Dawnbook — Support
Dawnbook is a private gratitude journal and mood calendar for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. If something isn't working, or you have an idea, email us at travis@grdesign.build — we read every message.
Dawnbook was called Five until October 2026 — same app, same journal, same purchases, new name.
Common questions
How do I get my journal on my other devices?
Dawnbook syncs the text of your journal (entries, moods, tags, and stars) through your own iCloud. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID on each device and that iCloud is turned on for Dawnbook in Settings → [your name] → iCloud. Changes usually appear within a minute when both devices are online.
Why don't my photos appear on my other devices?
Photos are kept only on the device where you added them — they're never uploaded anywhere, including iCloud. That's part of keeping your journal private.
How do I restore Dawnbook+ on a new device?
Open Dawnbook → Settings → Unlock Dawnbook+ → Restore. Use the same Apple ID you bought it with. If you have Family Sharing, Dawnbook+ is shared with your family too.
How do I cancel or change my Dawnbook+ subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple: open the Settings app → [your name] → Subscriptions → Dawnbook. Cancelling keeps Dawnbook+ until the end of the period you've paid for. Your journal itself is always free and is never affected. If you'd rather not subscribe at all, Dawnbook+ Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
How do I save my mood to Apple Health?
Open Dawnbook → Settings → Apple Health → turn on Save mood to Apple Health, then allow access when iOS asks. Dawnbook writes each day's mood to State of Mind; it never reads your health data. To stop, turn the setting off, or remove access in the Health app → Sharing → Apps → Dawnbook.
How do I add the widgets?
Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap Edit → Add Widget, and search for Dawnbook. "Mood check-in" lets you log today's mood with one tap; "Dawnbook" shows your streak and your week. Lock Screen versions are available when you customize your Lock Screen.
Can I export my journal?
Yes. Settings → Your Data → Export as text (free) or Export as PDF (Dawnbook+). The file is created on your device and you choose where it goes.
How do I delete a page, or everything?
To delete one day, open it and tap ••• → Delete this page. To erase your whole journal, go to Settings → Your Data → Delete all journal data. Both remove the data from your device and your iCloud, and remove moods Dawnbook saved to Apple Health. This can't be undone, so export first if you want a copy.
I turned on Face ID lock and can't get in.
Tap Unlock on the lock screen. If Face ID doesn't recognize you, iOS offers your device passcode instead.
I'm not getting reminders.
Check Settings → Notifications → Dawnbook and make sure notifications are allowed, then choose your morning and evening times in Dawnbook → Settings → Reminders.
