New feature: Download your journal or history

Announcements
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve added a new feature to Sober Time that many have been asking for. It will let you download your entire journal, or your history entries, to a PDF file that you can store or share. This is great if you want to keep it for your own records, but also if you want to share it in your meetings or with friends/family/therapists.

Here’s a quick how-to:

Go to your journal and tap the new download button in the top-right:

Pick a date range. By default, it will use the first and last day of the month you’re currently on, but you can change this to fit your needs.

You’ll get a PDF that you can do whatever you want with:

Some notes:

Journal

  • Journal entries with their rating and notes will be shown
  • Completed milestones will be shown on the day they completed
  • Resets will be shown on the day they were reset, but without any notes.
  • All results will be filtered to include only the dates you selected

History

  • The history process is the same. Head over to your history page and tap download.
  • Instead of a date range, pick an addiction or select “All”. This addiction(s) resets will be generated in a PDF.
  • The reset will include the full detail (notes, dates, name, etc)

I hope this new feature is useful. Let me know if you have any feedback or something else you’d like to see here (within reason!).

Thank you @Robin! I tried the feature. It did download January 2023 but it did not work for a random start and end date, I tried various.
I’m using a Samsung with Android.

Random how? You need to have entries or something happening in the date range for it to download a report.

Yes there are entries. I tried to download december 2022, the whole year 2022 (1.1. -31.12) and April 2021 up to date. All these timespans have entries. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I tried again and it worked. Had to wait a minute until it was completed. Thank you for the feature, it’s great :pray:

It can take a second depending on the amount of entries. Maybe I’ll add a little loading indicator in the next update.

Obviously I have a lot of entries :blush: Thanks, an indicator would be helpful. I might have closed the app too early because I thought it froze.
