Apple Announces Journal for iPadOS 26 and MacOS 26 Tahoe

When Apple announced Journal in 2023, I was impressed with how useful and intuitive it is for someone wanting to start a journaling practice on a native application. I also appreciated the app and wondered if (or when) Apple might bring it to other platforms.

Today, at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference in Cupertino, Apple announced good news. Journal will be available on Mac OS Tahoe and iPadOS 26 later this year.

I’ve had plenty of readers write me and say that not having cross-platform support is a big sticking point for them to use the otherwise excellent journaling tool that Apple is making.

Well, here’s your chance. Check it out and kick the tires once the new updates are available. Once Journal is out in the wild and truly cross-platform, it might be a good time to give The 10-Day Journaling Challenge a try.
