Occasionally it seems like the shortcut doesn’t actually append the log entry as expected. Note/Update: the shortcut now copies the entry to your clipboard.
Day One support has been helpful (as always) in helping me troubleshoot this but it seems like iPadOS background syncing is just flakey right now. That being said, even when I do run it on the iPad, the appended line doesn’t show up on the entry, which is weird because if I view the entry on my iPhone, it’s there.Īgain, syncing seems to be the issue here. The solution is just use it on one iOS device OR make sure you open up Day One and that it syncs before running it on that other device. This seems to be related to background syncing of the journal contents. But if I try to use it on my iPad and I haven’t yet opened Day One on my iPad the shortcut doesn’t realize that I’ve already created an entry for today on my iPhone. The big caveat here is that if you use Day One on both iPad and iPhone, this shortcut seems to only work on one device. Once you make those changes, it should just work for you. Just make sure to split them up with a line break. You may also want to edit the questions in the “A new entry from prompts” section. If you are going to use this shortcut you must expand the six “Day One” actions in the shortcut and change the “Journal” field to match the name of the journal you’re using in Day One.
DAY ONE APP FOR MAC MAC
on the Mac.īut whether I’m in front of my Mac or my iPad, I always have my iPhone with me. Automation is now platform specific: shortcuts on iOS and some combination of automator, AppleScript, keyboard maestro, Alfred, etc. But now, my time is split evenly between sitting behind my Mac and using my iPad.Īpple is making it harder and harder to write one-size-fits-all automations that can be used on the Mac and on the iPad and iPhone. In the past, I might have relied on a bit of AppleScript or Keyboard Maestro to solve this problem. Unfortunately, for all of Day One’s strengths and features it does not make it especially easy to automate the process of appending thoughts/notes to a single day’s entry throughout the day. I fall firmly into the second camp, using markdown bullets and a time stamp to log entries to a single entry throughout the day. Spending some time on the Day One community page on Facebook it seems like for those who journal multiple times per day–adding notes, thoughts, activities throughout the day–there are two schools of thought for capturing throughout the day:ġ.) create a new entry in Day One for each of the day’s multiple entriesĢ.) append to a single daily entry throughout the day.
