The Wall Street Journal this week reported that Apple plans to release a journaling app for the iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/21/apple-launching-journaling-app/) that would compete with the likes of Day One.

If released, the app would "analyze the users' behavior to determine what a typical day is like, including how much time is spent at home compared with elsewhere, and whether a certain day included something outside the norm," according to the report.
