Health became one of the most important elements of Apple’s policies years ago. All of its services and products usually have a health-oriented point in one of its offshoots. An example of this is watchOS, the Apple Watch operating system, which continues to grow and introduce new tools to monitor our health. A report published a few hours ago indicates that Apple could launch a new app in iOS 17 focused on monitoring our mental health, nail type of diary which would collect information from our daily lives.
Sanity, another element of overall health, in iOS 17
Journaling is something that many experts recommend for a number of reasons. One of them is to be aware of our daily life, to evaluate positively and negatively what happens to us on a daily basis and above all, to remember the things that have made us happy or marked us over the days. This is important for OUR Mental Health, a key element that must be protected and promoted without a doubt. There are many applications in the form of a diary but Apple may be working on a new daily format app to improve users’ mental health.
The information comes from the Wall Street Journal, which accessed internal documents on the operation of this new application with the code name ‘Jurassic’.
Apple’s diary app, codenamed Jurassic, is designed to help users keep track of their daily lives, according to documents describing the software. The app will analyze user behavior to determine what a typical day looks like, including time spent at home compared to other locations, and whether any given day included anything out of the norm, according to the documents.

The app can monitor and analyze our daily life not only with the information we give you manually, but with the automatic recording of information through location, calls, texts, etc. Apple, in its internal documents, ensures that this information will be analyzed inside the device and that there would be no issues with user privacy, as always. In fact, the scan with this data could remain on the device for four weeks, after which it would be deleted.
We could also write notes, record audio, record images and a long etcetera, with the aim of keeping a physical and mental health diary with expert advice and recommendations for managing our emotions and leading a healthier life. It is expected, although still without confirmation of any kind, that this application will see the light of day during WWDC23 and will be integrated into the native applications of iOS 17.
