Welcome to Zeitgeist 2.0! Day Detail has a whole new look, and things are faster and smoother than ever. Your day, all in one place: • See every photo you took that day, without attaching them to individual entries. • See when you woke up and went to sleep, using sleep data from Health. • See your appointments, events, and completed workouts. • See where you spent your day with battery-efficient background location tracking. And there’s more: • A completely new system for tagging your entries. • “On This Day” in your Profile brings back entries from the same date in previous years. A little time travel, minus the questionable science. • A new Recent Entries widget keeps your latest entries close at hand. • Voice Notes got a big upgrade, with an improved transcription interface and better transcription using your own optional OpenAI API key. • @mention selection is faster and more reliable. • Long-press a day header in the entry list to open its new menu. • Adding entries is faster. • The Timeline loads faster and scrolls more reliably. • Your Profile and maps are faster, too. • Tap anywhere on an entry’s text to open it. • When adding a photo, you can now use its time and location for the entry. • Tap a numbered cluster on a map to see all the entries inside. Same for photos.
You can now add voice notes to any entry. Zeitgeist also creates a transcription in English or German so your spoken thoughts become searchable and easy to revisit.
