more You can now use the app with your iPad held upright. Your handwriting stays the same in portrait and landscape.
What's new

• In portrait Month view, the monthly sidebar can be placed anywhere, can sit partly off the edge, and its border can be shown or hidden
• Appearance in Settings is now organized into four tabs: Color, Font, Time Gutter and Sidebar
• Weekday and month labels can each be set to English, Japanese, Korean or German
• The time gutter background can be Blurred or Clear
• In Day view, changing the date slides the page sideways while keeping the previous day's handwriting in view
• Initial setup now fits on one screen, with a sample planner to preview labels and font weight
• You're notified right away when you add an event to a calendar set to be hidden
• Calendar sync settings now include guidance on signing in again
• When you write on the same page on more than one iPad, both sets of handwriting are kept

5.0.0 1d ago
Bug fixes.
Fixes
• Fixed an issue in Week and Day views where tapping the event on the right, when two events overlap in the same time slot, selected the event on the left
• Fixed an issue where lines drawn in the Year calendar could disappear right after drawing and not be saved
• Fixed an issue where handwriting from your other devices could fail to appear while the Month view was open
• Fixed an issue where the last line you drew could be lost if the app closed right after drawing
Coming soon
We are currently working on support for using the app with your iPad in portrait orientation. We will deliver it in an update as soon as it is ready.
If you notice any problems or have suggestions, please let us know through an App Store review or via "Support & Contact" in the app. Your reports help us improve.
4.5.3 Oct 21
Bug fixes and more reliable handling of your plan status.
Fixes
• Fixed an issue where the "this week" range you can write in the Journal on the Free plan could differ from the page's week boundaries
• Fixed an issue where the perks for long-time users (14-day trial and special discount) were not applied correctly on devices set to a non-Gregorian calendar, such as the Buddhist calendar
• Fixed an issue where the special discount notice might not appear when it was due at the same time as the update notice
• Fixed an issue where the free trial could be treated as ended by mistake, for example after the device clock was reset
Improvements
• Your plan status (such as the end of the free trial or a purchase) is now reflected as soon as you return to the app. The Highlight Theme switches accordingly
4.5.2 Sep 27
You can now choose the first day of the week, from Sunday to Saturday.
New
• Added "First day of the week". Under Calendar View in Settings, you can start the week on any day from Sunday to Saturday. You can also choose it in the tutorial on first launch
Note: Handwriting is stored per first day of the week, so changing it hides your existing handwriting (nothing is deleted; switch back to see it again)
Improvements
• Added a trash button to the top right of the event editor, so you can delete an event right from the editor
• The event and recurring icon editors no longer close when you tap outside or swipe down, so you're less likely to lose what you're typing
Fixes
• Fixed an issue where the year in the Year view and sidebar appeared as "0008" when the iPad's calendar was set to Japanese. Years are now always shown in the Gregorian calendar, regardless of the device setting
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback.
4.5.0 Sep 21
Bug fixes and clearer information about the Free and Premium plans.
Fixes
• Fixed an issue where events could remain visible after turning off all calendars in Settings
• Fixed an issue where events crossing midnight were drawn from their start time on both days in Week and Day views. They now appear in the correct time range on each day, and tap selection works correctly
Improvements
• The Free plan's display range (5 days before and after today) is now always shown at the bottom of the screen
• Added a Free vs Premium comparison table to the plan screens so you can see the differences at a glance
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback in reviews.
4.4.1 Sep 2
You can now control the display order of your calendars.
New
• Added "Display Priority": drag to reorder calendars under Sync Calendars in Settings — calendars higher in the list are shown first in each day cell. Great for keeping holidays on top
• The reorder screen includes a live preview, so you can see the result as you drag
Improvements
• Events in month-view cells and the all-day area are now always shown in a consistent order: all-day events first, then by start time
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback.
4.4.0 Aug 26
This update fixes a reported issue and improves usability.
Fixes
• Fixed an issue where recurring icon ON/OFF settings could revert after restarting the app
Improvements
• Rules can now be deleted directly from the edit screen with the new "Delete Rule" button (swipe to delete still works)
• Redesigned the Recurring Icons settings screen for simpler adding, editing, and deleting
Thank you to everyone who reported this issue.
4.3.1 Aug 12
Thanks to reports from our users, this update fixes two issues affecting handwritten notes. Thank you to everyone who reached out.
Fixed an issue where handwriting was not shared across Day, Week, and Month views and could be partially lost when the device calendar was set to the Japanese calendar
Fixed an issue where handwriting written in the Month view on days of the previous or next month did not appear in the Day and Week views (existing handwriting is automatically shown in the right place)
Improved the handwriting save process to fix a rare issue where strokes could be saved in the wrong position
4.3.0 Aug 8
This update focuses on one specific moment in Month View: when the month changes as you scroll.
■ The month-change stutter is gone
The previous update made Month View lighter overall, but one instant still stuttered — the moment the month changes while scrolling. We rebuilt that step, and on our development devices dropped frames fell to about one eighth or less. You can now keep writing straight through a month change.
■ Fixes for handwriting and view position
- Handwriting briefly disappearing the moment scrolling stops
- The view jumping to the start of the month when scrolling stops
- Another month flashing on screen right after the displayed month is auto-corrected
- Drawing input not being carried over correctly when a canvas is reused
■ Other improvements
- Revised when the review request appears so it interrupts less
- Filled in text that was left untranslated in some languages
Thank you for using MUJI-IRO. We welcome your feedback and requests.
4.2.0 Aug 3
This update focuses on Month View performance and a refreshed design for the time gutter.
Dramatically faster Month View
The rendering pipeline has been rebuilt from the ground up, making scrolling and view switching noticeably smoother. We also fixed a flicker where the screen briefly flashed white right after zooming.
Refreshed gutter design
The time gutter in Week and Day views now features a Liquid Glass look, with refined spacing and softer corners for a more polished feel.
Customizable gutter colors
Choose your favorite color from the full set of theme presets and apply it to the gutter. You can change it in Settings > Appearance.
Better support for text size
The gutter width now adapts to your Dynamic Type setting, so times and the mini calendar are no longer truncated at larger text sizes.
Thank you for using MUJI-IRO. We would love to hear your feedback on X.
