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

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