Getting started with Echo Write your first entry, understand where it is stored, and decide up front how private you want the journal to be. Read Writing entries A fast Markdown editor with a floating formatting toolbar, checklists, tables, code and inline media. Read Dictate an entry and review it first Record on-device, edit the transcript, and choose raw or cleaned text before inserting anything. Read The six lenses Six different ways back into what you have written: by everything, by week, by anniversary, by picture, by mood and by place. Read Mood and the Mood Map Add mood labels and view patterns across days and months. Read Locking your journal Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode, auto-lock, and a privacy screen that blanks Echo in the app switcher. Read Your monthly Review Review tells the story of a month or a year from what you wrote: photos, counts, how it felt, where you were and the days that stood out. How to open it, what Apple Intelligence adds, and how saving and sharing work. Read On-device intelligence Apple Intelligence can sense mood, offer reflective prompts and build monthly reviews using on-device models. Read Version history Echo keeps previous revisions when an entry changes, so you can review or restore an earlier version. Read Bringing a journal in, and taking yours out Bring a journal in from Day One or Apple Journal, and take yours out whenever you like in a documented open format, with entries, tags and full-resolution media. Read Echo’s privacy in practice Local-first storage, private iCloud sync, no account, no tracking, and exactly what that does and does not protect. Read Siri and Shortcuts Echo’s actions for Siri and the Shortcuts app: writing, appending, searching, updating and deleting entries, and why deleting is not a voice phrase. Read
