What's New

- Fixed: Storage Location preference settings may not update correctly after a background iCloud login update. This may have caused unexpected confusion as to why storage locations randomly switched.
- Fixed: Journal Picker headers may not appear correctly on macOS.
- Improved: Information about storage location differences of a journal are now clearer. The app also now prompts to automatically change settings for you if you want to access journals in a different location without migrating.
- Improved: There are now double-confirmations for journal storage location migrations to prevent accidental migrations.
