Conceal content for additional privacy

How to conceal entries on the List and multi-entry views in Day One

Personal journaling can be a very private experience. To provide additional privacy options, we have introduced a new feature to conceal entry content in the List view and multi-entry views (Today and On This Day). This is enabled at the journal level.

iOS

Go to Day One > tap on Profile to view Settings > Journals > tap the journal to be concealed > Advanced > turn on the toggle for “Conceal Content.”

Entries will now be hidden on the List until tapped. Tap the eye icon on the entry to reveal content. Tap a different Journal then back to your hidden Journal to re-conceal the content.

Android

Go to Day One > tap on Profile to view Settings > Journals > tap the journal to be concealed > Advanced > turn on the toggle for “Conceal Content.” Tap the Check in the upper right corner of the Journal page to confirm.

Entries will now be hidden on the List until tapped. Tap the eye icon on the entry to reveal content. Tap a different Journal then back to your hidden Journal to re-conceal the content.

macOS

Go to Day One > Settings > Journals > click the “I” icon to the right of the journal > click the box for Conceal content > click Update to save the changes.

Once concealed, entry content will be hidden in the List view until clicked. Click the eye icon at the top of the app to conceal entries again.
