Calendar & map views

However you remember things, by when or by where, Cozy has a view that helps you find your way back.

Calendar view

Section titled “Calendar view”

See your entries laid out on a calendar, with photo days showing a thumbnail.

The calendar view in Cozy, with photo thumbnails on the days that have entries

  • Click a day with an entry to open it.
  • Click an empty past day (or today) to start an entry for that date. Future days stay disabled.
  • When a day holds more than one entry, a tidy sheet slides up listing them all, each with its thumbnail and a snippet, so you can pick the one you meant.

Map view

Section titled “Map view”

If you’ve added locations to your entries, the map view pins each one to the place you wrote it.

The map view, with entries pinned to the places they were written

  • Nearby entries cluster into a single pin with a small count badge (3, 12, 99+). Zoom out and pins merge together; zoom in and they split back apart into individual markers, so the map stays readable at every scale.
  • Click a pin to open the entry, or, if it holds several, a short list of every entry pinned there, so you can jump straight to the right one.
  • Click the expand button in the corner of the map panel to let it fill the full window. Press Escape or click the button again to go back. A single-entry pin opens its entry and collapses the map automatically; a cluster pin keeps the map open and slides up a list of nearby entries to choose from.
  • The map keeps working when you go offline. Cozy caches tiles on disk as you browse, so places you’ve already looked at load without a connection. New areas fill in once you’re back online.

All journals

Section titled “All journals”

If you keep more than one journal, an All journals row sits at the top of the sidebar. Pick it and every journal pours into one feed, newest first, with a little colored dot on each entry marking which journal it came from.

It’s the entry list you already know, just wider: the list, calendar, map, On This Day, search, and filters all span the whole collection. Open any entry and you stay in the combined feed; it comes up with its own journal’s trackers and tags, so editing across journals feels no different. Starting a fresh entry still happens inside a single journal, so think of this as the place to read back through everything at once. Click any single journal to drop back to just that one.

Filtering

Section titled “Filtering”

Both views, your entry list, and the All journals feed can be narrowed with the filter menu. Filter by:

  • Trackers — pick one or more values from any tracker (Mood: Good, Weather: Sunny…).
  • Tags
  • Places
  • Years

Stack several together, say Mood: Good + the travel tag + 2025, to land on exactly the entries you mean.

What shows beneath each entry

Section titled “What shows beneath each entry”

By default, the location you wrote an entry from shows beneath its title in the list. You can change this in Settings to show tags, trackers, or any combination — or turn it all off. One line, scrollable sideways if it runs long. Whatever you pick applies everywhere the entry list appears: the sidebar, the calendar, the map, and On This Day.

On this day

Section titled “On this day”

The On this day view gathers entries you wrote on today’s date in past years, so you can read back through the same day across your history. More on finding your way around in Search & On this day.
