• Views that fit your routine: Day, Week, and Month for planning; List & Reader for fast, distraction free browsing of past entries.
• Day vs. List modes: In Day Mode, the next item is the next date and journals open on today’s sheet. In List Mode, the next item is the next nonempty day and journals open to the List/Reader view.
