You can now perform quick actions on the Home Screen and the App Library. Touch and hold the Clearful app icon to open the quick actions menu. You can choose to give feedback, create a new entry, or search your journal entries.

We beta launched the Clearful web app in September, which now means you can journal on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac computers, and any web browser! Thanks again to many of you that tried the web app and pointed out issues for us to fix.

We plan to keep the "beta" label on the web app for now, and if you want to use it please let us know. As we iron out the remaining issues we'll open the app up to everyone.

Say hello to Checkboxes! You can add interactive, checkable items next to tasks or goals in your journal, making it easier to track your progress. For example, in a Bucket List journal template, you can use checkboxes next to life goals or experiences, giving you a way to mark off achievements as you complete them. Similarly, in bullet journaling, checkboxes can be used for daily tasks, habit tracking, or long-term goals, offering a snapshot of your accomplishments.

You can now pin journal entries to the top of the Entries list for faster access. This feature is handy if you have entries that you’d like to have top-of-mind (e.g., Yearly Review, 2022 Bucket List, Not-To-Do List). It is also a great place to keep work-in-progress entries you don’t want to forget about. To pin an entry, open an entry and tap on the three-dot button (or long-press on an entry snippet) in the Entries tab and toggle the 'Pin to Top' switch to the 'on' position.

Visualize your journaling progress over time, gain insights about your activity in the app, and learn which guided journals you use most.

Browse the Library and curate your own collections of guided journals to personalize your writing experience.

Choose from multiple themes to make your journal feel even more personal and fun. More themes coming!

Find even more journaling Templates for all areas of life and make regular reflection even more powerful.

Make any particularly sensitive journal entries even harder to access by locking them and requiring re-authentication.

Find linked Templates to journal entries and uncover your writing patterns and trends over time.

This feature was highly requested, so we're incredibly excited to introduce it to you. Need to recall something or reflect on the past? Search for people, places, dates, thoughts, ideas, and experiences effortlessly in your Clearful journal!

‍Tap on the Search icon in the top right corner of the Entries screen, then enter what you're looking for, and entries will begin to appear.

While striving to provide a delightful journaling experience in Clearful, we also strongly believe that your journal data is yours - to use how and where you want. So, you can now export all of your journal entries as a plain text document. You will have more export options down the road as well. To export your entries, go to Settings > Account Info > Export Journal Entries.

You can now save Templates and Prompts to two Collections just for you: Want To Do and Favorites! Save guided journals you'd like to complete someday to the Want To Do Collection for a curated list of inspiration. Save your most-loved guided journals to the Favorites Collection for quick and easy access to your faves. To save, open any Prompt or Template and tap the 'Save' button.

We've heard your feedback that finding specific Templates and Prompts can be difficult. Now, instead of browsing the Library, you can search for Templates and Prompts directly! Tap the 'Search' button in the Library to quickly find resources.

You can now see if you created your journal entries from Templates and which ones. Open a journal entry, tap on the three-dot icon to open the Entry Info sheet, and view your linked Templates.

You can now quickly capture thoughts and feelings throughout the day with an easy-access Quick Capture field just above the tab bar! Whether you'd like to record an interesting thought, an emotion you're experiencing, or simply clear your mind, quick capture is a great way to practice micro journaling and take a moment of reflection more often. Download the latest update to use this feature!

You can now find even more exciting guided journaling resources in Collections, which are round-ups of featured templates and prompts. You will find Collections such as Editor's Picks, Popular, and New on a regular basis, as well as limited-time Collections such as New Year and Holidays. To view the current Collections, go to the Library tab and swipe through the cards at the top of the screen.

Consistent journal writing is an incredibly valuable practice for helping us live our best lives, but integrating the practice into our lives and continuing to journal regularly can be challenging at times. To help you (and us) be more consistent and build a lifelong habit, we have added a Streak tracking feature to Clearful, which can be viewed in the new Today tab.

Having both daily and weekly streak tracking offers flexibility as we know that some individuals want to build a daily journaling practice, while others feel more comfortable with weekly journaling. A weekly streak can encourage one to reflect on their life consistently without feeling the pressure to have to do it every day.

You can now quickly browse and select shortlisted Templates, Prompts, and the day's Discover Daily directly from a new journal entry. We've heard from you that finding resources in the Library can feel overwhelming or lengthy at times, so this is the first step in making guided resources more accessible. Right now, you'll find Editor's Picks Prompts and Templates that have been curated by us, but there will be more options such as 'Recently Used' coming soon. Tap on the round + button to create a new entry and then tap the 'Guided Journals' button to view the shortlisted resources.

To enhance the journal writing and reading experience in low-light environments and give your eyes some rest, we've added dark mode support for iOS and Android with a new darker color palette. Clearful will automatically match your phone's system appearance/theme preferences, or you can manually change to the Light or Dark theme. Go to Settings > Appearance / Theme in the app to view your preferences in Clearful. To view your phone's settings, on iOS go to Settings > Display & Brightness, or on Android go to Settings > Display > Theme.

You can now use FaceID or TouchID (on iOS) or Fingerprint (Android) to securely access your journal when you're already logged in and the app is in the background. This is a nice additional piece of security that ensures that Clearful can't be opened even if someone uses your device when it is unlocked. To enable, go to Settings > Security Lock.

Clearful is now available for Android phones in the Google Play Store. If you have an Android phone, you can download the app here. Give it a try! If you have questions or feedback, please contact us at [email protected]. We're always interested in hearing how we can make Clearful better!

Getting feedback is incredibly important in helping us understand what challenges our users are facing when journaling as that helps us improve the product and design innovative ways to solve problems. To make giving feedback easier, we added a small icon in the top right corner of several screens in the app that opens a window with a text field for feedback. We look at feedback that's coming in daily, so please don't hesitate to let us know how we can improve your journaling experience!

Our text editor now automatically converts markdown styles as you type. Enjoy instant formatting for headers, quotes, dividers, lists, and more.

You can now answer a Discover Daily journal prompt even if you've previously skipped it. Simply tap the Discovery Daily card to open the prompt. Thank you to those who provided feedback on this!

You can now see Moments you've added to your journal entries via Apple's Journaling Suggestions in Rediscover.

You can now take screenshots of the app on Android devices.

Your iOS home screen widgets now match the app theme you have set in Clearful for a more personalized experience. To change your theme in the app, go to Settings → Appearance / Theme.

The above-keyboard toolbar has been redesigned to make the writing experience more functional and clean.

This one is a bit obscure, but we shipped an improvement that allows nested navigation in various pages in the app. For example, opening a Topic or Collection in the Library now keeps the bottom navigation bar (on mobile) and side navigation bar (on Mac and web) visible.

This makes it easier to navigate between main pages, even when currently viewing a sub-page. It also gives much needed capabilities for the web app, enabling the back/forward controls and jumping to different pages via typing in the URL bar.

We heard feedback that the way we were displaying snippets of your journal entries was confusing. It wasn't clear if the entirety of the entry was visible in the card or if there was more to read, and the variable heights of the cards was non-intuitive.

We've now standardized the maximum height of the cards and added a fade effect that shows if there's more to see. We'll continue to work on the design to make this clearer and offer multiple views of your entries.

Thanks so much to "M" that reached out about this!

We improved the design in multiple areas of the app, including:

• More subtle shadows on all cards (entry snippets, templates).
• Darker (higher contrast) text in various components.
• Smaller "cells" in Settings.
• Rounded search fields.
• Rounded collection buttons in the Library. They're also now light blue instead of our primary blue with darker text/icons.
• Better positioning of card icons (pinned entries, saved templates).

To quickly add a divider when typing in the Mac or Web app, add three dashes followed by a space (--- ). This will automatically convert the dashes to a divider and move the carat to the next line.

In the Mac or Web app, you can add a divider (i.e., horizontal line) to a journal entry by using 3 dashes followed by a space (--- ).

Additional markdown formatting support has been added which allows you to add headers to your entries using hash symbols. To create an H1 heading, type '#' followed by a space. For an H2, type '##' followed by a space, and for H3, type '###' followed by a space. This improvement is particularly helpful for those of you who journal on your Mac!

If you're busy in Clearful writing a journal entry, reviewing Rediscover entries, or browsing guided journaling content in the Library, you shouldn't be interrupted. This would happen if you closed the app and tapped on one of our iOS widget actions. Now, if you're in the middle of something in the app and tap a widget action, the action will wait to trigger until you're done what you're already doing.

When loading Library content or opening the app from a cold start, sometimes the app would appear empty before the content loaded. Now, the app has attractive loading states that show you things are happening in the background. No more "jumpy" content!

The Library used to load content once on opening the app, which meant that it would take re-opening the app in order for new templates, prompts, and collections to appear. With the introduction of custom templates along with our multi-device functionality, this wasn't the best experience.

Now, new Library content will be available to all of your devices immediately.

The text in Flow Editor (i.e., your journal entries) now automatically scales to your device's settings. This ensures an accessible and quality reading experience for all. Thanks again to those of you who were generous to provide feedback on this issue!

Keyboard dropdown changed to 'Done' button - The new 'Done' button lowers the keyboard and takes you out of edit mode. Simply tap anywhere to enter edit mode again.

Entry close button moved to top right corner - You can now exit an entry easily whether the keyboard is up or down.

Entry info sheet button moved to top - The ellipsis button which shows entry details and actions appears at the top of the screen when edit mode is exited.

We've updated the design of icons throughout the app.

Blank titles are now hidden automatically in Rediscover so that you can review your entries in a more streamlined way.

Don’t want biometric authentication such as FaceID and TouchID to be enabled immediately after leaving the Clearful app? Go to Settings and turn on ‘Time Out After’ to your desired timeframe, from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. This feature allows you to leave the app and come back without being prompted for re-authentication within the set period of time, making it easier to jump back and forth between multiple apps.

Press and hold on to a journal entry snippet in the Entries tab to reveal an action sheet that contains quick access to pinning entries, adding a security lock, enabling or disabling Rediscover, and deleting entries.

The Rediscover card in the Today tab will now change according to where you are in the review process. If you have entries remaining to review, it will show you how many and bring you back to where you left off. If you have completed the day's review, it will display a completed state. You will now have more clarity of your daily Rediscover progress to ensure you don't miss out on looking back at your past self!

We've added another confirmation layer to the account deletion process. Journal entries are incredible valuable so to prevent accidental deletion, the word 'DELETE' has to be typed out before proceeding to the re-authentication step.

We've added three new beautiful themes (both in Light and Dark mode) for Clearful Pro members so you can personalize your journal and make it your own with a beautiful color palette. If you'd like to test out a theme and you're not a Pro subscriber yet, you can take advantage of our 7-day free trial. To explore and try on the new themes, go to Settings > Appearance / Theme.

Your favorite blue button to add a new entry has been moved! It's much bigger and more noticeable so you shouldn't miss it :)

You can now read and review all of your past journal entries that are brought back with Rediscover more delightfully and effectively. Instead of opening and closing each entry individually, you can now easily move from one entry to the next (and back), as well as see progress along the way.

Revisiting past writings is an essential part of journaling as it enables you to relive memories and milestones, uncover patterns in your life, and see how far you've come. So, we're incredibly excited to make Rediscover an even more valuable and exciting part of Clearful!

We've made some under the hood changes that will allow us to release new features faster and with fewer pesky bugs.

Elements throughout the app, such as cards and buttons, now have semantic labels, making the app much more accessible to all Clearful journalers!

Enjoy a more beautiful, calm, and consistent experience in your journal with interface improvements to buttons, bottom sheets, and many more elements. We're always working on ways to make your journaling experience more delightful!

‍

We've heard from several of you (thanks for reaching out!) that you'd like to update your account's email address, so you can now do so in Settings > Account Info.

‍

iPad owners - you're going to love this update! We've worked hard to make journaling with Clearful beautiful on every screen. Whether you're journaling on your iPhone 8 or your iPad Pro, Clearful will automatically size itself to look and feel great. If you're using your iPad with a Magic or Smart Keyboard or in landscape mode, you'll enjoy a full-width journaling experience that helps you journal faster and more often.

Your three most recently used Templates and Prompts will be available for quick-use directly in every new entry. Tap on 'Guided Journals' in a new entry to see them.

Now, your home base in Clearful is Today. See today's entries, today's stats (number of entries and words written), your streaks, the day's Discover Daily question, and your Rediscover entries to reflect on from the past. More exciting things to come in Today in the near future!

You can now see the Discover Daily question directly in Today (without having to open it first) and skip it if it doesn't appeal to you that day. The Daily itself has also been redesigned.

Rediscover has been redesigned to look and function just like your Entries - vertically scrollable (rather than horizontally) and in day-groups. It's now easier to see and open all Rediscover entries for a particular time period.

In addition to biometric authentication, we've added another privacy enhancement. Secure blocking covers the content of Clearful when viewing your open apps in multitasking mode on your phone.

For our initial launch we made Clearful available only in the App Stores in the US and Canada. After performing some backend improvements in how we handle different time zones, we are now live in three additional App Stores: United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. If you have an iPhone and live in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, you can now download the app for iOS! While right now Clearful is only available for iOS users in these regions, we plan to bring it to Android for these regions in the future as well.

‍

We added support for a 24-hour clock which is the standard in many countries. Clearful will support the system settings that a user's phone is set to, whether that is a 12-hour clock or a 24-hour clock. Things like the time on journal entries and time picker will automatically adjust to the system settings. This was an essential update as we make plans to launch Clearful is more regions.
