• Fewer permissions: Local Journal no longer declares camera or location access. These came from a library feature the app never used, and it has been removed. • Exported text, JSON and PDF files are now saved with their proper file types, so other apps recognize them more reliably. • Behind-the-scenes updates to keep things running smoothly.

What's new • Voice entries: recordings no longer show as "transcript only" after you reinstall Local Journal or restore your iPhone. Your existing recordings play again — nothing was lost. • Built-in fonts: Local Journal no longer connects to the internet to load its fonts, so it looks right even on a first launch without a connection. • Behind-the-scenes fixes and tidy-ups to keep things running smoothly.

New: Trash Deleting an entry now moves it to Trash, so nothing disappears by accident. • Move an entry to Trash from its menu, or from a voice entry's screen. Tap Undo to bring it straight back. • Find trashed entries in Settings → Trash. Restore any of them within 30 days, or delete them permanently. • After 30 days, trashed entries and their voice recordings are permanently deleted from your device. • Trashed entries stay out of your Timeline, Search, and text and PDF exports. • Discard a draft you haven't saved yet. • JSON backups now include your Trash and keep each entry's remaining days. Importing an older backup won't bring back entries you've permanently deleted. Fixes • Search results now update when you return to Search. • Timeline month headers no longer get cut off at very large text sizes.

v4.5.4 - "New entry" button on the Today page to start a fresh entry without switching to the Timeline and back. - The editor no longer jumps up or down by a line each time autosave runs. The "Saved"/"Saving…" status now keeps a constant width, so switching between the two no longer reflows the "Created" line above the text field. Most noticeable at larger font sizes. - Today page header buttons ("Go to Today", "New entry") now wrap onto another line instead of being clipped at larger font sizes. - Fixed the Today editor collapsing and flickering at very large system font sizes (most visible on iOS). The editor now scrolls instead of being squeezed to nothing, the header stays compact, and the "New entry" button no longer appears and disappears on each autosave.

What's New in 4.5.3 Bug fixes and improvements: - Fixed an issue where tapping a same-day voice entry could leave the editor stuck with no way to start a new free-write - Voice recording is now correctly restricted to today's entry only - "Go to Today" is now a clearly labeled button - Improved reliability of in-app purchase and restore — connection timeouts now surface an error message instead of hanging silently

What's New in 4.5 Your settings are now included when you export your journal. When you import a backup, your app lock delay and preferences are automatically restored — no need to reconfigure after switching devices.
