  1. Tabbed journals with dividers, index hyperlinks, or table of contents

    Being able to click between dates in your journal or entries to help organise (which can also mean tabbed journals are an option) would be fantastic.

    • Thanks to everyone for your amazing feedback on these features.
    • We now have linking in Zinnia, and have been adding more and more tabs in the Studio, so you can now manually create your own dividers and linkable tabs. 
    • This feature request seems to be a blending of a few different requests, so I have created a new request called "Automatic index and table of contents," which you can access and upvote here if you'd like. I'm going to close this feature request since we have implemented linking and tabbed dividers in the Studio. I have also collected all of the comments and feedback and have referenced them with the team. Appreciate all of you!!!
  2. Crop, mask, or erase parts of content and photos

    Just a few examples: I would definitely want to apply, for instance, a paper texture behind (or into) a frame. If the frame is hand-drawn I may want to create a mask that follows the contours of the frame. Or if the frame and texture are of different proportions I may want to crop the texture so it fits. Or I may not want to scale the texture down, so I would create a mask to reveal a portion of the texture at 100% of size.

  3. Create and save custom color palettes, including recents

    Idea 1: Ability to create a palette of colors that could be used, for instance, throughout a themed journal or page. This would also allow the ability to save frequently used/favorite custom colors.

    Idea 2: Hi there — I’m LOVING Zinnia and have spent hours today making journals and calendars. Something that’s taken tons of time and is very repetitive is having to use the color picker to select custom font colors for each new text box. It would be wonderful to have a recent swatch menu like the one you provide for the ink colors in the drawing part…

  5. Folders / shelves - to organize by month, topic, or archive old journals

    Organize journals by month, topic, or have an "archive" folder to put old journals.

    Could also put folders inside a journal, so for example, what this user requested:

    In a 12 months planner, I want to be able to close Out months when I’m finished with them, but easily reopen for reference later as needed. Or if my journal has several topics, be able to open and close those topics and work within one space at a time. Page organizing.

    We have some exciting news to share - folders are here! To create a new folder, just tap the "+" icon in the upper right-hand corner. To move a journal into a folder, you can long hold on the journal using your finger or Apple pencil and drag and drop it into the folder you want. You can also move your journal to a folder using the three dot menu in the bottom right-hand corner of the journal. We hope you love this new feature!

  8. Ability to mirror flip content

  11. Ability to lasso text

    Being able to use the lasso tool to better select text then an option to change the color of the text without having to write the same text with a different color. Doesn’t make sense to be rewriting things.

  12. Calligraphy pen writing tool

    Now that smoothing has been introduced (yay!) I’d like to see a calligraphy tool introduced to do custom lettering. I tried using the highlighter tool (because it is tapered) with max opacity, but I wasn’t getting the small skinny up strokes and thick downstrokes that I wanted with the highlighter. Plus, if I use a light shade with the highlighter and run back over a section, I can see where I went back on my letter.

    We have some exciting news - introducing Zinnia's calligraphy pen! We tailored its design to the new Apple Pencil Pro, and it works beautifully with the Pro's innovative Barrel Roll feature. Don't have the new Apple Pencil Pro? You'll still be able to write wonderfully with the new calligraphy pen.  


    After selecting the calligraphy pen: Hover your Apple Pencil Pro, see the brush head preview, then roll your pencil to see how your strokes will line up. With the Pro's responsive stylus, you can create thin and thick, dark and light lettering that looks and feels just like real-life calligraphy.

  13. Customizable categories in "My Stuff"

    Being able to put all the things saved into my stuff under tabs and in separate files would make it a lot easier to find what you need quickly. Being able to label these items and search them would be cool as well

  14. Desktop or web version

    Several requests for a desktop version of Zinnia:

    • Being able to edit online to be able to access images and objects from my computer.
    • I would love Zinnia to have a MacOS desktop app which it syncs to, so that I can plan on both my iPad and my Mac.
    • Possibility for a Zinnia windows 10 app and have the option to sync from iCloud devices
    • Be able to make it on desktop for apples
    • I need the ability to view notes on other platforms

  16. Sort and filter pages and journals by name, date created, date updated, or reorder manually

    The journal page thumbnail display. I'd like to see the timestamp(s) of the page with its thumbnail -- create date, last edit date. I also want the ability to sort & filter by create date and last edit date. I also want to be able to name each page so that I can search for it and sort alphabetically. All this so I can group, section, identify, and find my pages in ways that make sense to me.

    I know you can name the journal but I would like to open the journal and see the name of each note…

  18. Add Widget Feature

    Please add a feature to have the widget so it can be added in the screen for iPhones and androids. Daily journaling with it would be a breeze or a custom page could be set when a widget is added and it would open directly to a plain customizable page.

    July content didn’t come out until it was too late to put the plan in for the next month, It should be a month ahead. The 2023 content needs to come out earlier too.
