There’s a section on Apple’s macOS 26 Tahoe site that reads “Calm in the brainstorm.” The tagline introduces the revamped version of Spotlight, but there’s another Mac experience that it’s even more applicable to for me.

From iPhone-only to every Apple device

Rewind the clock to December 2023 when Apple shipped iOS 17.2 with the brand new Journal app. iPhone users were somewhat critical of the new app due to its basic features single device availability.

Six months later, Apple shipped a significant set of new features in iOS 18. However, the experience was still limited to the iPhone.

One year after that, Apple announced that iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 Tahoe would include the Journal app at last.
