New Features in 1.2.2
- The themes have names now, and there’s a new one. Light is Meadow, dark is Dusk, and Moss is new: deep greens borrowed from the app icon. Pick one in Settings or the View menu.
Improvements in 1.2.2
- The meadow keeps its color at night. The illustration under your entries used to go grey in dark mode, a smudge against any tinted background. Now it dims and takes on the theme’s own tint, whichever dark theme you’re in.
- Cloud drives stop echoing your saves back. Google Drive and iCloud touch a file again long after you save it. Cozy no longer mistakes that late echo for an outside edit and reloads the entry under you.
- The map opens where you were last. It used to zoom out far enough to hold every country you’ve ever written from. Now it lands on your most recent entry with a place on it, and clicking the Map tab again brings you back there.
- “Use current location” actually works on a Mac now. Cozy asks macOS directly where you are instead of quietly failing, so new entries pick up their place. macOS asks your permission the first time.
- Click the tab you’re already on to go back to the top. The list, the calendar and the map all take the hint.
- Days and places read like your list. Open a day from the calendar or a pin from the map and the entries arrive in your journal’s own order, under month headings when they span more than one. Each row keeps its cover photo and its first line, even while a sync is moving things around underneath.
- Empty screens say what belongs there. Every view has its own little plant now, and a quiet line under the headline about what will fill the space once you write.
- The app icon follows your Mac. On macOS Tahoe it switches with light and dark mode and picks up your tint, instead of staying one static picture.
Bug Fixes in 1.2.2
- Videos play again after you switch away and back. Returning to an entry with a video, or reopening the app to one, could fail with “format not supported” until you restarted. Playback survives switching entries now.
- A photo still up in iCloud gets downloaded, not a blank. A picture or video iCloud hadn’t pulled down yet used to come up empty. Cozy downloads it first now.
- Adding a place no longer fights your typing. Setting or clearing a location on the entry you’re writing now rides the same save as your words, so it can’t turn into a duplicate or overwrite something you’d just typed.
- The buttons in the notices at the top of an entry actually click. They sat in the strip that drags the window, so a click moved the window instead. And deleting a conflict copy now deletes the one on your screen, not whichever entry was selected last.
- Titles stop rewriting themselves as you type. A space could drop the cursor a line down, clearing a title brought the old one back, and on a brand-new entry a few keystrokes could go missing. Cozy was renaming the entry’s file on every save while you typed; it now waits until you leave the title, and your typing stays put.
- Accented filenames stop collecting numbers. Opening a journal synced through iCloud could rename “españa” to “españa-2”, then “españa-2-2”, once every time you opened it. Names that already grew those chains get trimmed back to what they were.
- Deleted entries stay deleted. A save already on its way could quietly recreate the file right after you deleted it, and a cloud drive would bring it back as duplicates. The delete wins now.
- Dark mode stops washing out its own buttons. The label on a green button, the number on the filter badge and the letter on a journal pill came out near-white on a bright fill. They’re dark now, and readable.
