How it works
-
Mood and word count on one chart
Words written sit under the mood line, which answers something you cannot answer from memory: whether you write more on the good days or the bad ones.
-
Eight days out of thirty
Streak, days written, total words and average mood, all counted over the last month. A lifetime word count would tell you nothing.
-
Entries keep their face
The list shows the mood you picked and the first line, which is normally enough to bring the whole day back.
Asked about Journal
What is the Journal module in Cadence?
A few lines a day, with the mood of the day attached to them. Words written sit under the mood line, which answers something you cannot answer from memory: whether you write more on the good days or the bad ones.
Can I switch Journal off?
Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Journal, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.
Does Journal sync between the Mac and the iPhone?
Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Journal keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.
