I've long been critic of Apple's attempt at a Journal App, which was pretty poor at first attempt. However, just been trying it out and finding it quite good. I'm using the Mac version on public beta OS27, which does have some improvements, but not many. I'm using a short cut to generate 'on this day', for me a must have feature, which works pretty solidly. It hasn't added many features, but I'm actually thinking of switching from Day One at this moment - maybe it's the minimalist approach that I'm now appreciating. I recently switched to Apple reminders, Notes, Apple Passwords and Podcasts from well known third party offerings and enjoying all of it. There is clearly a pattern here!

Not a big deal, but something that would be really great for me is the ability to add GIFs to an entry, the same way you can with photos and videos.

Am I missing something and that’s already possible? If not, I’d love for that to be a thing at some point.

I'm giving Apple News a spin and there are so many issues.

But the one I can't figure out right now is how to get a magazine into the "Favorites" section of the sidebar. Right-clicking on a magazine in the sidebar lets me remove it... but right-clicking on a magazine in the viewer section does not give me the option to save it to favorites. If I click and drag a magazine in the viewer it creates a new window with that mag, but I can't drop it into the sidebar as a fav.

Any help?

Thank you in advance for your reply.
