Managing Entries
Edit your journal text, rename entries, delete ones you no longer need, and regenerate AI insights.
Overview
Your journal entries are yours to shape. You can edit the text, change the title, delete entries, or ask the AI to re-analyze what you wrote. When you update your text, the AI automatically refreshes its insights to match.
Opening the Menu
Tap the icon in the top-right corner of any entry to open the Manage Entry menu.
Menu Options
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rename | Give the entry a custom title. The AI generates one automatically, but you can change it to something more meaningful — like "Monday reflection" or "Gratitude before bed". |
| Edit | Opens the entry text in an editor so you can rewrite or refine it. After saving, the AI reprocesses the updated text to regenerate fresh insights. |
| Rate Experience | Rate the guided experience that created this entry. Only appears for entries created from a guided experience. |
| Delete | Permanently removes the entry, its AI insights, and any associated image. A brief Undo notification appears in case you tapped by mistake. |
| AI | |
| Generate Image | Creates a new AI-generated image for the entry based on your text. If the entry already has an image, this option shows as Re-generate Image. |
| Generate Insights | Re-runs the AI analysis on your existing text to regenerate summary, mood, hashtags, wellness, and knowledge items. Shows as Re-generate Insights if insights already exist. |
| Usage | Opens your usage statistics. A small progress bar next to the option shows your current usage at a glance — blue, yellow, or red. |
| Expressive Voice | A toggle for a more natural, emotionally expressive voice when using Read Aloud. See Expressive Voice for details. |
Editing an Entry
Tap Edit from the menu to open the text editor with your current entry. You can also long-press the entry text itself to get a quick Copy / Edit shortcut. Make your changes — you can type or speak — then tap to save. The AI automatically reprocesses the updated text to regenerate fresh insights (summary, hashtags, mood, wellness, and knowledge items), so everything stays in sync with what you wrote.
Renaming an Entry
Tap Rename to change the entry title. You can also long-press an entry card in the journal list and choose Rename from the context menu. Descriptive names like "Work stress check-in" or "Evening gratitude" make it easier to find specific entries later.
Deleting an Entry
Tap Delete from the menu, or long-press an entry card and choose Delete. A confirmation dialog asks you to confirm before anything is removed. Once deleted, the entry, its AI insights, and any associated image are permanently gone.
Rating an Experience
If the entry was created from a guided experience, the menu includes Rate Experience. Tap it to rate the experience with 1–5 stars and optionally add a comment. You can submit anonymously if you prefer. Your feedback helps improve Onsen for everyone.
Tips
- Rename for easy recall — custom names like "Monday morning reflection" are easier to find than AI-generated titles.
- Edit freely — the AI re-analyzes your text every time you save, so your insights always reflect your latest writing.
- Regenerate when needed — if insights seem off or you want a fresh perspective, tap Generate Insights without editing the text.
