Journal
The Journal is one free-text entry per calendar day - a personal diary, separate from the notes and tags you attach to specific verses and chapters. It's on by default (no opt-in needed, and it never talks to the network) and reachable from its own Journal menu item.

Open Journal from the menu bar. It always opens to today. Just start typing - the entry autosaves a moment after you stop, the same way chapter and verse notes do. There's no save button.
Clearing an entry's text back to empty deletes it - the same "empty means delete" convention notes use.
Use Previous Day / Next Day to page through other dates. Next Day is disabled once you're viewing today, since entries can't be written for the future. Any day without an entry just shows a blank box - write something and it's saved for that date.
Reflecting on something you read? Type a reference into Reflecting on (optional) - e.g. Alma 32:21 - and press Enter. It resolves through the same reference parser AI-assisted search uses, so it understands the same shorthand and abbreviations (D&C, JS-H, and so on). Once resolved, it shows as a clickable row - click it to jump straight to that passage.
Clear removes the link without touching the entry's text.
Journal entries are keyword-searchable from the main search bar, right alongside Notes. A match works the same way notes do: it's based on what you actually wrote, not what the entry happens to be linked to - searching a word that only appears in the linked verse's own scripture text won't surface an entry unless that word is also in your own writing. Click a Journal result to jump straight to that entry's date.
Journal entries sync across your devices through the same Sync mechanism as your notes, tags, and highlights - matched by date, so the same day's entry merges correctly even across devices with otherwise-unrelated internal data. They're also included when you use Export Notes, as their own labeled section.
