Collections are containers — a single entry whose body is a list of other entries. Use them to group anything that belongs together: a trip, a project, a year, a theme.
Creating a collection
- Tap + and choose Collection.
- Give it a title (e.g. Japan 2026, House renovation).
- Add items — any entry type, as many as you want.
Adding items
Inside the collection, tap + to add a new item. You can pick any of the regular entry types — notes, events, photos, location pins, whatever fits.
On macOS, drag files or photos from Finder onto the collection to import them directly as collection items.
Search finds nested items
When you search, collection items surface as first-class results — each one shows “in [Collection Title]” so you know where it lives. Tapping the result takes you into the collection with the item selected.
Collections vs. regular entries
- A regular entry lives in your journal’s main list.
- A collection is a group of entries kept together — it still appears in the journal list, but its contents are nested inside.
