The timeline stays familiar on every screen
iPhone keeps the compact rhythm built around short entries, replies, quotes, search, calendar, Analytics, and Home Screen widgets. iPad uses the same four core destinations in a bottom navigation bar and adapts its timeline and detail view to the available window width.
Split View, Stage Manager, keyboard, pointer, Share Extension, widgets, and existing deep links are part of the iPad experience.
Mac is a native diary workspace
The Mac app uses a native multi-column library for Home, discovery, Search, Calendar, Analytics, Favorites, Drafts, and thread details. Compose, import, export, share poster, Premium, and Settings use native windows.
Its optional menu-bar editor can capture paragraphs, to-dos, photos, video, voice recordings, location, replies, quotes, edits, and local drafts.
Private iCloud sync is optional
Every supported platform begins with local app storage. Verified Premium users can explicitly enable a dedicated private CloudKit zone in their own Apple Account for eligible diary data.
State of Mind and Apple Health access stay on iPhone and iPad. The Mac app has no HealthKit access and does not read or expose Apple Health emotion values. Home Screen widgets are described for iPhone and iPad.
