Keeping a diary of some kind, be it a physical book or Star Trek-style Captain’s Log, is a proven way to boost your mental health, and Apple looks set to introduce its own journaling app with iOS 17.
According to documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal, the app — internally codenamed Jurassic, will use on-device data such as call and text records to help users track their activity to remind them what they achieved each day and get them writing. It will even be able to tell when you’ve had a day out of the ordinary worth writing about. Journaling is obviously a very private process so there is some concern about data privacy. But by keeping analysis of users’ days to on-device data, it should be more secure.
