What’s new in version 1.8

Version 1.8:

NEW

  • Sync your journal over iCloud.
  • Gorgeous new interface.
  • Weather & location for new entries. Old entries will automatically update when you select them. There is also a new menu item in case you want to manually update both.
  • Take a photo or video with your iSight camera without leaving the app.
  • Notification Center support for writing reminders.
  • Added auto-lock feature. By default Memories locks itself in 5 minutes after the window was closed.
  • Enhanced for Retina displays.
  • Preferences for a default font, auto-lock timer, Notification Center and weather.
  • Memories now requires OS X 10.7 Lion.

IMPROVED

  • List view looks much nicer now and adds more information (date, title & mood).
  • Change the date of an entry right from the top bar of each entry (or alternatively double-click in the list view or use the Edit menu).
  • Memories is much faster now, because it doesn’t load all entries on launch. Instead it loads and decrypts just the selected one.
  • Better memory management, support for new technologies.
  • Moved date filter calendar out of the way into a popover.
  • Added animations at several places for more pizzaz.
  • Improved support of embedded sound & videos. The play buttons work now every time you click on them and you don’t have to right-click anymore.
  • Every encryption key is now truly random.
  • Greatly improved encryption code and security.
  • Completely new login view with a hint in case you can’t remember the password anymore.
  • Improved auto-saving on every major operation.
  • Memories now informs you when no entry is selected instead of being completely blank.
  • Error handling in several cases.
  • App icon.

FIXED

  • Text no longer disappears when you change the mood without previously saving an entry.
  • The insertion cursor should no longer jump every couple of minutes when you write more than a screen full of text.
  • Search in the content of all entries.
  • Fixed bug where password wasn’t recognized on certain older machines.
  • Window should no longer be grey in some rare cases where the app was force quit and the window size preferences got corrupted.
  • Entries from which you removed all content get properly saved now instead of reverting to the last non-empty version.
  • Empty space between entries on print & export of the whole journal.
