Journal Templates & Settings
Pick a default starting template for new entries and toggle the sidebar panes.
Open from Settings → Journal.
Default Template
Pick any template (built-in or custom). New journal entries are seeded with that content.
Useful for prompts like:
- Daily reflection (gratitude, intentions, retro)
- Standup template (yesterday / today / blockers)
- Mood / energy log
If the template uses date variables, they're filled in for the current entry's date.
Sidebar Visibility
Toggle which panes appear in the journal sidebar:
| Toggle | Shows |
|---|---|
| Show Schedule | Calendar events for the focused date |
| Show Tasks | Tasks due that day |
| Show AI Connections | Semantically related entries (requires AI enabled) |
Each toggle is independent. Turn them on as you find them useful.
Stats Footer
Toggle the footer that displays word count, character count, and entry counts at the bottom of the writing column.
Why These Live in Settings
Journal preferences are personal — they don't sync between devices by default. If you prefer a different layout on a laptop vs desktop, that's supported automatically.
