Entry Info/Metadata in Day One for iOS

Accessing Metadata in Day One for iOS will give you an in depth look at your entry

Day One stores metadata for each entry. This includes location, date/time, activity, music, etc. This metadata can only be accessed in the iOS app.

Accessing Entry Info/metadata in Day One on iOS

Tap the More (•••) button at the top right of an entry, then Entry Info.

Tap the Map at the bottom of an entry.

The metadata page includes details like:

  • Location
  • Tags
  • Journal
  • Date/Time
  • Favorite
  • Shortcut to On This Day
  • Weather
  • Entry Creation Device
  • Stats
  • Entry ID
  • Activity
  • Music
  • Photos
  • Options to share/export, view PDF, and view Plain Text
  • Delete Entry

Note: Music metadata can only be added in the iOS app when using Apple’s Music app.

Fetch/Update Weather information

If you add a location to your entry (either manually or automatically), the Weather metadata will be added automatically based on Apple’s WeatherKit data.

If you tap the Weather info in an entry, you can either update or remove the Weather metadata.

If you see any errors fetching Weather data, there could be an issue with WeatherKit.

Currently, Weather info is linked to Location, so the only way to prevent Weather info being added is to either not add a Location, or manually remove the Weather info.
