- Sessions name themselves. Starting a session from your phone gave you
nowhere to type a title, so it landed in the journal as "Untitled" and usually
stayed that way. Now an untitled session takes the name of the first substance
you log into it — so a session you started one-handed in the dark shows up as
"ketamine" rather than "Untitled". Only the first dose names it, a title you
typed yourself is never overwritten, and you can still rename anything at any
time by tapping its title on the phone or editing it on the desktop. - A title field when you start a session on the phone. Optional — leave it
blank and the naming above takes over.

Already have Field Notes installed? You don't need any of these — the app offers
the update itself on next launch.
First launch
The installers aren't code-signed, so each OS will warn you once:
- macOS — "Field Notes can't be opened because it is from an unidentified
developer." Right-click (or Control-click) the app in Applications and choose
Open, then confirm. Only needed the first time. - Windows — SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC." Click
More info → Run anyway.
The other files
latest.json, Field.Notes_universal.app.tar.gz, and every .sig file belong to
the in-app updater. You don't need to download them.
