Safer journals, and a fuller daily reflection • If you turn off iCloud for MirrorNotes or sign out of iCloud, your iPhone now keeps a private copy of your journal and offers to restore any entries that disappear. • A notice tells you when your latest changes haven't reached iCloud yet, so you know not to turn iCloud off before they're backed up. • If some entries can't be read on a new device, MirrorNotes now tells you why and how to fix it (turn on iCloud Keychain). • Delete Everything now also removes mood check-ins, and your other devices won't offer the deleted entries back. • Your daily reflection now also shows a second sentence from your entry, in your own words (English). • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, days spent at a hospital, clinic or similar now get a reflection instead of none. • A new Format panel, laid out like Notes: styles, bold/italic/underline/strikethrough, lists, indents and colours in one place.

Clearer reflections, and a fix for Japanese and Chinese • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, your daily reflection now quotes your own words, then adds one short line. In English that line is checked against what you wrote, so details you never wrote no longer appear. Other languages show your quote with a fixed line chosen by your mood. • Reflection openings now alternate between "You wrote," and "Earlier you wrote," so they don't all start the same way. • The first entry in onboarding now counts Japanese and Chinese words correctly. • On a new device, the Japanese and Chinese word-count update now waits until your entries have finished syncing from iCloud. • The Low, Mid and High labels on the mood charts are now translated.

Reflections after you write, and what they read • Write in the evening and you now get a reflection that day. If today's reflection was about earlier days and you then write today, a second one about today can appear. A reflection about an earlier day says which day it's from. • Reflections now wait for the exact minute you set, not just the hour. • On iPhones without Apple Intelligence, the reflection is a quote from your entry plus one plain sentence about how you seem. Only on harder days does it add one short, fixed suggestion. The generic "take a few deep breaths" is gone. • On those iPhones, the follow-up question that appears while you write now quotes your own words, so it can't bring in things you didn't write. • On any reflection, you can see exactly what was read to write it. • On iPhones without Apple Intelligence, if your latest weekly digest or monthly report was written by an earlier version, it may be rewritten once. Older ones aren't changed. • Questions in Ask can be up to 500 characters. • If mirror can't open your journal, it now says so, with a Try Again button, instead of crashing. Nothing is deleted. • Japanese and Chinese entries now have proper word counts, so totals, daily goals and XP make sense.

What went wrong with reflections, and what's different now Several earlier updates said reflections were fixed. They weren't, and I'm sorry. This time I found the cause. On iPhones without Apple Intelligence, mirror's built-in AI wrote like a storyteller and made up details: rain that wasn't there, people swapped around. On those iPhones, starting now: • Reflections, weekly digests, monthly reports and Ask quote your own sentences word for word. Anything in quotation marks is exactly what you wrote, so you can check it against your entry. • Apart from the quote, there's one short line about how it sounds. That line can still misread your mood or get a small detail wrong. • If Ask can't find your topic, it shows the closest things you wrote instead of guessing. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model still writes in its own words. Also in this update: • Weekly digests now arrive on Sundays in regions where the week starts on Sunday. • The home screen widget and notifications show only the short line, never your own sentence. • Try Again now waits for a reflection that's still being written, instead of doing nothing. • Fixed characters sometimes going missing in Japanese, Korean and Chinese AI text. • Reflections created before this update aren't changed. If a reflection ever gets something wrong, please tell me: Settings → About → Send feedback.

A grounding fix for reflections, digests, and monthly reports. • Fixed a rare case where a reflection, weekly digest, or monthly report could be generated without any of your own writing to actually draw from, and read as generic instead. • Small fixes and polish.

More reliable Past Reflections, and fewer repeated openings. • Fixed duplicate cards appearing in Past Reflections after a reflection needed more than one attempt. • Days where no reflection could be found no longer clutter your history. • Reduced cases where a reflection repeated the same opening as a recent one. • Fixed Monthly Report occasionally showing the wrong report for a past month. • Small fixes and polish.

More reliable reflections, and a smoother editor. • Fixed a case where a daily reflection could still include a detail that wasn't actually grounded in what you wrote. • Fixed the entry editor occasionally jumping to the top of the page while typing quickly. • Added acknowledgments for the on-device AI models we use, under Settings > About. • Small fixes and polish.

More dependable daily reflections. • Daily reflections now generate right after you write, even past your usual time — no need to leave and reopen the app. • Fixed an issue where a reflection could occasionally show content that wasn't grounded in what you actually wrote. • Try Again now reliably works — tap it and get a fresh, real reflection instead of nothing happening. • Fixed the home screen widget sometimes showing a "couldn't confirm" message instead of your real reflection. • Small fixes and polish.

A new way in, and reflections you can trust. • Talk it out: a short guided conversation (up to 3 questions) that turns into a fresh journal entry — fully on-device, nothing saved until you write. • Scan handwritten or printed text straight into an entry with your camera. • New one-tap entry starters — Gratitude, 3 Wins, Mood Log — alongside the daily prompt. • Daily reflections, weekly digests, and monthly reports are now far more reliably grounded in what you actually wrote — fixed the issue causing many to fall back to "couldn't confirm" instead of a real reflection. • When a reflection can't be confirmed, tap Try Again for a fresh one instead of waiting. • Quick capture via Siri is now easier to find, with setup instructions in Settings. • Added Reduce Motion support and improved contrast on the mood picker. • Fixes and polish.

Richer notifications, bigger widgets. • Daily Nudge notifications now expand right on the lock screen — see your mood and a preview of today's reflection, with a Write now button to jump straight in. • Weekly Digest and Monthly Deep Report widgets are now available in a larger size. • Fixed the blank "Clear formatting" button in the writing toolbar. • Fixes and polish.

Daily mood check-in, home screen widgets, and a sharper editor. • Daily mood check-in — log how you're feeling in one tap, no writing needed. If you miss your reminder, MirrorNotes asks next time you open the app, and a Log mood button on Insights lets you update anytime. Every check-in feeds your Mood Timeline and the Mood Map widget. • Weekly & Monthly widgets — your latest Weekly Digest and Monthly Deep Report right on the home screen. • Last week's digest stays visible until this week's is ready, and past digests now have their own archive — just like reflections. • Sharper reflections — Daily Nudges and Ask answers get straight to the point, no filler openers. • Editor: type "1. " to start a numbered list the way Notes does it, with cleaner spacing. Return continues the list, and continues out of it cleanly. • Fixes and polish.

A daily check-in for how you feel. • New — Daily Mood Check-In: one tap from a reminder to note how you're doing. No writing needed, free for everyone, and it now syncs across your devices via iCloud. • Your Mood Timeline, Mood Map widget, and mood alerts now factor in these check-ins (Deep). • Daily reflections feel less repetitive from one day to the next. • Fixed a display glitch in Ask when switching themes. Everything still runs entirely on your device — nothing you write ever leaves your phone.

Smarter on-device reflections. • On supported devices, MirrorNotes now taps into Apple's on-device Intelligence for sharper, more natural Daily Nudges, Weekly Digests, and Ask answers. • Everything still runs entirely on your device — nothing you write ever leaves your phone. • Older or unsupported devices are unaffected and keep working exactly as before.

Introducing Sentinel mode — a whole new way to see MirrorNotes. • A HUD-styled alternate view: mono readouts, ember accents, and a different personality on every screen — Settings, mood picker, calendar, tags, and more. • Switch anytime under Settings → Appearance. Classic is still there when you want the calm version back. • Redesigned first-run experience. • Full translations across all 10 supported languages.

A small but important fix. • Fixed: Brain View could show "No recurring themes yet" even with plenty of entries, if some couldn't be decrypted right when you opened it. It now shows your real themes correctly. • Performance and stability improvements.

Add an entry without even opening the app. • New: Quick-add via Siri — say "Add a journal entry in mirror" to save straight to your journal, no app required. Works from Shortcuts too. • Fixed: Brain View could get stuck loading forever if your entries didn't have enough repeating people or themes yet. • Fixed: the Subscription screen showed a fake "Deep" purchase badge — now shows an honest "Early Access" status instead. • Performance and stability improvements.

See your entries in a new light. • New: Brain view — an interactive map of the people and themes running through your entries, built entirely on-device. Unlocks after 10 entries. • Fixed: the subscription screen showed a fake "Deep" purchase badge — now shows an honest "Early Access" status instead. • Fixed: the word-goal progress bar tracked all words written that day instead of the entry you're on — now tracks per entry. • Fixed: entries missing a mood tag now get backfilled automatically. • Performance and stability improvements.

MirrorNotes now speaks your language. • New: mirror is now available in Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, German, French, Portuguese, Korean, Italian, and Russian — alongside English. mirror follows your device's language automatically. • Everything is free. Ask, Daily Reflection, Weekly Digest, Monthly Deep Report, Mood Timeline, and widgets are unlocked for everyone while mirror grows — no subscription required. • Smoother Ask: clearer messaging when the on-device AI model needs to download, and when your journal needs a few more entries before Ask can find patterns. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Improved Monthly Deep Report reliability The Monthly Deep Report now validates every section before showing it to you. Previously, if the on-device AI produced an incomplete report, the app would display it anyway — missing sections, truncated sentences, or an unfinished closing question. Now, if any section is incomplete or malformed, MirrorNotes automatically retries generation with a corrected prompt. You'll either see a complete, well-formed report or a clear prompt to try again — never a partial one.

Insights, redesigned for daylight The Insights view got a full visual refresh for light mode — sharper cards, cleaner hierarchy, and better use of color throughout. - Reflections come first. Your daily insight now appears at the top, where it belongs. - Clearer cards. Every card now has crisp definition with a clean white surface — no more washed-out glass on light backgrounds. - Weekly Digest is more scannable. Each section (Theme, Energy, Building…) gets its own color-coded chip so you can navigate at a glance. - Three-color layout system. Today (purple) · This Week (indigo) · Explore (orange) — clear visual hierarchy at a glance. - Writing prompts are easier to read with improved typography. - Bug fixes and performance improvements.
