After two years as an iPhone exclusive, Apple\u2019s Journal app will soon be available on Mac and iPad. Apple announced at WWDC on Monday<\/a> that its latest macOS 26<\/a> and iPadOS 26 updates<\/a> will support the Journal app<\/a>, which helps users track their daily activities and experiences with images, videos, and voice memos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cJournal comes to Mac, making it easy to capture and write about everyday moments and special events when inspiration strikes,\u201d Apple said in the macOS 26 press release<\/a>. \u201cOn Mac, it\u2019s easy to type long, thoughtful entries and view them on a map. Users can keep multiple journals for various aspects of life, which are all synced across Apple devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On iPad, Apple says<\/a> that Journal users can use their finger or Apple Pencil to \u201cincorporate drawings and handwriting\u201d alongside their journal entries. I can especially see the appeal on iPad as someone who regularly adds doodles and illustrations to my own journals. Being able to use the app on a larger screen will also likely feel closer to using traditional paper journals, which could sway some people to switch to a digital experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n iPad and Mac users will need to wait a little while to try out Journal \u2014 while developer betas are available now<\/a>, public iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 betas aren\u2019t coming until next month, with a full release expected this fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
