Apple Unveils Journal at WWDC 2023, Coming to iPhone Later this Year

During Monday's WWDC conference, Apple announced Journal, a new app coming to iPhone later this year.

From the iOS 17 feature page at Apple.com:

Using on-device machine learning, your iPhone creates personalized suggestions of moments for you to remember and write about based on your photos, music, workouts, and more.

Other highlights include:

• Reflection and writing prompts

• The ability to mark important or meaningful entries for review later

• Scheduled notifications at the beginning and end of the day as well as reminders to record your thoughts about important events

• Apple's typical and appreciated approach to security, including end-to-end encryption, on-device processing, and locked journals

On Upgrade, co-host Jason Snell mentioned that other developers should be able to use the Suggestions API, giving tools like my favorite journaling app, Day One, an opportunity to integrate these features.

I’ll share more as Apple continues to release details.
