What is Jurnie?

Jurnie is a goal achievement platform with an AI mentor that takes action. Set life goals (called Journeys), break them into tasks, build daily habits, plan your day on a visual calendar, and let AI handle the execution — creating tasks, managing your schedule, and tracking your progress. Jurnie doesn't just suggest what to do. It does it for you.

Scheduled Actions, Chat Persistence & Notifications

Your AI mentor can now take action on a schedule, your conversations persist across sessions, and a new chat icon keeps you in the loop when the mentor has something to say.

Added

  • Scheduled actions— ask your AI mentor to do something later (e.g. “remind me tomorrow to review my goals”). The mentor queues the action and runs it at the right time using background scheduling. You stay focused now; the mentor follows up when it matters.
  • Chat persistence— your AI conversation history now saves across sessions. Close the browser, come back later, and pick up where you left off without losing context.
  • Chat notification icon in header— a chat icon in the navigation bar shows an unread badge when your AI mentor has new messages. Tap it to jump straight into the conversation without scrolling.
  • Floating chat input— a compact pill sits at the bottom of your screen. Tap it, type your message, and it opens the full AI chat with your message ready to send. No extra taps.

Fixed

  • The unread badge on the chat icon now correctly restores if marking messages as read fails, so you never miss a mentor response.
  • Google Calendar events now respect your timezone when created through Jurnie. Previously, events could end up at the wrong time if your timezone differed from UTC.
  • Mobile keyboard no longer covers the chat input on iOS and Android.

Your AI Mentor Can Take Action

Previously, the AI mentor could only chat. Now it has 14 tools and can actually do things on your behalf — you review and approve each action before it happens.

Added

  • AI tool-calling with approval UI— ask your mentor to create tasks, update due dates, log habits, set daily intentions, check consistency stats, or manage Google Calendar events. Each action shows a card you can approve or decline. When your mentor suggests multiple actions at once, an “Approve All” button lets you confirm them in one tap. Only actions you approve are saved to your mentor's memory.
  • Full Google Calendar editing— create, edit, move between calendars, and delete events directly from the day, week, or month view. Click any event to open an inline edit popover with a calendar selector. Subscribed and shared calendars are automatically detected as read-only so you won't accidentally try to edit events you can't change.
  • Right-click context menus— right-click any task on the calendar to quickly reschedule (“tomorrow,” “next week”), mark it complete, or edit it. Works across month, week, and day views — and on Google events too (open in Google Calendar, edit, or delete).
  • Click-to-create on calendar— click or click-and-drag on any time slot in the day or week view to create a new task pre-filled with the selected time and duration.

Changed

  • Signup flow simplified — analytics showed most users dropping off at the email confirmation step, so we removed it. You can now start using Jurnie immediately after signing up.
  • “Visions” renamed to “Journeys” across the entire app to better reflect what they represent — ongoing life goals, not static destinations.
  • Timezone handling standardized — dates now consistently reflect your local time, not the server's. Your browser timezone is synced to your profile on every sign-in.
  • Settings reorganized — Schedule and Integrations tabs merged into a single Calendar tab.

Fixed

  • Google Calendar sync is now more reliable. If your connection to Google becomes permanently invalid, Jurnie now automatically disconnects and prompts you to reconnect instead of showing cryptic errors.
  • Overdue task cards now show a consistent amber border across all calendar views.

Calendar Day Planner

You could see tasks on a monthly calendar, but there was no way to plan your actual day hour by hour. Now there is.

Added

  • Day and week planner views— a full time grid showing your tasks and Google Calendar events side by side. Drag unscheduled tasks from the tray onto the grid to time-block them. Drag to move, resize to adjust duration. Your working hours are configurable in Settings.
  • Journey colors— choose from a curated 10-color palette for each Journey. Calendar task blocks display in your chosen color, making it easy to tell which goal a task belongs to at a glance. Unassigned Journeys get auto-assigned colors deterministically.
  • Hover-to-complete— hover over any task on the calendar to reveal a completion checkbox. No need to open the task first. The checkbox hides during drag to prevent accidental toggles.
  • Animated view selector with smooth transitions between Day, Week, and Month.

Fixed

  • Scroll position preserved when switching between Day, Week, and Month views.

Habits, Partners & Google Calendar

Goals aren't just about checking off tasks — they're about building daily habits and having people who keep you accountable. This update adds both, plus deep Google Calendar integration.

Added

  • Habit tracking— create daily habits linked to your Journeys. Choose which days of the week each habit applies to. Track streaks and see your consistency on a visual grid that shows your progress over time. Streak milestones show toast celebrations.
  • Accountability partners— invite friends by email to follow your Journeys. Partners can see your tasks, streaks, and recent activity in a read-only view. Send each other cheers to celebrate progress. You can revoke access at any time from Settings.
  • Google Calendar sync— connect your Google account to see calendar events alongside your tasks in the month view. Events display with their actual Google Calendar colors. Toggle individual calendars on/off from a popover in the calendar header.
  • Install as app— Jurnie prompts mobile users to add it to the home screen as an installable web app with push notifications.
  • Responsive task creation— on mobile, adding a new task opens a bottom drawer instead of an inline expander for a more natural touch experience.

AI Images, Focus & Notifications

Your Journeys got a visual upgrade, and now Jurnie actively helps you stay focused throughout the day.

Added

  • AI-generated journey covers— generate a unique cover image for any Journey using AI. The image appears instantly so you never wait. Each image gets a watermarked Jurnie logo.
  • Today's Focus— a daily intention card that highlights the tasks you plan to complete today. Pick your focus tasks in the morning, and they stay synced across all your devices — no more different lists on your phone and laptop.
  • Push notifications— opt in to daily reminders that arrive at the time you choose (timezone-aware). Jurnie nudges you to check in and keep your streak alive, with overdue tasks included in the reminder.
  • Share journey cards— share a visual card of your Journey and its progress with friends.
  • Overdue tasks and tasks due today are automatically added to Today's Focus each morning so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Smooth animations added across the app for polished transitions.

Animations & Streaks

Small touches that make the app feel alive.

Added

  • Animated sunrise illustration on empty states — a warm welcome when you're just getting started.
  • Daily streak counter with smooth counting animation and motivational messages at milestones (7 days, 30 days, etc.).

Quality of Life

Added

  • Option to show or hide completed tasks — keep your task list clean or review what you've accomplished.

Changed

  • UI polish across task lists, Journey cards, and settings.

Jurnie Launches

The first version of Jurnie goes live — a place to turn your dreams into actionable plans.

Added

  • Journeys— create big life goals with custom icons and descriptions. Each Journey is a north star you work toward, with a progress indicator showing how many tasks you've completed.
  • Tasks & subtasks— break Journeys into actionable tasks. Add subtasks for more detail. Drag to reorder your priorities.
  • Real-time sync— changes sync instantly across all your devices in real time.
  • AI mentor— chat with an AI that knows about your goals and gives personalized guidance. Remembers past conversations, so it builds context over time.
  • Sign in with email or Google. Guest mode lets you try Jurnie before creating an account — your data carries over when you sign up.
  • Monthly calendar view showing tasks by due date.
