is also more reliable, with better handling for incomplete AI responses.
1.0.37 Apr 20
Refreshed the bottom navigation with a cleaner full-width bar, clearer labels, and a centered write button. Profile also adds a new Feedback page with WeChat, Xiaohongshu, and email contact shortcuts.
1.0.36 Apr 14
Calendar thumbnails now appear more reliably on the same day after you add photos to a diary. Diary export is also much safer: multiple entries from the same day are preserved correctly, and export now fails clearly instead of producing an incomplete archive when files are missing or save/share handoff does not finish.
1.0.35 Apr 10
Improved consistency across Weekly Letter, diary previews, search, and export so the same entry text is interpreted more reliably throughout the app. Also fixed a preview-text issue where some formatted content could display incorrectly.
1.0.34 Apr 5
After inserting a photo, the caret now lands where you'd expect so you can keep writing right away. Failed splash-image retries now show immediate progress feedback, and iOS image cropping is more stable.
1.0.33 Apr 3
Location and weather permissions are now requested only when you choose to enable them in Settings. Reading layout follows each language more naturally, Preferences has clearer startup and display options, and share preview plus navigation feel smoother overall.
1.0.32 Apr 2
Weekly AI Summary is now Weekly Letter, with warmer delivery, clearer letter-style language, and much stronger voice differences between identities. Personal memory is more reliable and transparent, and dark mode action buttons are easier to read.
1.0.31 Apr 1
Improved Home readability with a larger, more natural timeline and a cleaner bottom fade. Also polished follow-up details for Weekly AI Summary language behavior and Profile localization.
1.0.30 Mar 30
Added a new Sunday AI Weekly Summary that presents a warm recap of your week in a full-screen bottom sheet, and refreshed Home with clearer top cards, a weekly writing overview, timeline polishing, and a centered quick-entry button. Also improved AI reliability with better response handling and more stable summary generation.
1.0.29 Mar 28
New diaries now apply your default template automatically while still letting you switch templates for the current entry. Writing prompts now follow the app language correctly, and Home offers a clearer Today card with quick entry creation plus direct access to your latest entries from today.
1.0.28 Mar 25
Added AI Summary on Home with configurable models, refreshed On This Day with random memories and inline expansion, and improved share/save, editor, and macOS experience across the app.
1.0.27 Mar 23
Improved privacy and stability across the app. Hidden private diaries now stay discreet on Home without exposing content or suggesting a second entry can be created. Share image generation feels smoother with faster first feedback, a more coherent loading preview, and reuse for unchanged content. Batch splash image uploads are more reliable, deleted diaries no longer appear in search results, and writing prompts now show more consistently.
1.0.26 Mar 19
You can now create your own diary templates — up to two custom ones. Search includes a new built-in Most-Used Tags section showing your most frequent tags; tap any to search instantly. Recent searches now has a one-tap clear button. Also fixes search back navigation, tag recognition after punctuation, and other minor issues.
1.0.25 Mar 18
Introduced a new onboarding flow with clearer privacy and iCloud setup, improved recovery of existing diaries after reinstall, made weather recording more reliable for new entries, and significantly smoothed the share-image preview experience with faster feedback and more stable interactions.
1.0.24 Mar 15
Fixed a cold-start issue where location and weather could fail to record permanently; improved context fetch reliability and same-day location backfill for entries.
1.0.22 Feb 28
Fixed iOS IME input issues; fixed undo/redo after paste and image insertion; improved stability.
1.0.21 Feb 22
Refined the Home diary list with a cleaner, more minimal visual style and smoother interactions for easier reading.

1.0.20 Feb 12
Share image now displays weather-based background overlay (cloud/sun/fog/snow/rain/partly cloudy) in the top-right corner based on diary weather metadata; added "Justify Align" toggle in Diary Format settings; improved calendar interaction to allow jumping to the list start by clicking today or future dates; enhanced Reading Mode with precise scroll position restoration (pixel-level alignment) and prevented background position corruption; fixed Feature Badge display when partially clipped; fixed an issue where changing diary dates wouldn't immediately update the sorting in Reading Mode.
1.0.19 Feb 4
Added image cropping with standard aspect ratios (Original/Square/3:2/4:3/16:9) and re-edit support; integrated Apple WeatherKit to automatically record weather at diary creation and display in Reading Mode; redesigned diary card metadata with icon-based UI for a cleaner look.

1.0.15 Jan 12
Companion Letters now handle custom letter ranges more consistently. The focus setting is back in Companion settings, letters use the correct diary window instead of a fixed recent range, and pending companion-decided letters are less likely to get stuck.
