Journal: Remove the day of tomorrow

The most intuitive is to hit the last date when we are checking off for today. It’s confusing to have to double check that we don’t check off our habits for tomorrow. Please see picture below.

At least please make it intuitive to not click the last date by mistake when we are checking off for today.

This could be done by replacing the date of tomorrow with the text “Next” or “Tmw” or a symbol like ➡️ etc.

Another solution could be to put a Green box around the date of today, to make it intuitive to hit the right date.

However, the very best option in my view would be to remove the “tomorrow” from Journal view. This would make the log process much more intuitive! If you choose another solution that would also be helpful 😊

    Hello @Vision !

    Tomorrow can be helpful for people who have behaviors to preview their schedule for better preparation.

    If you are viewing another date not current day in the Journal view, you can see an arrow back button which can quickly navigate you back to current day when you tap on it.

      Hi Minh 😊

      Thank you very much for your reply!

      I understand the purpose of the tomorrow button, but when preparations are needed, I just put that preparation as an evening habit the day before instead. Hence, not much need for the tomorrow button in my view :)

      The challenge is that I find that I must double check every time I’m checking off a habit. This is slowing down the process. I guess it’s because I don’t find it intuitive that “today” should be number two from the right.

      I don’t think I have such an arrow back button, using Android. I could exit the app though, and get back in.

      What do you think about my other proposals in this post:

      •Replacing the date of tomorrow with the text “Next” or “Tmw” or a symbol like ➡️ etc.

      •Put a Green box around the date of today, to make it intuitive to hit the right date.

      •Or, make it optional in settings if we want the tomorrow button?

      Do you think any of those could be helpful to make it more intuitive to hit the correct day, without the need for double checking?

      Thank you very much for your great work 😊

        Hi Vision!

        Thank you so much for your insightful sharing.

        Imo, I think your ideas are considerable, and I will definitely forward them to the team. However, I just want to let you know that any modifications to the Journal view require very careful consideration before we can build an implementation plan. Because the Journal is the core screen of the app, even minor visual or layout changes can significantly disrupt the muscle memory and long-time behaviors of our existing users. The team always has to weigh these adjustments thoroughly to ensure a smooth transition for everyone.

        Regardless, feedback like yours is exactly what helps us recognize these blind spots and design better solutions. We truly appreciate your support and the time you took to share these great ideas with us!

        Please let me know if you need help with anything else.
